Hospital Personalities of the Year

The Patients
Remember the people in the hospital gowns and sweats? The folks who walk the halls with varying degrees of speed and with varying levels of assistance? The ones in the bed and on the OR tables?
Some of them are marvelous people; some of them are complete jerks. Just being sick does not make a person a saint. Some of them we’ll all remember for years after they leave; others we’ll forget as soon as we punch out tonight. Some are challenging in less pleasant ways than others. They’re all ages, from newborn to over 100; they’re all colors and both sexes.
They’re each a person, an individual, who somebody loves or has loved. They’re all capable of hurting and being scared. They’re all able to heal, at least to some degree. And they’re all, separately and together, the reason the rest of us on this list show up to work.

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.
