Meri Awaaz Suno

The ICU workstation is at its chaotic peak , during the morning hours . There are rounds , and rounds . Shifts are ending , routine beginning and the day has broken .

Some patients have improved , some deteriorated . For the teams taking rounds , their patient is of utmost importance . Gastroenterology , Gynaecology , nephrology , urology, neurology , all teams arrive , almost simultaneously .

Nursing staff is stretched in various directions . Instructions , instructions . Change in treatment, investigations , diet , physiotherapy .

Each team consists of at least 4-5 doctors .

One doctor stands out . Because of his height . I think his name is Amit. He is dark  and loud , and fat around the tummy.

"Meri awaaz suno . Madam !!"

Booming baritone. All are silenced . His instructions are heard clearly .

A moment later , heads swivel back , and chaotic conversation resumes . But Dr. Amit has made himself heard.
