Video of doctor thumping patient's sinking pacemaker goes viral; netizens have too many questions

A cardiologist has gained massive appreciation on social media for a video where he is seen reviving a collapsed patient. While some have hailed the doctor for this heroic act and timely use of medical science, some others have raised questions.

The incident happened in a clinic at Kolhapur in Maharashtra where CCTV footage has recorded the miraculous effort of Dr Arjun Adnaik, a renowned cardiologist. The video got viral after Rajya Sabha MP and BJP Spokesperson Dhananjay Mahadik shared it on Twitter. "This video shows an example of a real life hero living in our midst. Dr. Arjun Adnaik, one of the best cardiologists, from Kolhapur saving a patient's life. I applaud such honourable and virtuous heroes," the MP has tweeted.
