In a heartbreaking tweet, a doctor shared the story of a dying patient’s son who sang to his mother via video call, leaving everyone teary-eyed.
“Today, towards the end of my shift, I video-called relatives of a patient who is not going to make it. We usually do that in my hospital if it’s something they want. This patient’s son asked for a few minutes of my time. He then sang a song for his dying mother,” said Dr Dipshikha Ghosh.
She informed that Soham Chatterjee sang Kishore Kumar’s ‘Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Nata Koi’ for his mother Sanghamitra Chatterjee via video call. While he sung, the nurses also came over and stood in silence. He broke down in the middle, before completing the rest of the verse. Then he asked her vitals and thanked the doctor.
“Me and the nurses stood there. We shake our heads, our eyes moist. The nurses went back one by one to their allocated patients and attended to them or the alarms of vents/dialysis units. This song is changed for us, for me at least. This song will always be theirs,” Ghosh added.
