Why Cristiano Ronaldo Refuses Tattoos On His Body?

Do you want to be like Cristiano Ronaldo?

For those of who do not know him, he is a legendary footballer, arguably the finest of the present generation. He plays for his national team of Portugal and franchise team of Real Madrid. He is a natural athlete and is among the top goal scorers for their national sides.

But something else makes him great too, he does not sport a tattoo on his body. When most athletes of today, be it – Football, Cricket or Basketball, are in the habit of sporting tattoos to celebrate their wins, pay tribute to their family and closed ones or just as to express their personality. We have seen Virat, Beckham and many more sports tattoos on their bodies.

But Ronaldo refrains from this habit of getting inked by not having tattoos decorating his body. Ronaldo is a hero on the field as well as off it, he donates blood very often and inspires his fans to follow suit.

If you are wondering, what is the connection between blood donation and Ronaldo not getting inked?

Most blood banks do not accept the blood donation from people who have had a tattoo, solely because they could have been infected with either Hepatitis B or HIV with unscientifically handled needles.

If you do have a tattoo, does that bar anyone from blood donation?

In the broader sense, there is not a ban but blood banks prefer a passage of six months to one year to allow them to donate again.

Give mankind the greatest gift. Donate blood!!

Millions of people owe their lives to people whom they will never know or meet in their lifetime. They are none other than those people, who have donated their blood freely and without any reward – voluntary blood donors. Voluntary unpaid donors are the foundation of a safe blood supply which saves millions of human beings from the jaws of untimely death. We need to extend a hearty appreciation to these unsung heroes who give the precious gift of life to mankind.

It is said that India will have the youngest population in the near future aged between 18-35 years. This would give India the opportunity to lead the world. But we also want this new young generation to be healthy for which it is our prime responsibility today to ensure that we fulfill our duties in contributing towards health care. Just as an individual has the responsibility towards his nation, business organization and family, similarly one also has to fulfill his responsibility towards the society.

Business organizations and individuals adopt various measures like charity, donations, scholarships and sponsorships to their community, NGO’s etc. But one of the simplest and easiest methods to fulfill this social responsibility is to donate blood to save the lives of others.

Real bliss can be achieved through love, fellowship, selfless service and sacrifice, and not by amassing wealth alone. One must try to donate blood and see what joy, happiness and satisfaction one will experience at the mere thought that this gesture may save somebody’s life one day. Motivate the people to donate blood.

The operator/first responder might explain how to do CPR if the victim is unconscious, while help is on arrival. For example, he can instruct you first aid, or how to help a choking victim guide you on how to stop nose bleeding.

5. Know your local medical emergency number: The emergency number depends on the country that you are living in. So you should know the local emergency number memorized. The Emergency Ambulance number in Bangalore, India is 9343180000 & 108.

How VMEDO saved 10 days premature baby’s life

There is no bigger joy than being proud parents. Holding their bundle of joy in their hands is every parent’s dream. But sometimes circumstances change and every one of these joys can come into question.

A premature baby was born to a couple and they soon found out that they could very much not afford to stay and take care of their baby there. A premature baby needs to be kept on constant vigilance.

The parents were faced with the rather helpless situation, a private hospital and its bills that they could not afford and the risk of moving their premature baby to another place in the city. They reached out to various people in trying to arrange for inter-facility transportation or a neonatal ambulance that comes equipped with all the necessary medical equipment that can ensure a safe transportation of the premature babies. But to add to their woes they could not find any ambulance that day that could cater to the baby’s needs.

When their frantic cries of help reached VMEDO, they tried their best to arrange for a neonatal ambulance that could aid them in their inter facility transportation but could not arrange for one.

The helpless cries of the parents prompted VMEDO to check for other options that were wrought with risk. There was still light at the end of the tunnel for the couple and their baby as the VMEDO team consulted with an experienced doctor about the case and when he examined the condition of the baby, he suggested that it was still possible that the baby could be transported to another facility using an ambulance but using an AMBU bag to aid its breathing in the interim but also informed that such a procedure was indeed risky.

It was indeed a risky transportation but VMEDO team put together an experienced doctor and a trained paramedic and in the relative safety of the night were able to transport the premature baby to another hospital by effectively using the AMBU bag as a mechanical ventilator throughout the journey. The ambulance was instructed to drive very slowly and after a two-hour ordeal they did so, with the premature baby safe and sound.

In view of the financial conditions of the parents, VMEDO charged a very nominal fee to aid in this inter-facility transportation, that was successful even though it was wrought with risk and danger.

This certainly brought a smile of happiness on the parents and also on the VMEDO team.
