Responder Profile: Dr. Vikas Sharma

Dr. Vikas Sharma is a doctor working in critical care department in Chandigarh. In this interview, he opens up to us about how he saved a young girl who had met with a terrible road accident, and why he loves being a doctor, and what he does in his free time.

Being able to save someone’s life is an amazing feeling.

If you were not a doctor, what would you be?

I would have been a fighter pilot or an army officer.

What do you love the most about your profession?

Being able to save someone’s life is an amazing feeling.

Can you share one such incident?

We get emergency cases almost every day, but I remember this young lady who had met with a dreadful road accident and her survival chances were slim. We couldn't afford to waste even a second.

Intubation had to be performed on her but another challenge was that her neck was short which would make the procedure more complex. I performed intubation on her and miraculously she survived. I will never forget this case in my lifetime.

Being a Doctor is a tough job, how do you manage?

We have been trained to deal with it since our college days. I sleep only for few hours but I am used to it now. It is a part of my lifestyle and I love doing what I do.

What do you do in your free time?

I am a movie buff. Whenever I get free time I watch movies or hit the gym.
