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.

02:05we as a doctor, we as a hospital,

02:07we are supposed to give life.

02:09If we cannot give them oxygen even,

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.
