@RedLaser4000 @kesleeman What a difference it makes to give a peaceful death with their families! Working in Africa for 45 years since I’ve been in PC all our patients have died peacefully no matter how little money they have. They die at home with dignity and at peace and love with their families.

@RedLaser4000 @kesleeman They have it wrong in Sydney Australia. How many of those who brought that bill to fruition have seen palliative care at work, even in the most poorest or the most difficult families? I’ve actually seen what part palliative care and compassion can do even in the poorest of homes.

@thewire_in Compassion has been replaced by money even in Africa.

@mrraj47 @palliumindia @WorldHospiceDay @TaraRajendran It must’ve been beautiful. I actually took some lessons when I was in India in 1981 and brought home a sitar with me but I never was able to play like you. So it went into the attic and I think when I moved house they gave it away!

Despite the difficult conditions of dirty water and poor visibility, Karapetyan bravely dived in and used his legs to break open the trolleybus's back window.

With great determination, he saved 46 out of the 92 passengers, rescuing 20 lives. But the cold water and broken glass caused many cuts on Karapetyan's body, and he had to stay in the hospital for 45 days.

He faced more problems like pneumonia and sepsis. Although he eventually recovered, the damage to his lungs meant he couldn't continue his successful swimming career.

"I knew I could only save a limited number of lives. I was scared of making mistakes. It was so dark down there that I could hardly see anything. Once, I accidentally grabbed a seat instead of a person during a dive. I could have saved a life instead. That memory still haunts me in my nightmares," he said.

In 1985, Karapetyan came across a burning building where several people were trapped. Without hesitation, he bravely entered the building and started rescuing the people inside. Unfortunately, he suffered severe burns during the rescue and had to go to the hospital again.
