New Delhi: A youth took to social media to narrate the horrific experience of a life threatening surgery, he later thanked the doctors for everything. The youth identified as Harshit Sharma narrated his entire ordeal in detail.
According to the documents shared in the post, the 17-year-old was diagnosed with kyphoscoliosis, a spinal disorder that caused a hunched back.
Here is what the social media post read, “Hi, I am Harshit Sharma. I created many fundraising posts around July and raised some money. On 9 August, AIIMS surprisingly called me for an urgent surgery as a rare slot was available. My surgery was scheduled for 12 August but got cancelled due to the nationwide doctors’ strike in support of the victim at RG KAR Hospital in Kolkata. Then, I had a severe allergic reaction to the hair removal cream used on my back before the surgery was scheduled.
“After all this, I didn’t create any more fundraising posts, as I had already posted about my surgery being scheduled and was concerned people would doubt my intentions,” Harshit Sharma further said.
Finally, I underwent my surgery procedure on 25th October – it was incredibly tough. I was in the ICU for 2 days. Doctors had to transfuse 9 units of blood. I had 65+ stitches and was in such pain that even multiple painkiller injections couldn’t help. I couldn’t eat for 10 days.
“But I am so glad I am alive. This post is to thank the people who contributed their hard-earned money for me and to address those who doubted me.” Harshit Sharma said, “I am attaching the discharge summary from AIIMS Delhi.”
And this is me asking for money one last time, as I couldn’t raise even half the money needed, and my financial condition is not looking very good due to the numerous expenses even after the surgery, ” he signed off as he appealed for financial help.
