Driver, Conductor Divert Bus To Hospital To Help Save 5YO Who Was Having Seizures, Offer To Pay For Treatment
The driver diverted the bus to a nearby hospital after a 5-year-old kid, travelling with his mother, had seizures while on the BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport) bus.
We've all heard how Mumbai is a fast-paced city where nobody really cares about anyone. But the people are the city's spirit and a recent instance has just proved that.
Recently, a bus conductor at a Mumbai local bus set an example for others by diverting the bus to a hospital when a 5-year-old kid had seizures on the bus. The kid was travelling with his mother when he had the attack.

But it wasn't just the bus conductor, the entire staff on the bus including the ticket collector, and the driver immediately vacated the bus and diverted it to a nearby hospital. They even offered to deposit the cash collected during the day to get the child admitted.
The incident was shared by a Facebook user named Tanvi Gavankar who was at the hospital. She mentioned how the bus staff arrived at Thakur Hospital at 1:30 pm while she was leaving. The entire hospital staff including the doctors and the nurses helped the child.
The bus staff even carried the kid in their arms and took him to the hospital.
After the heroic act came to light, the entire us staff was facilitated by the general manager of BEST, Lokesh Chandra and he told the media that they will be rewarded.
