2 At 11:30 p.m, Ajit heard a repetitive knock on his door to make immediate arrangements to hospitalize a patient of heart attack.--What led to the situation(Here the situation is responsible to originate the crisis)

3 There was no one at the patient’s home except for two ladies and kids.--What led to the situation is grabbing the stress, as the degree of difficulty is being raised along with the surrounding and attending circumstances.

4 Ajit immediately managed few medicines like life saving drugs under the telephonic advice of a heart specialist,from a nearby medical store causing no delay. He advised the ladies to administer the doses and continue minute to minute respiration.--What is going on? This situation depicts the emergency and a crisis of an urgent nature.

5 He left the place while facing the heavy cyclone with the heavy rain and within 45 min, he returned back with mobile van and a doctor, to be taken to hospital.--In this situation, the ‘Hero’ is combating the stress with the fighting spirit and resources available.

6 And with efficient and quick medical aid, the patient became comfortable within 4 hours.--What is the outcome?(This is the outcome)
