Ludhiana, October 20, 2018: A horrible tragedy has struck the people of Amritsar. The train tragedy on Dushera has left a number of patients with various injuries including vascular trauma. Dr Harinder Singh Bedi, Chairman, Cardio Vascular Endovascular & Thoracic Surgery in Ludhiana – told that this means damage to any of the blood vessels mostly of the arm or leg. The treatment in selected cases entails a meticulous skilled surgery which can restore blood supply and save the limb. Dr Bedi is one of the senior most members of the Vascular Society of India (VSI) and is the Founder Patron of the Association of North Zone Cardio Thoracic & Vascular Surgeons (ANZCTVS) . He explained that there are a limited number of trained vascular surgeons in India. In case required – he offered the services of his full super-speciality team to the Government to treat such cases without any surgical charge. Dr Bedi has been in active practice in Punjab for 20 years and he feels that this is the least that he can do for the people of our region.
