Written by a doctor on duty at Covid ICU-
Tears well up in my eyes ...
Two patients died on the spot within half an hour .....
Even with high flow oxygen (40-50 liters / min) supply, saturation rises to 75-80% with great difficulty. People are dying like a fish caught on the shore with the difficulty of not being able to breathe in front of our eyes ..
I can't do anything but stand and watchh. I have never felt so helpless. It's going to be like a mental trauma. Our hands are shaking to sign death certificates. There is nothing more helpless for a doctor than this.
We are trying hard ....
I don't even care about my life a lot of the times....
I am not wasting time when the patient gets worse, I am catching the patient without thinking of proper personal protection, gloves, mask ....
If you don't take care of yourself, even the greatest doctor in the world can't save you. No medicine will work unless God pulls you out of the mouth of death. ICU, oxygen is all scarce now.
Be careful yourself, who is calling the superior. Don't understand the horrors of Covid until you or someone close to you are attacked (God forbid). But by then it will be too late .....
