NEVER LIGHT CANDLE in A/C ROOM

A lady has passed away due to carbon-monoxide poisoning.

It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the
night in a room with air-conditioner "ON".

Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle
can not fully oxidize & thus forms dangerous carbon-monoxide.

Carbon-monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs,
resulting in the person dozing off to a state of unconsciousness &
eventual death, in less than an hour, depending on the room size.

NO CELL PHONES AT HOSPITAL PLEASE

This real incident that happened in a local hospital in Bangalore.

A four year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture. As it was an open fracture, she had to undergo an operation to stitch the protruding bone back in place.

Though it was quite a minor operation, she was hooked on to a life support system, as a part of the process. The doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different conditions.

Thereafter, the operation proceeded. Half way through the process, the life support system suddenly went dead.

The culprit: "Someone was using his/ her mobile phone outside the operation theatre. And the frequency had affected the system. They tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and innocent as she was, died soon after. Sad to say, she was the only child.

Message :- Be compassionate! Do not use your mobiles Specially at any hospitals or within the Aircraft or any places where you are told not

to use it. You might not be caught in the act, but you might have killed someone without knowing.

Sometimes it's a matter of Life & Death....!!!!
