A 32 year old man , who had allegedly been shot at point blank range by a friend , was saved by doctors at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
“During the peak of COVID 19 pandemic we received young man with bullet injury (shot point blank). The patient was having internal bleeding with damage to liver, stomach, intestine and kidney. We started surgery at midnight and after 8 hours of surgery wearing PPE kits and surgical gowns, we were able to save the patient. The patient is back home and totally well, said Dr Ushast Dhir, Consultant, Dept of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplantation, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi., who was also the surgeon.

Surgeries have become more complicated, but our teams have been handling every critical case with the same priority as the viral disease, said a doctor.
