Lapse of golden hour
Reaching the critical patients to designated hospital on the Chennai-Tiruchi highway through a detour thanks to the non-availability of inter-junctions just in front of the hospitals has been a matter of concern to the medical fraternity. There are a number of critical care patients who run the risk of losing lives as the life-saving golden hour lapses as ambulances are forced to take long U-turns in both directions on the busy highway (NH-45). At times, the slow-moving traffic adds to woe of patients. The National Highways Authority of India must take steps to provide road intersections in front of the tertiary care hospitals along the highway to ensure that patients were provided timely medical assistance.
