Bengali serial shows doctor using bathroom scrubbers to revive patient, baffles netizens

The scene shows a man lying on the hospital bed in an unconscious state, and a doctor wearing a PPE suit rubs two scrubbers used to mainly clean stains in bathroom or kitchen sink. The doctor places scrubbers on the patient’s chest to deliver the shock. However, the green handles and the very familiar triangular shape gives it away. (Read the story in Bengali here)

However, as nothing get’s past eagle-eyed viewers, screenshot from the scene quickly went viral on social media and netizens are having a field day poking fun at its maker.

In case you’re wondering it’s a spoof and not from the show in reality, here’s the link for the actual teaser from the show:

The scene is from a Zee Bangla show called ‘Krishnakoli’ and the doctor is heard saying, “I cannot say anything about him, we’re trying our level best,” as it goes to apply shock to revive him.

The peculiar choice of prop started a laughter riot online and netizens came up with hilarious anecdotes. Many highlighted other absurd thing seen on the screen portrayal of an ICU, as a few doctors weighed in on the matter.

In this age of working from home, sometimes it can be difficult to switch from scrubbing tiles to saving a life. Anyway, the shock of seeing the scrubbers would surely have brought the patient back to life.

It is simple, the doctor rubbed the scrubs against each other to create static electricity. 😄

I think that doctor scrubbed patient’s chest hair with those to bring him back from coma. Such a genius.!

Sir,
I’ve heard the term ‘mukhe zama ghose debo’. This is a different version, ‘booke zama ghose debo’.😐
