00:00You see, we as a doctor, we as a hospital, we are supposed to give life.
00:04If we cannot give them oxygen even, what is the situation?
00:07When patient comes to us, patient will die.
00:10Patient...
00:12patient will die.
00:30You see, we as a doctor, we as a hospital, we are supposed to give life.
00:34If we cannot give them oxygen even, what is the situation?
00:37When patient comes to us, patient will die.
00:40Patient...
00:42patient will die.
00:44Patient will die.
00:46Patient will die.
00:48Patient will die.
00:50Patient will die.
00:52Patient will die.
00:54Patient will die.
00:56Patient will die.
00:58Patient will die.
01:02Patient will die.
01:04Patient will die.
01:06Patient will die.
01:08What would I do with the oxygen if it is not given in time?
01:12What face I will show to God,
01:14if my patient dies?
01:16What do I tell people? I could not give you oxygen.
01:19Now what we have done is,
01:21whatever volume of oxygen we are giving,
01:24we have tried to little tweak it,
01:26so that it can last more.
01:28Hardly, if at all something is there, it may be 2 hours or something.
01:32Sir, how many patients you have?
01:35How many...
01:36110 patients on oxygen.
01:38How many people are on ventilator and ICU?
01:40There are about 12 patients which are on ventilator and YPAP.
01:44There are 85 patients which are more than 5 liters per minute oxygen supply.
01:51There are other people, they are also there.
01:53There are cancer patients, there are cardiac patients.
01:55And ultimately,
01:57it will be a very deplorable condition,
02:01very unfortunate condition.
02:03We probably, you see,
02:05we as a doctor, we as a hospital,
02:07we are supposed to give life.
02:09If we cannot give them oxygen even,
02:11what is the situation?
02:13When patient comes to us, patient will die.
02:15Patient...
02:17Patient will die.
02:19So sir, any help you have got from Delhi?
02:23We...
02:25They are trying to help but there is no oxygen, sir.
02:27There is no oxygen. We know this.
02:29We know, everybody knows this.
02:31Even government is trying to help us.
02:33But ultimately,
02:35oxygen is to be generated and to supply it.
02:39So sir, is there any solution you have figured out or there is nothing so far?
02:45No, I think as our Honorable Prime Minister said,
02:49other people are also saying,
02:51the court has ordered,
02:53to divert the industrial oxygen and send it here.
02:55And it should be done.
02:57It cannot be moved like a file.
02:59It has to come like this.
03:01Come like oxygen.
03:03The speed of the air.
03:05What would I do with the oxygen if it is not given in time?
03:09What face I will show to God
03:11if my patient dies?
03:13What do I tell people?
03:15I could not give you oxygen.
03:17I don't produce oxygen.
03:19The oxygen I am producing,
03:21I have the best oxygen generator with me.
03:23Which produces 125 D-type cylinders.
03:29My friends in the group,
03:31they have requested,
03:33they have spread a message
03:35that Shantimganj is in distress.
03:37Give them two cylinders.
03:39I am getting phone calls
03:41that you have sent it.
03:43We will give you two cylinders.
03:45How many cylinders will I have?
03:47You are saying that
03:49maximum oxygen will be left for two hours.
03:51Sir, please understand.
03:53I am humbly requesting you.
03:55I have no complaints from anyone.
03:57I need oxygen.
03:59That's why I am requesting my doctors
04:01to discharge the patients who can be discharged.
04:03Those who can go somewhere else,
04:05the surgeries have been cancelled.
04:07Those who have cylinders,
04:09I have taken them to the bedside.
04:11This stop will not last.
04:13This stop will not last.
04:15This stop will not last.
04:17I need help.
