Dr. Amitabh Ghosh, a senior consultant at Columbia Asia Hospital, said: "The concept of selling oxygen to people at the bar is incomprehensible. If a patient needs oxygen, it is given under the supervision of specialists in the hospital. Oxygen is not something that anyone says I need oxygen to be given. In flavored oxygen, it is important to see which ingredients are in which flavor and in what quantity. ''
