A pediatrician from Wiesbaden delights Internet users with a privately recorded video! Thumbs up!
Mario Berwald is a pediatrician at the Helios Dr. Horst Schmidt Clinics (HSK) in Wiesbaden and has been caring for seriously ill four-year-old Gerrit for weeks. He suffers from a very rare genetic defect (MOPD type 1) and was admitted to hospital as an emergency four and a half weeks ago with flu.
The boy fought for his life in the intensive care unit for a long time and was looked after by Mario Berwald, especially at night. And then he made a decision:
“There was a situation in which I had to give him another access and a few attempts were necessary. I promised: When he gets better, I will dance for him."
he told the Wiesbadener Kurier .
And Gerrit felt better again! The heartbreaking result of that promise was captured by stepfather Steven Richter. It now inspires countless people on the Internet and, with over a million views, even exceeds the expectations of little Gerrit's parents.
Because they posted the video online on the Facebook page “ Our Little Hero/Gerrit's World ”, where it quickly went viral:
The pediatrician was active in the CG 1844 Dornheim dance sports club for a long time and danced in the First Bundesliga. However, when he trained as an intensive care and neonatal doctor, there was no more time for dancing. In any case, the viral hit had a consistently positive impact on the family, as they not only received a lot of support, but also press inquiries and offers of donations.
The internet, on the other hand, could definitely use more of these wonderful videos!
