In the video, Dr. Nandakumar said, “It normally takes 30-45 minutes from my home in Cunnigham road to Sarjapur. On August 30 (Tuesday), there was a traffic jam. When I checked on Google, it showed 45 minutes to cover the last stretch, which otherwise takes 5-10 minutes.
The traffic was not moving and it wouldn’t have moved even if I waited for 5-10 minutes. That day I had to conduct a laparoscopy surgery and had to start on time as it was important for the patient and others who were awaiting treatment. I left my car with my driver and ran about three kilometres to the hospital.”
For the procedure to start on time on August 30, 2022, Dr. Nandakumar had to abandon his automobile at 10 am in a heavy traffic jam and run 3 kilometres.

On his Instagram feed, he wrote: “Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do! As soon as he entered the operating room, Dr. Nandakumar’s team, who was prepared to put the patient under anaesthesia, began to work.
According to reports, Dr. Nandkumar successfully completed the surgery after changing into medical garb. After a successful surgery, the female patient who had been battling a gallbladder condition for a while was released.
