Hospital Personalities of the Year

I would also mention among the hospital personalities of the year, Dr K Bharadhwaj from the Government Kilpauk Medical College and Hospital, where a freak fire accident killed three patients last week. Dr. Bharadhwaj said that a busy night in the ward had prevented them from noticing the fire, which is believed to have originated from the air conditioner above the Skytron table in the operating room. He first ensured all those who were able to walk were safely shifted from the ward and then returned to the smoke-filled room and tried to save Krishna Bai but it was too late. He acted like a hero and a doctor at the same time and I think he deserves our praise.
