Dr. Mukesh Kumar Gupta

72-year-old retired school principal from Gurugram with controlled diabetes developed septic shock following a complicated UTI. Dr. Gupta implemented targeted antibiotic therapy guided by daily biomarker monitoring rather than standard protocols. The patient's family was heavily involved in decision-making, and despite a prolonged 5-week ICU stay, she made a remarkable recovery and returned home with minimal functional decline.

A 38-year-old construction worker from Noida was admitted after a 15-foot fall, presenting with flail chest and pulmonary contusions. Dr. Gupta employed a novel approach combining thoracic epidural analgesia with early mobilization, defying traditional immobilization protocols. The patient returned to light duty work within 2 months, surprising the rehabilitation team with his rapid progress.

19-year-old college athlete from South Delhi developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury after extreme exertion during marathon training. Dr. Gupta initiated continuous renal replacement therapy with customized electrolyte replacement protocols. The patient recovered renal function completely within 10 days and was able to resume athletic activities after 3 months of careful monitoring.

A 45-year-old homemaker from Faridabad with no significant medical history presented with acute liver failure of unknown origin. Dr. Gupta coordinated with multiple specialists and implemented an experimental molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) therapy. After 6 weeks of critical care, the patient's liver function gradually returned, though she requires lifelong monitoring.

A 24-year-old street food vendor from Old Delhi presented with acute respiratory distress after inhaling smoke from a grease fire. Dr. Gupta diagnosed chemical pneumonitis and initiated unconventional high-frequency oscillatory ventilation when conventional methods failed. The patient's recovery was slow but complete, requiring 3 weeks of ICU care followed by pulmonary rehabilitation.
