An Icebox, a Live Heart and the Man Who Drove and Drove : Journey of a Heart Transplant

From hospital to hospital, a 45-minute ride completed in 13 crazy minutes. A few weeks ago, Chennai traffic came to a standstill to allow a donor heart to reach a dying young woman for an urgent transplant. As families, doctors and cops waited with bated breath, this is what went down inside that wailing ambulance.

When the ambulance left the government hospital police had activated a Green Corridor – an open route without blocks or slow-moving traffic and where all traffic signals are green. This is done exclusively for medical emergencies.
