YAVATMAL: A 25-year-old on the verge of losing a limb after an accident got a new lease of life as orthopaedic surgeon Dr Nilesh Yelnare came to his rescue and offered his services free of cost.
The youth Vaibhav Dilip Deshmukh, only breadwinner in the family residing in Pandharkawda tehsil, worked as tile fitter at construction sites. He had met with an accident in which his one knee was badly damaged.
Some doctors had even told him that he would never be able to stand on his legs.
Because of economic conditions, Vaibhav could not afford costly treatment or surgery. Responding to a plea by Vaibhav’s mother, municipal councillor of Pandharkawda Bunty Juawe approached Dr Yelnare who examined the patient and agreed to operate the youth.
Dr Yelnare and his team successfully performed the operation recently and the youth was discharged from the hospital on Thursday and sent back home hale and hearty.
Talking to TOI, Dr Yelnare said he is satisfied with the speedy recovery of the patient and added that such a difficult surgery was seldom performed in a small place like Yavatmal. Vaibhav will be able to resume his work within a fortnight, he said.
