Fortunately,we attained ROSC and shifted patient to MDICU. The surprising and unforgettable moment was when the patient came back to our ed today to extend his heartfelt gratitude to the ed team. This was the time his tears of happiness made us proud and happy. So I congratulate the team: Dr  .Ahmed Shafi, Dr Remya, Dr Shanu , ems staff Mr Nidhin pg ,Mr Sajan ,Arun k, Vysak,Anand ravi ,Akhila and ambulance assistant Sreejesh.
