KOTTAYAM: Snake catcher Vava Suresh who was admitted to the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH) here after being bitten by a cobra on January 31, left for his home in Thiruvananthapuram after his discharge from hospital on Monday. Suresh thanked the doctors and other staff at the MCH, minister V N Vasavan and well-wishers across the globe who prayed for his speedy recovery.
Suresh told reporters while leaving the hospital that Vasavan is a God-like figure for him. "Vasavan sir arrived quickly at the private hospital where I was initially admitted. He made all arrangements to shift me to the MCH without any delay. It would be the first time a vehicle of a minister went as a pilot vehicle for a common man," said Suresh. He also said that Vasavan had literally "arrested" him and put him in the critical care ICU of the MCH.
