He is 73 years old. A gentle man known in his village for his quiet walks at sunrise and his love for storytelling.But behind his calm presence, he had been battling something silently, dizziness, chest tightness, and sudden weakness that he kept dismissing as “old age.”
One afternoon, his situation changed abruptly.He felt an intense pressure in his chest, followed by shortness of breath.His legs gave way. He collapsed in his compound.His family panicked. Neighbours ran in.Someone shouted his name repeatedly.He was barely responsive.Someone remembered a number they had saved weeks before: “Call My Doctor; they can help.” They dialled immediately. A My Doctor clinician picked up on the first ring.After a quick assessment over the phone, the clinician said firmly: “Rush him now. A My Doctor Community Clinic is happening in your area today.He must get there immediately.”
They carried him into a neighbour’s vehicle and sped towards the My Doctor setup point; a place they had seen posters for but never imagined would one day save a life. When they arrived, the My Doctor medical team acted instantly.His blood pressure was dangerously high.His pulse was irregular. He was in the middle of a hypertensive crisis, the kind that kills in minutes. The clinicians worked fast. They stabilised him.They oxygenated him.They administered emergency medication. They monitored him closely until his breathing improved and his pressure began to drop. The old man opened his eyes slowly.
He whispered: “Where am I?”His daughter broke down in tears. She kept saying: “My Doctor saved my father.” Today, the 73-year-old man is alive, recovering, and committed to receiving regular monitoring through My Doctor services. His family cannot stop talking about what happened because they know the truth:If they hadn’t called My Doctor, and if the My Doctor Community Clinic hadn’t been in their village that day, he would not be here today.
