A doctor was doing heart surgery on a young six year old girl, when the electricity went out. Luckily this hospital has a generator that turns on right after the electricity goes out. The girl had a whole in her heart that the doctor was working on, but after the generator kick on and the lights came back on he sealed it up. The girl healed fine and went home the next day. In Tanzania this doctor is the only heart surgeon who knows how to do heart surgery on younger kids. Do you think all hospitals should have a generator? What do you think about this story?

Well done Samantha!
It would be a very smart idea to keep a backup generator in every hospital just in case something like this happens. It could end up saving many lives in the long run.
Yes, it is smart to have generators so that nothing bad happens. If something horrible happens during a power outage i'm sure the hospital would feel really bad.
It something happened to this girl I think the hospital would have felt horrible.
I have heard stuff about situation like this before, it is important for hospitals to have generators. All hospitals should for stuff just like this. It was a good thing this hospital had one so that the surgery went well.
Yes, i'm glad the girl made it out fine and is now healing.
I think that all hospitals should have at least one generator, you never know if only one can handle all of the power that is needed in a hospital. I am glad that the surgeon was able to successfully complete the operation and was able to save the life of that little girl.
If they get a generator which they should it should be a big enough generator for the hospital.
Thank goodness they had a generator, and yes I do think that every hospital should have one.
Yes, every hospital should have one if not something horrible could happen. Then the hospital would feel horrible.
