That Sinking Feeling

1
Hello!
Hello, Ananya?!
Oh, shit!
Move!
Help!
Shit!
- Kaushik, wait. What happened?
- Ananya is trapped.
- I thought she was on her way to Pune.
- Yes, she was, but due to bad weather,
she decided to return,
and now I can't get through to her.
Last she was at Sion Circle.
Now I don't know!
- Did you call her driver?
- I did.
Last when I spoke, she was screaming
in pain I don't know what to do.
- I need to find her.
- Don't worry, you'll get to her.
I'll arrange for an ambulance.
- And you know, Ananya is a fighter
- Due to heavy rains
- She will be alright.
- Bus and train services
in Mumbai have been canceled.
Due to rising water levels, manholes
and potholed roads are
turning into death traps.
IMD has issued a red alert.
We request everyone to remain indoors
and stay safe.
IMD has also stated that
What is wrong with the two of you?
Creating a scene!
Am I creating a scene?
Didn't you hear Mrs. Kelkar?
I have reduced her life
to mere ratings. I?
Funny, how she gets it,
but as a star anchor,
you don't know how the business runs.
Stop being so condescending.
How can you say such things?
Because, Mansi, I'm excellent at my job.
And it's high fucking time,
that you start doing yours.
So, you're fond of causes.
So here
a list of corrupt builders of the city.
Mumbai is wrecked because of them.
Now that is a story.
Your next big story.
Plastic won't be able to contain it.
Ask Chandrakant and Tiwari
to shift the supplies.
Vidya.
- Vidya.
- Yes.
Call Chandrakant and
Tiwari to shift the supplies.
- It's all getting wet.
- Yes, I'll inform.
Did you call me, ma'am?
Mangesh. How many boxes of amoxicillin
did you receive on Monday?
I've got the list.
My nurses have used 105 boxes,
so how many are left?
And in the store room?
Not a single left.
And the rest 15 boxes?
Maybe your nurse
didn't issue the chalan.
It isn't a dessert,
- that I'd take the pieces back home.
- Hey!
Don't worry about my nurses.
I'm the one who makes the chalan.
Did you count the boxes while delivering?
You didn't, right?
Because you don't keep a tab
while delivering,
it's easily accessible
on the black market.
Don't you watch the news?!
You've seen it, right?
Sorry, ma'am. Sorry.
Giving me the accounts!
Let's go.
Come.
- Cherian ma'am.
- Yes.
Chandrakant and Tiwari
need to be called.
Yes.
Keys?
His ICP is rising rapidly, sir.
The ICU care will not suffice.
Thanks, Sujata,
for traumatic brain injury 101.
Apart from advising me,
if you have any other work,
please work on it. The hospital is packed.
Dr. Wadia is on his way.
What do you mean
Dr. Wadia is on his way?
Saba is short of time.
- If needed, I can consult Dr. Oberoi.
- Dr. Oberoi has left.
I am your reporting doctor for now,
and maybe in the future too.
What?
You're asking?
I thought you were a smart girl, Sujata.
The final hearing of the case
is on the 31st.
Good.
Now, get used to clear-cut instructions.
You go back to the ER,
and Saba has been transferred
to the Neuro Department.
- Sir, I was just
- Does it look like I'm interested?
- Dr. Wadia is on his way
- What you said in the morgue
was it true?
Could Farzana have been saved?
Sir
All our attention is on Saba.
She has been stabilized.
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault.
- Roads are quite bad
- Had to take Saba to the doctor.
Farzana kept insisting.
I never paid heed.
Doctor?
Why?
She was suffering from a fever for a week.
I assumed it was the change of weather
- because
- Just a moment. Wait a minute, sir.
Saba
What is it, Doctor?
Just a minute.
Raman.
Come here.
Saba had a fever.
Is it mentioned in the report?
What?
Have you mentioned that Saba
had a fever since the last week?
Actually, I
Don't blabber.
- Isn't this your signature?
- Yes
Show me her health status
for the last three to five days.
It's not her fault.
I was overseeing the reports.
Hima was just sent to sign off.
I'm so stressed since this morning,
I must have missed the fever.
Check for encephalitis.
Update me as soon as it's done.
- And you, come along with me.
- Yes.
Excuse me.
This is Farzana's report.
Everyone has signed it, okay?
Dr. Parekh.
Thank you.
It's okay.
We all mess up from time to time.
It's fine.
They don't have it. I asked,
they don't even have a Ration Card.
They don't even have an Aadhar Card.
What can I do?
Okay fine.
- I'll ask.
- It's raining incessantly.
There is water logging all over Mumbai.
Ma'am, I did speak, but some
identification proof will be needed.
Hope you have the birth certificate.
Then how can I help you?
I am trying
Shit!
- Just a minute.
- Where's Patil?!
- Oh, shit!
- Are you alright?
- Hurry up!
- Are you alright?!
- Come here.
- Move!
- Oh, my God!
- Please move!
- Carefully. Slowly.
- Get someone, quick.
- Hey, you'll have to remove this.
- Please move!
- Hang on, guys.
- Please step away.
Are they alright? Take him
to the emergency room.
Take them to the OT immediately!
- We need to move this.
- Move it!
- Remove it from there.
- Careful.
- Move aside.
- Pick him up.
Are they alright?
Pick him up! Bring the stretcher.
Get a stretcher. Pick him up!
- Careful. Are you fine?
- Come with me.
- Be careful. Slowly.
- I really don't understand.
Watch your step.
Vidya, will you be able to manage?
- Yes.
- Take him straight to the ER.
Excuse me.
Excuse me. One minute.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
One minute.
Excuse me, please. Excuse me.
Shit!
Chitra.
Chitra. Are you in there?
Chitra.
Dr. Fredrick and his wife are here.
Chitra.
Are you doing this on purpose or what?
Chitra.
Chitra, come on. Open the door.
Chitra.
Are you doing it purposely?
Come out.
Hurry up and come out.
Chitra.
Just a minute.
Wait a moment.
Chitra.
Chitra, come on, open the door.
Chitra.
What happened?
Sorry.
- Sorry. I was
- What
I was waiting there, and you left.
They were throwing colors,
I didn't even go there.
- It's okay. It's alright.
- The colors fell on me
- I didn't even want to
- It's alright.
It's fine. I mean,
I know it's not your fault.
I know you didn't do it on purpose.
- You
- In fact, it's good that it has happened.
Why didn't you tell me about
Dr. Fredricks, that today is a big deal?
- It is not my fault.
- Listen to me,
if you don't play with vermilion on
this auspicious day, then when will you?
Yeah, it's fine.
Yeah.
Hang on. Wait.
Take this.
Is it okay?
Yeah, see.
- Come. Let's go and meet them.
- I'll just change
Let's go and meet them.
It's fine. It's absolutely fine.
Let's go.
Chitra ma'am.
Jadhav isn't giving clearance
to the burnt victim.
- If you could just check it once.
- Sure.
- Mr. Jadhav, right? Let's go.
- Yes.
- Not possible.
- Is this how you'll ask?
- Let him recover at least.
- I said, it's not possible.
- What's going on?
- Chitra ma'am, please.
Sandeep Raut's treatment
is still going on
- Did I stop the treatment?
- But
You mind your business,
and let me do my job.
There are special rules
for junkies at the hospital.
Chitra ma'am.
- Chitra ma'am, the treatment can't stop.
- Yeah.
Mr. Jadhav, if you judge the
patient here at Bombay General Hospital,
then we won't be able to work.
We can't be biased.
And he is here due
to an accident caused by
I'm not biased.
NDPS Act, are you aware of it?
I'll have to arrest him
if we find he is using drugs.
Mr. Jadhav, do what you feel is right,
as per your job.
I'm aware of my job and I know
that cops can't stop the treatment.
Listen, a drug test needs to be conducted.
And also, a policy inquiry.
I won't write the report without it.
And without the report, you guys
Dr. Parekh will submit
the drug report to you.
Thank you. You helped us a lot
by teaching our rules to us.
Okay.
Thank you.
Please put in the requisition
for the drug reports.
Yes, ma'am. I'll get it done.
- Ma'am, the short circuit
- Look, we'll have to report
about the drugs.
He was hurt because of the short circuit.
It was an accident drugs?
Maybe, but anyways, the treatment is on.
So, don't worry. I'll see what I can do.
Bahrain. Bahrain.
Varghese Auntie!
Hey.
Where is Varghese Auntie?
Auntie isn't home.
She has gone to the police station.
Police station?
Yeah, Cyril is missing since last night.
Poor woman was very tense.
Thank you.
Hey, get inside.
Keep watching TV the whole day.
Don't you have any work?
Come on, hurry up.
We'll keep you updated.
Stay tuned with News Today.
No, it's okay.
The number you're trying to call is busy.
Please try again
Give me two minutes, please.
- What is it?
- All good?
You seem to be in mourning.
Please, Sachin.
I'm already feeling like shit.
Yeah, you do feel shitty
when you are sick but refuse
to visit a doctor.
Okay, fine.
Did you call to say this?
No! Didn't I tell you that
my in-laws are arriving?
I am at Dadar station to receive them.
The train is delayed by two hours
due to excessive rain.
I accidentally informed Mallika.
She said, "Fuck, it's late by two hours?"
Why waste time, do some work instead.
So I'm working.
I'm shooting the B-Roll, bloody hell.
No, not you.
I feel like taking back
my wedding card from her.
Why are your in-laws coming so soon?
Soon?
It's my haldi ceremony tomorrow.
Wedding functions start tomorrow.
The wedding is in four days.
And you think it's early?
- Won't you come to my wedding?
- Yes, of course, I'll come.
I'll have to arrange for liquor
at your boring party.
Okay. Go and take care of your in-laws.
- I am fine.
- No, you are not.
Please visit a doctor.
- Bye.
- Okay, bye.
Yeah. Wait. It'll be done in two minutes.
Just give me a moment.
Ma'am! Sandeep Raut.
Where is Sandeep Raut?
Are you his relative?
Yes. I am Prashant, his dad.
He is at the Burns Unit.
Don't worry, your wife is with him.
Come with me.
Sandeep.
- My child
- No! Second-degree burns, don't touch.
Be careful.
What happened to him? How did it happen?
Ma'am, some of your details are missing.
Okay, I'll fill it up.
- Damini, just a moment.
- How did it happen?
They said he'll recover.
No need to get so upset.
But, how did it happen? What happened?
Your son was taking a shortcut.
Shortcut from where?
A short circuit occurred
in the colony's meter room.
A lot of water had accumulated there.
Wasn't he supposed to return
from the karate camp on Monday?
Why did he return soon?
Did anything happen to him?
Did anyone do something?
Use your brain where it's needed.
Check this form and give it to the nurse.
Take it.
I don't have a pen.
Here is the pen.
This is the form and that's the nurse.
Give it to the nurse station.
Fill it up.
Careful, it will get wet.
- Sister, the form?
- Yes?
Yeah, it's an admission form,
just help him with that.
- Okay.
- Thank you, Doctor.
- Even this what's this doing here?
- There's leakage.
And we are trying to fix the scaffolding,
that's here.
Chitra ma'am, at the general ward
patient allocation.
Chitra ma'am?
Just wait a minute. I have some work.
I'll be back. Carry on.
Okay.
Chitra ma'am!
Please come. Dr. Reid.
Please come. Please come.
Please, come.
Come.
This is Chitra Das.
Social Services Officer,
and the backbone
of our Bombay General Hospital.
And the heroine of 26/11.
I'm sorry. Hero of 26/11.
Please take a photo.
Group photo. Please come here.
Hey! Dr. Subramaniam. Please, come.
Come on, Madhu. Please, come
and stand here.
Stand here.
Take a good photo. Group photo.
Smile, please.
Go ahead and ask questions no.
You can ask questions.
Actually, I just need to have
a word with Dr. Chandra first.
Yes, of course.
Dr. Chandra,
can we just have a word outside?
Dr. Chandra and I were
actually in college together.
Friends from college.
- Right.
- Yeah. If you don't mind
Sure. Why not?
How did you find me?
Saurav?
Just try and believe me.
I didn't try to find you.
I had no idea that you are here.
And how would I know anyway? You
made it simply impossible to be found.
I am here because I've come
with this delegation.
And I'm exactly as shocked
to see you here.
Really?
Saurav, you expect me to believe that?
You have to believe me. Really!
I wasn't even supposed to be here.
Dr. Abbot canceled and
I was called at the last minute.
Last minute? You?
You never do anything at the last minute.
I have changed, Chitra.
At least, I'm trying to change myself.
I've been taking therapy.
What?
I knew you wouldn't believe me but I am.
Today I understand how I was.
What I did to you.
I'm surprised you never got me arrested.
I wish I had.
I know you're never gonna forgive me.
- Chitra
- Let's go. Come.
- You have to believe me.
- Come on. Go down.
Come on.
Straight. The bus is outside.
Yes. Leave.
Well, then
- Come on.
- It was really nice meeting you, Chitra.
Fast.
- Chandra, the bus is waiting.
- I mean it. Yeah.
What is this, Madhu?
Also
Happy birthday!
Sir! Please. Please wait, sir.
- Wait, sir.
- Is it urgent, Sujata?
Sir, Saba Rahimtullah
the road accident patient.
Her ICP has shot up, sir,
and after a CSF examination,
we have found encephalitis.
Did you inform Dr. Wadia?
Sir, Dr. Wadia is stuck in traffic,
and Dr. Romani
- Romani.
- Yes, sir.
- What is the update on the TBI patient?
- Saba Rahimtullah?
- Yes, apparently she has encephalitis.
- How do you know?
Dr. Ajawale is in front
of me with the report.
Dr. Sujata should leave
neurology patients to Dr. Wadia.
Yes, I agree. She should leave
neurology patients to Dr. Wadia
and attend to the madness in the ER.
I'll ask her to come to you.
Sir, please. We don't have time.
- Please take a look
- Sujata
logistics management is not part
of your job profile.
Your duty is in the ER.
- Please go there.
- But, sir
- please take a look at the reports.
- Enough!
Sujata, I need you to behave like
a senior resident, not like a rookie.
Please go to the ER.
Sir
Madhu. Come here.
Madhu.
Move, bro.
Dr. Clarke and Dr. Chandra
are staying back.
Staying back?
They want to help out,
given the constant inflow of patients.
Yes. And it'll give us an opportunity to
gain some insights for our case study.
Of course.
Yogesh, excuse us.
Of course.
Thank you for joining us. I'm sure
we'll learn a lot from your experience.
Do you see the condition
of the hospital?
The construction never seems to end.
There is flooding
everywhere in the hospital.
Add to it all these crowds
and our limited resources.
They will write it all in their report.
Don't give me that crap.
These whites are very enthusiastic, Madhu.
They think this is a movie.
That's the reason they are visiting.
I'm not so sure about this.
Do they have temporary registration?
Can they practice here?
It has to be done.
- What is wrong with you, Yogesh?
- It has to be done, Madhu.
You already know Dr. Chandra, right?
Try to get him to filter his observations.
Please.
How? How will they
filter their observations?
You can do it.
Do I blindfold them?
Kaushik.
- Hey!
- Kaushik!
- Have you spoken to Ananya?
- Let's go.
I haven't talked to anyone.
I can't get through to anyone.
I can't get through Ananya's phone,
her driver's, her mom's, or Sahil's.
I can't get through to anyone.
I'm actually stuck
outside the hospital.
There's too much chaos.
There's too much traffic.
- Don't worry.
- Madhu! Come to the back door!
You will get there.
She's not far from here.
Listen, hello? I called to say
you know the CMO of DAV Hospital, right?
The one in Sion.
If she arrives there,
he will immediately call me.
You take care
and call me when you find her.
Thanks, I will.
Ananya, where are you?
Shit.
Shit.
Ananya.
Ahaan.
- Ahaan.
- Yeah?
All the dengue tests are negative.
All 14?
So, it's not even dengue.
- Okay.
- Ahaan!
Ahaan!
Sorry
Sir, Dr. Subramaniam is looking for you.
- Sure.
- Come there, okay?
Vidya, monitor them and see
if they develop any other symptoms.
- Okay.
- Whatever happens, at least we tried.
Let's see.
Yes, sir.
Sir. Please try to understand me, sir.
I want nothing more than your
permission to perform a craniectomy.
Take a look at her reports.
Her hematoma is growing rapidly, sir.
We have to do something about it.
- She wants to do a craniectomy?
- Yes.
Has she gone crazy?
Is everybody working
in the ER going insane?
- Sir
- Sujata, why don't you understand?
I used to be a neurosurgeon
before I was promoted
to this fantastic job.
- But, sir, her clot
- I know the consequences of a clot,
but you don't understand
the consequences of not going to the ER.
- Sir
- This is not your case anymore!
Just go back and do your job!
- Sir, please
- Dr. Chandra.
- You, wait.
- Sir, this
- Ahaan, this is Dr. Saurav Chandra
- Yes, sir.
And Dr. Clarke.
They have graciously
offered to stay back and
help us in dealing with this chaos.
Actually, not really,
we're just doing our job.
So, introduce them to Mrs. Cherian and
- get them acquainted with the hospital.
- Sure, sir. I can do that.
No need, Romani. I want someone
to personally accompany them.
So, Ahaan, make sure that
you stay with him all the time.
Sure, sir.
- Ahaan?
- Ahaan Mirza, sir. Dr. Ahaan Mirza.
Dr. Mirza, it's really nice meeting you.
Nice to meet you, sir. Please come.
Nurse! What's happening?
- Doctor!
- Please, sir.
- Let me handle the situation.
- Get back, please. stay calm.
Get a grip.
This seems like delayed neurological
effects of the electrocution
memory loss, visuospatial effects.
- Plus it could be nerve damage, right?
- Yes.
Where is diazepam?
Wait. One second.
Wait. Sister, have the blood
and GCMS results come in?
- Yes, doctor.
- Give it to me urgently.
- Why GCMS?
- General screening test was prescribed.
OPI has been detected in urine,
so GCMS, just for confirmation.
He's been using heroin. It's withdrawal.
Damini, start with levetiracetam.
Let the seizure subside and then give
him a normal dose of diazepam, okay?
- Continue to monitor his blood pressure.
- Okay.
What is wrong with you people?
- Couldn't you give us
- Hima!
Such simple information?
Couldn't you inform us
that your son is an addict?
- Hima!
- I would have been blamed
if something had gone wrong.
Hima! Could you administer
the doses, please?!
Actually, she means to say
it is critical to know
the patient's medical history.
The entire line of treatment
is based on medical history. Please.
If there's anything else that
we should know, please tell me. Please.
Any medication, supplement, anything?
We're very sorry, doctor. I
Actually, we are unaware.
Shaalu! Shaalu!
He doesn't have any
other medical problems.
Trust me.
Please, excuse me.
- Please don't
- Shaalu
Calm down.
Please don't ask me when
your fair-haired boy relapsed.
I have a million chores to do
besides tending to your son.
Shaalu
For many days now, I noticed
he has been behaving differently.
Why did you have to enroll him
in the karate camp?
You criticize him
over every little thing.
I have to criticize
him over every little thing.
Shaalu, calm down.
Children remain in control
because of fear of their fathers.
An ant wouldn't fear you,
much less Sandeep.
Is this the time and
place for this discussion?
No, no. This is certainly not the place
and if you start crying
we will have more trouble.
Look
I am only saying we should keep
an eye on where he goes,
who he meets, and what he does.
- Then keep an eye on
- Softly.
- What's stopping you?
- Calm down.
Do something for God's sake!
You are his father.
- If you can't
- Sister, where are his parents?
At least keep tabs on your son.
Shaalu
Ma'am.
Sir.
Are you sure Sandeep
hasn't taken anything else?
Sandeep is not that kind of boy, doctor.
He's fallen in bad company.
We will cooperate in the way
that you need.
Twelve hundred beds, you say?
- Yes.
- That is a lot.
And despite that, you're
overcrowded all the time?
Wow!
Yes. Many times
I've had to attend to a patient
out in the corridor.
Oh, I think you're working
wonders with what's given to you.
Oh, excuse me, Dr. Mirza.
- Sure.
- Hey! Yeah, Mike
These whites ask so many questions.
Do they think our lives
are adventure films?
Diya.
I'm talking to you.
I'm so sorry.
- The incident in the canteen, I'm
- No, of course.
Listen, it's absolutely alright.
You don't have to apologize. It's okay.
Ahaan, I was talking
about Sujata and me.
Of course.
Sujata and you. Right.
Ahaan, is something wrong?
No. Nothing. Everything is fine.
All is well.
Sujata yes. Sujata,
she's still obsessing over Saba's case.
She was hounding Subramaniam sir.
She thinks that Saba
needs an urgent craniectomy,
and that she should be allowed to do it.
- She's at it again.
- Yeah.
Dr. Mirza.
The patient with a
severe thoracic injury
his GCS was eight, yes? Was he intubated?
Yes, sir.
One second.
- Dr. Mirza.
- Yes, sir.
- You alright?
- Absolutely alright, sir.
Well, you seem pretty knackered to me.
Sir, it was a 36-hour shift and
- now we are at 49 and counting.
- It's one of those.
You know what? I have a secret formula
to deal with these graveyard shifts.
Come. I'll show you.
- Yeah?
- Ahaan.
What did Dr. Subramaniam
tell Sujata about the craniectomy?
- Sujata Craniectomy!
- Yes
He forbade her to do anything,
of course.
Why?
No, it's nothing.
It's nothing.
Shit!
Hi. Can you connect me to the ICU?
Sure, ma'am.
This reminds me of the resident days.
Same stinky canteen.
Bad food and
- And 36-hour shifts.
- Oh, yes!
Alright. Give me that.
What I am about to make you
As a doctor,
it's a heart attack in a glass
but as a human being,
it's a top-notch kick-starter.
- Okay?
- You know?
Dopamine will uplift your mood and
sugar will give you energy.
There you go.
But only take it in the latter hours.
- You sure?
- Yeah. You might wanna stir it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
It's good, isn't it?
- It's nice. Thank you, doctor.
- No worries.
I did not know you studied in India.
Oh, of course. Yeah.
After the experience over here,
London was just a piece of cake.
The density here,
doctor-to-patient ratio,
and you guys
Simply brilliant! Unbelievable!
On top of that,
you have terrorist attacks.
Yeah. I mean, that is one
night I will never forget.
Yeah.
It was you, right? Wasn't it you?
The one who held on to Chitra Das
when she had that bomb strapped on?
Yes.
Yeah. It was.
Well, thank you, my friend.
Yeah.
What
What do you mean, sir?
Wait.
Didn't Chitra tell you?
I get it.
Now I get it.
Why would she tell you?
After all, I am her past.
Why would she mention me?
Chitra is my wife.
I mean, was.
Not divorced. Separated.
Yeah.
Someone's looking for me.
I gotta take this.
Yeah?
Bottoms up, my friend.
Hello.
Yeah. It's me.
Yeah.
Sister.
Sister.
Nurse.
Saba Rahimtullah's file.
Where is the patient?
Lumbar puncture, sir.
Dr. Subramaniam told Dr. Sujata
to take over as you are busy.
Bloody over-smart residents!
We have to wait for Dr. Wadia, right?
No, her hematoma is increasing.
Then there's encephalitis.
I have Dr. Subramaniam's permission.
And where did this junior
Dr. Oberoi come from?
Sorry.
- Sir, I warned you about this.
- Yes, you did. I know.
You never listen to me.
Six months these residents
are here and they
think they are doctors.
Administer 500 mg amikacin.
- And Raman, prepare the ICP kit.
- Sujata!
You have been summoned downstairs
immediately! Hold the craniectomy!
- Diya
- You idiot! Dr. Romani
Are you fucking insane?
If anything goes wrong
