Once upon a time knowledge was power, but, now, it turns out that sharing of knowledge is not only power, but a blessing too
Two months back i was talking to a childhood friend over phone . (Let us call him Mr.X .) He was recuperating from viral fever . In between our exchanges , he casually referred to a jaw pain he had along with his other symptoms . I had read somewhere that lower jaw pain was a symptom of heart disease which many were unaware of . I passed the information to him and requested him to go for a check-up . Though he registered the fact, he never did a check-up. Period.
A few weeks later another friend rang me up at an odd hour and broke the news that Mr.X suffered a heart attack .
Mr.X had a 90% blockage . He underwent angioplasty . And is safe now .
A week later Mr.X rang me up. He told me that had i not mentioned to him about the seriousness of the lower jaw pain, maybe, he wouldn't have thought of going to the hospital .
