We've been hearing and reading about cost-cutting across industries, but this one takes the cake. On Thursday, a Twitter user shared stills from a 'ZEE Bangla TV serial' in which the doctor can be seen trying to bring a patient back to life using the defibrillation technique.

"Scrubs," wrote Sumit Basu.
"When budgets are low and aspirations are high.."
Twitter user Ankur Shah made a pretty valid point. "Full marks to this doctoor for keeping a straight face in this scene."
The stills are from a show called Krishnakoli. Here's a promo of the episode:
