Patient lying in OT as doctors fight each other over 'screws' at RG Kar hospital

• Doctors in Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital got into a fight during a patient's surgery over which screws to use
• The patient was lying on the table with cotton swabs over their eyes while the doctors quarreled
• This incident has been deemed a memorable experience for the patient, who was under anesthesia at the time

h, what a lovely sight in the operation theatre! The patient was all set to undergo surgery, and everything seemed to be going fine. But then, the doctors had a difference of opinion, and they decided to settle it in the most civilized way possible - by having a good old fistfight! How delightful!

Apparently, the argument was about screwing the patient (no, not that kind of screwing), and which screws to use for the operation. One doctor wanted to use screws 16 and 18, while the other suggested using screws 22 and 24. Of course, this was a matter of life and death, and the doctors couldn't let it go. They had to fight it out, right then and there.

All this drama took place in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, which is not a private hospital, mind you. The patient, poor thing, was lying there with cotton swabs over their eyes, listening to the bone grafting machine next to him, and wondering whether he had accidentally stumbled into a wrestling ring instead of an operation theatre. But hey, who needs a quiet and peaceful environment when you can have doctors fighting in the background?

And what's more, the patient had the privilege of witnessing all this firsthand, even though he was under anesthesia. Just imagine waking up from surgery and realizing that the doctors who were supposed to save your life were too busy fighting with each other! What a memorable experience!
