JAMSHEDPUR – The MGM Hospital OPD experienced an unusually busy Saturday, a day typically marked by lower patient turnout. This Saturday, however, patients started queuing at the registration counters as early as 7 a.m., eager to secure their slots.

By noon, the registration count had exceeded 800, with significant numbers seen in medicine and dermatology departments. Orthopedics also reported a notable turnout. A hospital staff member shared, “The patient flow today has been extraordinary, particularly in dermatology and general medicine.”

Dermatology and Orthopedics Lead in Numbers

The influx of dermatology and orthopedic cases stood out, with many seeking consultations for seasonal ailments. By mid-morning, the dermatology department had registered record-breaking numbers for the day.

Staffing Challenges Observed

Despite the surge, staffing posed a challenge. Junior doctors were on duty early, while senior doctors arrived later, creating temporary delays. A patient remarked, “The wait for senior consultants was longer, but the junior doctors helped manage the crowd effectively.”
