Dr. Sunil Kumar Hebbi is very busy now-a-days. You can see him riding his car from morning to night. His car is converted to a Mobile Clinic that has everything needed to take care of a Corona-hit patient: from oxygen cylinders to Doxycyclines to food packets.
He is just a phone call away to reach your door. And help you in every possible means.
Dr. Sunil Kumar does his usual nights, 8 pm to 8 am, at BBMP Covid clinic, where he works on a contractual basis. Taking a two-hour break, he is ready sharp at ten in the morning. His car then wheels around the lanes and by-lanes of Bengaluru to treat those who stay alone or cannot go to hospitals or are down with severe Covid symptoms.
Shower-capped, masked, hands-gloved Sunil is tireless primarily in his mission of remission and then total obliteration of disease.
How can Sunil rest in a world that is self-committed to disease? So he extends his work hours to twenty, keeping four for himself.
So the doctor is at your doorstep, knocks patiently and enters in with his armoury of medicines. The self-effacing Sunil would come out some time later to rush down to another house. Time flies out. He needs to outpace it.
This doctor may not hear that society mockingly addresses his fraternity, “O Daktar”. Or he may have heard it; so he makes himself available on just a call. He has no time to consider if he is called “doctor” or “doctorbabu”. Life matters to him, not the foppish babu.
He can discount status and count on catering service to those, needy, left- alone, left-overs of society.
Society can go for floccinaucinihilipilification of his efforts. It uses this long-winded word and has that much time to say someone’s effort as nothing. This is civilization! Society is civilized. And high-sounding words pay in civilized world.
Dr. Sunil Kumar Hebbi has no time to hear “nothing” that comes out of a twenty-nine letter rambling word! He has to treat diseased society free-of-cost. Selflessly. With positivity.
Take a bow, Dr. Sunil Kumar Hebbi (and the thousands of doctors of your genre who put service over practice, sometimes risking their own lives). You are really too heavy for this light world that boasts of hollow words, not hallowed acts.
