Former CM Kumaraswamy who recovered from a stroke says he got a 'third birth'
H D Kumaraswamy, who has recovered from a stroke due to timely treatment, said on Sunday that this was his «third birth».
Giving credit to God and the team of doctors who treated him, the JD(S) second-in-command said he got a new lease of life to be amidst the people of the state. Before being discharged, Kumaraswamy also appealed to the people not to take the symptoms of stroke and paralysis lightly.
«For the past five days, some of my friends were in fear.
If I am talking to you, then I must say that I got a rebirth,» the former chief minister said.
«With regard to my health, God has given me a third birth. If a person gets one birth, in my case I am of the opinion that in my 64 years of age, I got my third birth,» he added.
Kumaraswamy was hospitalised in the early hours of August 30 at a reputed hospital in the city.
Doctors treating him said he had had a stroke, which was then cured completely.
Recalling the turn of events that led to his hospitalisation, the JD(S) leader said he woke up at about 2 am on August 30 and felt his health was not in good condition. The JD(S) leader said he quickly called his brother-in-law and eminent cardiologist Dr C N Manjunath and later consulted a neurologist who advised him to get admitted.
Kumaraswamy appealed to the people of the state not to waste even a single minute whenever they come across such symptoms.
«I sensed the symptoms of paralysis at 2 am. If had ignored it and said I will go to the doctor in the morning, I would have spent the rest of my life permanently on the bed,» he said.
He said never think that doctors are working to make money because when the patient comes, they sincerely make an effort to save them.
