Equating nurses to Gods, the Dean of ESI Government Hospital here on Wednesday prostrated before them for their services during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Dean M Raveendran's act, since gone viral, happened during a function organised to celebrate the World Nurses Day and received wide appreciation.
Officials and nurses had placed a photograph of Florence Nightingale, founder of modern nursing, to pay floral tributes on the hospital premises.
A group of nurses gathered at the entrance to welcome Raveendran, who became so emotional that he suddenly prostrated before them.
''At the present critical situation, you are the Gods,'' he told them.
The photographs and video of the incident had gone viral receiving appreciation from the nurses in various hospitals and the general public.
