Little did the parents of 26-year-old Chaitra K.R. in Kodicheruvu at Srinivasapura taluk in Kolar district expect the tragic turn of events on her wedding reception day. She collapsed on the stage during the reception on February 6 and was taken to NIMHANS the following day. Doctors said she had suffered a brain stem stroke and declared her clinically brain dead on February 10.
Amidst such grief, her parents were generous enough to donate her vital organs and the retrieval was done at NIMHANS on February 11. This was the first multi-organ retrieval done at NIMHANS.
