From Impossible to Possible - Touching Witness…


Mr Samuel R. C. Bhalla, A man of 59 with Diabetes, heart ailment, was eventually diagnosed with cancer in the kidney that affected his left thigh. Most of the renowned doctors of the city have advised him not to go for surgery in the midst of this list of complaints he has. However, the Kohinoor Hospital at Kurla took this surgery as a challenge and went for it. On the operation table it so happened that the heart beats of Mr Bhalla started sinking and was given 12 shocks to recover the beats. Mr Bhalla, The Assistant Commissioner of Central Excise Dept. Thane 3, experienced severe pain in his left thigh on 16th of August. With great difficulty he somehow managed to reach home and shared his problem with his daughter who is also a doctor. After which began the series of inspections consequently revealing the Cancer of Kidney. Following investigations proved that there is Tumour growing in his left thigh. Ruling out this tumour was inevitable. But the heart was not efficient enough to get the surgery done and so the Bhalla’s were greatly worried.

For last twenty plus years Mr Bhalla has been medicated with the Insulin to control his diabetes. And now the surgery was a big challenge in front of the doctors as it was said. The family rushed to almost all the best doctors in the city and outside, for ruling out the tumour but in vain. All the doctors just suggested ruling out the cancerous ailment by taking medicines rather than going for surgery. Finally, Kohinoor Hospital at Kurla came forward and said yes to get him operated for the tumour.

Mr Bhalla was a very delicate patient for them as he was having multiple health issues. Without this surgery he would not have a painless body throughout his life and a wheelchair would be his only friend. When Dr. Mahesh Kuvelkar and his team examined Mr. Bhalla’s case, they came to the conclusion that this challenge can be accepted and they wanted to go ahead with the surgery. Including the efficient team of cardiologists, oncologists and the anaesthetists the team ventured into the seemingly impossible affair.

While the surgery was on, it was noticed that heart beats of the patient were depleting. He had irregular contractions and the team started the option of giving him shocks which would regain his heart and function properly. After applying 12 shocks the heart of Mr. Bhalla started pumping normal. The doctors had already made me aware of the implications of the surgery said Mr. Bhalla. When he came back from his unconscious state and was told the entire episode of what had happened in the Operation Theatre says Bhalla that he had given thanks to the Almighty God for what He has done for him during the surgery and paid his gratitude to the doctors also for being instrumental in getting his life back and now he lives.

Mr. Bhalla Testimony:

I give God all the glory, honor and praise for fulfilling the promise he made to me in Isaiah 41:10, for taking me through the valley of shadow of death and bringing me out alive. For he is a God who is able to do more than we can ask or imagine.
