“The first thing I could notice when he was having severe pain was when a ward boy was trying to push the stretcher through the room. And it slightly hit the wall, which prompted him (Rishabh Pant) to scream with so much pain. It was just a simple jerk, but it was so painful, he cried immediately. Then I realized something big has happened,” Thulasi Yuvraj, a physiotherapist at the NCA reveals.
