30 women ophthalmologists from Aravind Eye Care System act and dance to some peppy music to show people how to stay safe during the pandemic
The HinduAn unexpected compliment from a young patient she had done an eye surgery on nearly a year ago brought a smile to Dr A Rupa’s face. “The video has been shared extensively on various WhatsApp groups as well and has become unexpectedly popular,” laughs Chennai-based Dr Shruti Nishanth, who conceived and executed the project with her co-sister, Dr Preethika Gandhi, Cornea Consultant at AEH-Madurai. We are all friends and I have worked with each of the doctors and this effort reconnected us once again as one big family,” says Dr Haripriya adding, “There was camaraderie behind the spirit of enacting important messages without actually knowing the final content or outcome of the film.” “People tend to think doctors are serious by nature. Our patients, who usually see us in gowns and masks were most surprised and thrilled to see us in a different avatar,” says Dr Kowsalya Thiruvadi, a neuro ophthalmologist in Madurai. “Medical professionals telling you not to fear Coronavirus in a fun way, definitely rings in positivity,” she says.
