On March 8, 98-year-old Sion resident Shantilal Vora suddenly felt immense pain in his abdomen and was unable to breathe. As it turned out, he had a kidney ailment and had to undergo surgery. According to doctors undergoing the procedure at such an age was risky and if a person has co-morbidities, the risk is much higher. However, it was Vora`s sheer willpower to survive and trust in doctors which make the surgery successful. According to the Urological Society of India, Vora is the oldest person in India to undergo renal stone removal surgery.
“He was in immense pain but was not scared about going under the knife. He always tells us that he wants to live life to the fullest,” said Bhadra Vora, Shantilal’s daughter-in-law.
