Arun V J: Give Blood and Be the Hero You Always Wanted to Be
Arun V J, The Leader of Transfusion Medicine at Malabar Medical College, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”You’ve been waiting your whole life to be the hero.
As a kid, you watched them on screen.
The ones who showed up when nobody else could.
The ones who didn’t wait to be asked.
The ones who gave something of themselves – and changed everything.
You wanted to be that person.
You still do.
The real superheroes are lying on a recliner chair. Sleeve rolled up. 450ml lighter. Walking out the door like nothing happened.
Because to them, nothing did.
But somewhere – in an ICU, in an emergency room, in a labour ward at 2am – everything changed for someone else.
We wait until it’s personal.
Until it’s our mother on the table.
Until someone hands us a phone number and says – please, find blood.
And then we understand.
Don’t wait for that moment.
You already have the power. It’s running through your veins right now.
14 June. World Blood Donor Day.
One drop of humanity.
That’s all it takes.
Give blood. Be the hero you always wanted to be.
