Daltonganj, Oct 25: The 90 admitted patients in various wards of the MMCH Daltonganj had a surprise Diwali gift. It was laddoos for the patients and their attendants.
This initiative was of the civil surgeon Palamu Dr Vijay Kumar Singh. Speaking to lagatar24.com Dr Singh said, “We decided to give our admitted patients some meetha (sweet) to make them feel the doctors do not give bitter pills only but sweets also. We wanted them to feel at home also.”
Dr Vijay Kumar Singh deputed one noted physician Dr R K Ranjan to get this Diwali laddoo given away to the admitted patients and their attendants.
Dr Ranjan said, “We along with pharmacist Satender Kumar, ANMs Kajal, Madhuri, K P Tigga, Sarita and some trainee ANMs went around different wards of the MMCH and gave patients/attendants our token of love and care. The recipients were too overwhelmed to see us bringing in laddoos for them. Some became emotional too to have it saying they had never thought of this.”
Sources said this novel mini Diwali gift to patients and their attendants in the MMCH Daltonganj is being seen as a refreshing act to bridge the gap between the doctors and the patients.
