Patients and medical staff at Delhi's Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital have been facing severe inconvenience due to persistent lift failures and a breakdown of the air conditioning system. The situation has raised serious concerns, especially as the hospital caters to a high patient load on a daily basis. Long queues formed near the non-functioning lifts, forcing many to climb multiple flights of stairs—an especially difficult task for elderly and physically challenged patients.
Doctors and other healthcare workers are equally affected, as many departments are located on higher floors of the multi-storey hospital. With the AC systems not working, both patients and staff have been left to endure rising temperatures inside wards and waiting areas. A senior doctor mentioned that it is becoming increasingly difficult to work efficiently under such conditions, particularly during peak OPD hours.
Despite repeated complaints from hospital staff, no permanent solution has been implemented so far. While temporary repairs are reportedly being carried out, medical professionals at GTB Hospital urge authorities to take immediate and long-term action to ensure the safety and comfort of both patients and caregivers. The issue not only disrupts medical services but also risks worsening health outcomes for vulnerable patients.

In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.
According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.
Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.
Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
