ALT Of ODPs we sing, so brave and true, in the operating room, they shine anew. With steady hands and hearts so kind, they save lives, leaving worries behind. A vital role in patient care, their expertise beyond compare. From anaesthesia to CPR, ODPs make miracles near and far. Through surgeries long and tough, they handle it all with more than enough. With skill and grace, they navigate, ensuring every patient's fate. So let us praise the ODPs, for their dedication and expertise. In the world of healthcare, they stand tall, ensuring the health and well-being of all.
