Bengaluru News | "Covered In Blood, I Pleaded, None Helped": Bengaluru Woman Recounts Tragedy

Bengaluru was witness to a heart-wrenching incident yesterday that would put humanity to shame. A 34-year-old man was faced with complete indifference from a hospital and passersby and eventually met with an accident. Venkataramanan waited on the road, writhing in pain. He later died as his wife kept pleading for help with folded hands on the road. "Humanity failed to help my husband. I was covered in blood, pleading for help, but no one came," the wife lamented. But that didn't take humanity away from the mourning family. They donated his eyes, allowing his death to bring sight to others. A resident of Balaji Nagar, Venkataramanan was a garage mechanic. He developed severe chest pain around 3:30 am yesterday. The couple set out on a motorcycle for medical assistance, but little did they know the nightmare it would turn out. Speaking to NDTV, his wife recounted, "He complained about chest pain, and we went to the first hospital. But the doctor was not on duty. At the second hospital, we were told he had a stroke and to go to another hospital. When we called for ambulance services, they didn't respond properly. Humanity failed, but we did our bit by donating his eye."
