Hospital Personalities of the Year

Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapies

I’m lumping physical, speech and occupational therapy all into one big group here. For those of you who don’t know the difference, physical works with legs and backs, occupational with hands and arms, and speech with speech, swallowing and higher cognitive functions. These are the people to see if you have questions about whether something is safe, be it walking a patient or letting them eat on their own. These are also the people to watch when it comes to moving patients or assisting folks with everything from walking to speaking. Move like a physical therapist and you will never hurt your back.

    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.
