In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak, it's the doctors, nurses and health workers, who are working hard all over the world as the virus is spreading uncontrollably day by day. But how often do we recognise their hard work, selfless service and sacrifice as they are taking a huge risk during a pandemic situation like this?

Despite calling them as the actual superheroes with them working long shifts, reports of many medics being attacked or isolated by common people just because they are treating COVID-19 patients have surfaced online.

However, a recent video that has surfaced online shows the heartwarming gesture of people in the US thanking an Indian-origin doctor, for her enormous service in a very special and unique way. Dr Uma Rani Madhusudana of Hartford Healthcare in Connecticut has been treating COVID-19 patients.
