Atul Nadar

Atul was a flirty sixteen-year-old local boy who insists that he's immediately in love with Ruby when she treats him for fight wounds. He is her first patient at the Good Karma Hospital, using her paediatric skills from England. She wants him and his younger brother, Sanjay, released to a responsible adult but there isn't one - the boys are orphans. He promises with sincerity to be more careful in future. Dressings finished, Gabriel shoos them out, telling Ruby that the kid is a local drug dealer, the reason he was beaten up. Despite his youth and poverty, his English is excellent.

Ruby comes across the brothers again while exploring the town. They have been seriously hurt in a second attack, this time with a knife. She returns with them in the ambulance where Atul is more worried about his brother. Ruby must make the hard decision which of the boys to operate on first. While Lydia and Ram deal with the younger brother in surgery, she tries to keep Atul alive until Gabriel arrives but she doesn't know the correct procedures for the situation. Despite their best efforts, and a delay of only a minute before blood is given, he dies waiting. Ruby is left in tears and Gabriel is angry but Lydia does not hold her responsible. His injuries were too severe and there was no way to save him. The police have been informed about the attack and Atul's body released to coroner.

Off screen, Gabriel teaches Ruby how to 'cut down' for access to an artery. She uses this knowledge later when Sister Inez is found bleeding in Episode 1.05 and the pair seem to remember this tragic case.
