छत्तीसगढ़ के इस अस्पताल का हाल देखिए…सैंकड़ों चूहे हैं जो मरीजों को लगने वाला ग्लूकोज पी जा रहे हैं। आलम ये है कि मरीजों को भले आराम न लगे लेकिन चूहे तंदुस्त हो रहे हैं।#Chhattisgarh #ViralVideo pic.twitter.com/kn8fmfa8Yp

The viral video, shared by India-based news agency Live Hindustan on Twitter, was filmed by relatives of a patient.
In the baffling footage, we can see the big rodent crawling down from a hole in the ceiling and onto the drip stand on which the IV was connected. It nibbled on the drip pipe and drank flowing glucose.
