Sonu Sood’s Next Mission: Knee Replacement For The Aged

No doubt Sonu Sood  is  the  Indian of  the year 2020. And here’s why:  he  genuinely cares for  the needy and  the  distressed. Sonu’s next big project is to  facilitate  optimum knee-replacement surgeries among the aged, as he feel that to be one  neglected area of medical attention.

Says  Sonu,  “It is felt that  the aged don’t need  medical attention unless it’s a life-threatening illness. People tell me, ‘Why  concentrate  on  knee replacement for the old when you can use  the same resources for heart  operations of babies?’. But my logic is simple:  your  parents taught  you to walk when  you were a toddler,  now  it’s  your turn to make sure they can walk.”

 Sonu feels the aged  are  often to  blame for their plight. “It’s not as  though all  children are  insensitive  to their parents’ needs. They  do come forward  to  offer knee surgery when their parents  need  it. Often it is the parents who dissuade their children from using money for  their surgery. The  children  ask a few times and  then use the  money for other needs. That’s how  the aged are neglected.  I want to optimize  knee surgery  for the aged.  They shouldn’t feel they are a  useless neglected  part of our society.In  2021 I want to make knee-transplant  surgery my  priority.”
