 A Mongolian man living in
a rural United States community was able to help his brother come to
the U.S. to receive life-saving surgery.
Otgon Dagvadorj had been left
paralyzed following an auto accident nine years ago in Mongolia. He
is now confined to a wheelchair.
His brother, Joe Dagvadorj,
owns a restaurant in the U.S. in Hendricks County, Indiana. According
to Joe Dagvadorj, his brother developed a breathing problem last year.
A spinal x-ray showed spinal fluid building up as a cyst.
After being examined by Chinese
doctors, Otgon Dagvadorj was told nothing could be done for him and
there was no hope for his survival.
In the U.S., Joe Dagvadorj
mentioned his brother’s case to one of his restaurant’s regular
customers, Dr. Terry Trammel.
Trammel and fellow doctor’s
reviewed Otgon Dagvadorj’s medical records and decided they could
help. They applied for a medical visa for the Mongolian man. After one
year the visa was received and Otgon Dagvadorj was brought to Indiana
for surgery.
"It was apparent right
away that he was going to die," Trammel told WTHR television station
in Indiana. "This was the right thing to do and we had a chance
to change a life.”
Otgon Dagvadorj has recovered
to the point where he will be returning to Mongolia in January.
Additionally, while in the
United States he has begun learning to walk again. Doctors are confident
that he may regain use of his legs in the future.
