According to media reports, in a viral video, the distressed doctor can be seen requesting that reporters and cameramen let him inside to attend to patients.

I cannot tell how many people got injured. I just talked with my senior." A user commenting under the viral video posted on Instagram said, "Indian media is ruining their image day by day." Another user said, "It's time the media is taken inside the law. They cannot do what they want." A doctor sharing the video posted on 'X', "This is the Indian media ecosystem we’re stuck with. A doctor is literally begging them to move aside so he can enter LNJP Hospital, and these clowns are blocking the gate because they want a byte for TRP. A human life may be hanging in the balance and the media is busy staging drama outside the hospital like it’s some reality show. Shameless. Absolutely shameless. No ethics, no sense of responsibility, no respect for frontline staff. They’ll scream “save lives” on primetime but won’t move two steps to let a doctor actually save one." Doctors served without pause Since the night of the Red Fort terror attack, more than 50 doctors at Delhi’s LNJP Hospital have been working without a break to treat those injured in the explosion. Many of them have been on duty continuously since Monday night, battling to save lives. According to hospital officials, around 25 patients are currently being treated at the hospital, and none have been shifted elsewhere. The hospital’s 70-bed disaster ward, created for emergencies of this scale, was activated within minutes of the first casualties arriving. As per theTOInews report, the injuries were severe and complex. Doctors had to perform amputations and treat crush injuries, deep wounds from shrapnel and pellets, broken bones, and ruptured eardrums caused by the powerful shockwaves of the blast. Doctors said at least four blast victims suffered pneumothorax, a condition in which air leaks into the space between the lungs and chest wall, causing the lungs to collapse after being hit by the explosion's shockwave. They were treated with intercostal (between the ribs) drainage tubes to remove the trapped air and help the lungs expand again. While the numbers could not be officially corroborated, TOI sources said some victims lost limbs, including legs and fingers, in the blast. At least one patient is reported to have undergone a major amputation. Also read-Red Fort Blast: Room 13 at Al-Falah Medical College under investigation
