In Indore, India, a big government hospital called Maharaja Yeshwantrao (MY) Hospital had a power outage.
Doctors had to use the flashlights on their phones and candles to treat patients because it was very dark.

The hospital boss said the power was only out for a few minutes and was fixed quickly.
Patients were upset and said their complaints were not heard.
