Manik pov


As I woke up to the sound of my alarm, I was greeted by a familiar voice saying, "Good morning, have a nice day." It was a recording made by my dear brother before he left for Delhi to prepare for his UPSC exams. He had thoughtfully recorded the message to ensure I started my day on a positive note.

I began my morning routine, getting ready for another busy day at work. Yesterday, I had taken a well-deserved break to spend quality time with my parents, making up for lost time due to my hectic schedule last month.

Today, I had an early start, heading to the hospital to discuss a critical surgery with my team. As I entered the kitchen, I was enveloped in the warm aroma of freshly cooked food. I hugged my mom and wished her a good morning. "What's for breakfast today, Mom?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.

"Good morning, Manik. I've made your favorite aloo paratha," she replied with a smile.

We sat down in the dining hall, and my mom asked, "Is Dev back from his leave?"

"Yes, he is," I replied, taking a bite of the paratha.

My mom mentioned that she planned to invite Dev and Sonakshi for lunch on Sunday. As she served me another paratha, I jokingly complained, "Mom, I'm full. Why are you adding another paratha to my plate?"

My dad walked in, teasing me about sulking like a child. We shared a hearty laugh, and I bid them farewell, heading out the door.

As I drove to the hospital, I waited at a traffic signal. Beside me was an autorickshaw carrying school kids, their bright smiles and cheerful waves infectious.

The signal turned green, and I started driving. Suddenly, a car sped towards the autorickshaw, hitting it right before my eyes. The auto rolled three times, and the kids were thrown out onto the road.

I rushed towards them, my heart racing with concern. The traffic police arrived promptly, and we worked together to assist the injured children. Three of them had fractures and broken ribs, but fortunately, they were stable. The auto driver had a head injury, but it wasn't severe.

The traffic police called me to the divider, where I found a kid, around six or seven years old, with a head injury from hitting the divider. I quickly applied pressure to the wound, but he was losing blood fast. I yelled for someone to call an ambulance.

As the ambulance arrived, I carefully lifted the kid and rushed him to the hospital. It was the same hospital where I worked. Dr. Yash's team took the kid to the emergency OP, and I provided them with the necessary information.

Dr. Yash asked if I was okay, noticing my blood-stained shirt. I assured him I was fine, but the kid had lost a lot of blood. We managed to stabilize him, and Dr. Yash's team took him in for surgery.

As I watched the kid being wheeled away, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. It had been a chaotic morning, but I was grateful that I had been there to help.
Here's the rewritten text with corrected grammar and improved English:

As we rushed into the operating theater, I assessed the situation. The young boy had sustained a severe head injury, and his rare blood type, AB-negative, posed a significant challenge. Our hospital was facing a blood shortage, and I explained the gravity of the situation to Yash.

We swiftly changed into sterilized attire, scrubbed our hands, and donned surgical gloves. As we entered the operating area, Dev administered anesthesia to the patient. Our neurologist, Dr. Arvind, and I began the delicate head surgery.

Just as we were midway through the procedure, a nurse burst in, informing us that only one unit of AB-negative blood was available in the hospital. We urgently needed more, but it would take time to procure it from external sources. I quickly thought of Navya, knowing her blood type matched the patient's. We called her into the operating theater and explained the situation. Without hesitation, she agreed to donate her blood.

As Navya left with the nurse to donate blood, I noticed the patient's leg beginning to swell. We immediately summoned Abhi and Dhruv to the operating theater. Abhi examined the leg and confirmed that the femur was fractured. However, Dhruv advised us to postpone the leg surgery, as the patient couldn't withstand two operations simultaneously.

We completed the head surgery, and the patient was temporarily out of danger. However, we still needed to conduct further tests to assess any internal injuries. Abhi planned to perform an X-ray on the patient's leg to determine the best course of action. If possible, he aimed to operate on the leg the following day, as delaying the surgery could lead to infection.

As we exited the operating theater, we informed the staff to transfer the patient to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU). Dhruv accompanied the patient, as the case fell under pediatrics. We then proceeded to the waiting area, where the patient's parents were anxiously waiting.

Upon seeing us, they rushed towards us, bombarding us with questions about their child's condition. Yash calmly addressed their concerns, explaining that the patient, Ved, was currently stable but required further testing and observation. We informed them about the successful head surgery and the planned leg surgery for the following day.

Ved's father inquired about the medical expenses, and Dr. Arvind reassured them that the Akshar Trust would cover the costs, including room charges and medical bills. We advised them to focus on supporting their child during this challenging time.

As we concluded our conversation with the parents, we decided to take a much-needed break and grabbed a cup of coffee from the canteen.
