Ahe, I have seen this—our municipal hospital's generator coughed during my wife's physiotherapy last monsoon. The nurse did not flinch, but the patient in the next bed, a chai-wala with a breathing tube, looked at the ceiling and said nothing. We talk of "grid stability" like a sums problem, but the real variable is always the one who cannot afford a UPS.
Yaara, acha point—I see the exact same thing in our village clinic. My Abba’s loan papers for the motor have more columns than a hospital bill, and that oxygen concentrator is just another line item they won't see. But tell me, have you seen the actual breakdown of where the grid subsidy goes? I’ve been reading the DISCOM reports, and the numbers show 60% loss before it even reaches Ward 5. Unless we track that leakage first, every new reform is just a new flashlight.
