Before leaving, both the patient and their family expressed deep gratitude for Sachin's prompt and compassionate care.
A patient arrived at the clinic at 9:05 PM with a Colles' fracture in the left hand, having slipped and fallen on the rocks at Sharjah Corniche. Unfortunately, the orthopedic doctor had already left for the day, and immediate care was needed before the patient could be transferred to a higher center. The reception staff directed the patient to the general practitioner for pain management before transfer. Nurse Sachin P Dev, an orthopedic staff member, was about to finish his duty and leave for home when he noticed the patient in extreme pain with a visibly dislocated arm. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, Sachin quickly understood that immobilizing the arm with a sling was necessary. However, the specific type of sling was not available in the department. He rushed and tore a bedsheet and made a sling out of the bedsheet, providing the necessary immobilization. He then facilitated the quick transfer of the patient to the ER. Before leaving, both the patient and their family expressed deep gratitude for Sachin's prompt and compassionate care. Sachin even followed up with the patient the next day, ensuring their well-being, which was greatly appreciated by the patient and their family.
