Sambalpur: 108 ambulance crew have become angels for an elderly patient. Bishnu Pradhan (65), son of late Brindaban Pradhan of Khandhat village under Redhakhol block of Sambalpur district, was suffering from chronic kidney disease along with severe anemia and was undergoing treatment at Redhakhol Hospital. When his condition suddenly deteriorated there, Dr AK Rout, who was treating him, advised him to immediately collect blood from the A’positive blood group.
