Serina walked with her parents to the side of the parking in Vashist, anxious to climb to experience the warmth of the hot sulfur spring. Suddenly her father keeled over, gasped and clutched his chest. He stopped breathing. Serina was a doctor herself so she knew what to do. They administered CPR and loaded her father onto a autorickshaw and told them to drive to the nearest hospital, pumping his chest and breathing for him all the way. At the Mission hospital the emergency bell rang as soon as he hit the door and a host of staff descended and took over. He was intubated, defibrillated, and shifted to icu on a ventilator. Over the next 48 hours he was stabilized then transported by a ventilated ambulance to Chandigarh where he recovered and was able to fly home to Pune.
Fast forward to many years later. Serina recorded a video of her father singing Carnatik music and sent it to the Mission hospital, ever grateful for the life of her father, saved by people who attended to him knew what to do and did it in time. God’s hand of healing is in the Mission hospital.
