ACTRESS -LATE NARGIS

My hope(of your arrival) is in agony, please come now

Now the night has almost passed(waiting for you)

  I am crying here why are you quiet there(you have not come)

The night has almost passed(waiting for you)

The beauty of the moon is ebbing

The stars are heartbroken

  This is a painful restless time
 Where is this night, like a bride, departing in a vehicle of the moon Please call out to me, where are you?The eyes are upset and tired waiting for you
My fate is almost asleep(waiting for you)  You are not coming, where should I go or what should I do?

US And Sri Lankan Surgeons Performed A Gall Bladder Removal Surgery Successfully In The World's Largest Hospital Ship "USNS Mercy "

“This was the first time I have ever operated aboard a ship,” said Dr. Vyramuthu Varanitharan, a general surgeon at Base Hospital Mutur.  “It is very stable and doesn’t move around.  It felt as if I was doing surgery in an operating room in a hospital.  It was a fantastic experience to have been able to do surgery on a hospital ship and it is something my team and I will never forget.” 

Dr. Vyramuthu has revealed this after the U.S. and Sri Lankan surgeons conducting  the first ever robot-assisted surgery aboard the USNS Mercy on May 4.  The joint team of multinational surgeons and medical professionals successfully completed a cholecystectomy, or gall bladder removal, on a Sri Lankan citizen using a Da Vinci XI Robot Surgical System.

“This landmark surgery advances the boundaries of what is possible through collaboration, skill, and technology,” said U.S. Ambassador to Sri Lanka and the Maldives Atul Keshap.  “We are proud to partner with Sri Lankan medical professionals on this ground-breaking achievement for the international medical field.”

Intensive planning and preparation resulted in a smooth and routine surgery.  After the successful completion of the surgery, the patient transferred to the Mercy’s post-anesthesia care unit to recover and was later discharged from the ship in excellent condition for routine post-operative follow up care by Dr. Varanitharan.
