The scene: a government hospital in Bangalore, our protagonist: growing increasingly restless over the patients refusing treatment from him, simply turning the opposite way as he and his friends make rounds for daily check ups. He was a medical student and the patients wanted only the best doctors to help them! This is when the timid 21-year-old Amir Neupane decided to take matters into his own hands. ‘I’m almost a doctor, too! They should accept treatment from me, too, I’m not just a student!’ he affirmed, as one fateful day he made the rounds donning the stethoscope and coat privy only to fully fledged doctors.

As fate would have it, an emergency patient comes through with a severe case of COPD and is admitted into the ICU. The emergency doctor: our very own ‘junior doctor’. Regardless, ethically divisive as it may be, he began treatment, consulting his seniors and using the knowledge he had learned in his three years, he treated this critical patient best he could. The patient makes a full recovery from the very clutches of death. The commotion, the buzz around the hospital: immense, ‘How did a mere medical student cure a critical patient?’.
