In a heartwarming incident, a senior citizen who recovered from COVID-19 thanked the doctors who treated him by gifting them rice grown by him in his own field.
Twitter user Dr Urvi Shukla MD shared an image of the packet of rice the man gifted. In the tweet, Shukla said that the man, a senior citizen, had been in the ICU for 15 days, of which 12 was on the ventilator. Following his recovery, he offered the gift to the team that helped him recover as a special gesture.
"Senior citizen recovered from Covid 19 after ICU stay of 15 days (out of that 12 days on ventilator)," Shukla said in the tweet.
"He was a free patient and he wanted to say thanks to treating team. Rice grown by him in his own field," she further added.
