The narrative then unfolds within the confines of the ICU, where Dr. Hemant Waghmare, an expert in Internal Medicine, took charge. Ventilator support became the lifeline, and a dedicated team, including Dr. Aves Hasan (Medical Officer) and nurses Sr. Prachita, Sr. Jaya, and Sr. Rimeshwari, collaborated seamlessly during this critical juncture. The administration of Anti-Snake Venom (ASV) commenced promptly, accompanied by a strategic protocol of supportive treatments. Under the meticulous care of Dr. Rajesh Atal, Senior Critical Care Physician, the patient emerged victorious, returning to duty without the haunting shadows of neurological deficits or sequelae from the venomous encounter.
Shri. Jitender Singh Rathore, Deputy Commandant, CISF (ASG) Nagpur, expressed heartfelt gratitude, lauding Team Orange City Hospital for their unwavering service to CISF officers and their families. Shri. Suresh Thorat, CHM CISF, paid a visit, extending appreciation to the Emergency Care Team for their swift and timely management.
