There is not even a bed in the hospital
A few days ago, I went to a hospital in Noida to see one of my friends. When I went there and looked, I found that my friend’s bed number was 12A. The bed number after this was 14. I noticed that there was no bed number 13 in that hospital. Nor was there any room number 13 for any patient. Most of the people working in the hospital did not know why this was so.
