Will U save me Doc?

(Advanced Medicare & Research Institute Hospital)

Hospitals, d’ house of horror!

horrific tragedies often occur

It happened in morning wee hour

Ignitable in cellar, caught fire

Friday turned a black Friday, in no time

AMRI Hospital patients, d’ victim

Neighboring slummers raised alarm

Their plea ignored, listened none

Security locked gate, to prevent theft, 

 fought fire with water buckets

Toxic fumes briskly formed

Pumped to central air condition

Patients in wards got suffocated

Bed ridden, chocked to death, in bed

 for li’l fresh air, others desperate,

pressing nostrils on cracks & wind outlets

Tried to break open d’ thick glass pans,

Failure turned hospital, a burning oven

A corporate Hospital, utterly expensive

 specialist wings appear impressive

Fire fighting equipments not installed

Fire safety norms, yet to be followed

Basement, a benevolent store

For chemicals, wastes & oxygen cylinder

Cellar designed for open parking lot

generator installed, no second thought
Never ensured, a basement clearance,

Proved for many, a death sentence

smoke, engulfed several floor,

eventuated in a mass murder

helpless guys on life support system,

couldn’t move with plasters / traction

attempts made to attract attention

pressing face, palms on glass pans

Some witnessed others, being burnt alive,

Kin even not allowed to rescue relatives

Some woke up, smelling d’ smoke

watching d’ situation their heart broke

Staffs assured them not to worry

Slummers smashed glass panes, in a hurry

Tied patients to their bodies, with cloth

and rescued some, down to earth

Fire engines reached, no hydraulic lifts

In dense darkness, no flood lights

Firemen tussled, with no ammunition

Fire fury, seinged d’ trapped persons

In d'blaze, a ton patients perished,

Government’s generous overlook policy

turning Hospitals, to zones highly risky

crowded spot, narrow roads, thin lanes,

 visits by kind hearted politicians

Hard  to maneuver, for fire tender

A major hindrance to quick answer

Entrance & exit from d’ front,

no access from rear 
In fire emergency, rescue efforts a failure

Fire fighting equipments not in form

Management flouts, fire safety norm

None aware of using d’ extinguisher

Security’s reaction sluggish &  poor

No fire training for any Medical staff

Run away d’ only way, to save own life
They, not d’ captain of a sinking ship,
to rescue victims with self sacrifice

 frantic calls to relatives to save

failed, got engulfed in d' blaze

  For treatment, patients come,

 Fire trap & death,

a poignant dimension

 Extinguishers mere decorational

No timely refill, all nonfunctional

no water tank to hydrate d’ fire

No fire alarm, action plan not clear

Hospital needs segregation,

penalty for, building code violation

It's patient's right, 

proper care & treatment

Recuperation in safe environment

All perpetrators, bribe takers

Hospital owners, political leaders

need to be prosecuted

similar accidents, not to be repeated

Allow them not, to go scot free,

as always happens in our country

 Most hospitals flirting d’ very factor,

caused AMRI inferno on 7^th of December

Patient safety ignored, for more revenue

Money minting, primarily in d’ view

If advised for Hospitalization,

 an woeful look, intense apprehension

No other options, no further choice

A query uttered in a shrill voice,

with utter dismay & profound shock

If a fire breaks, will U save me Doc?
