When a virus turns the Wheel of life
1Junior Consultant and Infection Control Officer, Central Laboratory, St Martha's Hospital, Bengaluru, 560 001 INDIA.
Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a leveller of sorts; across communities, cities, and countries. All healthcare workers are doing their best beyond the call of duty. With many patients recovering and others succumbing every day, they are facing extreme situations. Sometimes, both the good and the bad occur within in a matter of minutes which can be emotionally exhausting. A single Covid-19 test report whether positive or negative has many implications, the rest depends on the healthcare staff who diagnose, treat and more importantly, convey the diagnosis to the patients. Here is an experience of what healthcare workers face and how they handle it. Brave are those who still hold on to their grit and spirit.
