Dr. Gazder is at Ziauddin in Karachi. Please read, heed and share his warning:
The second wave is very strong, patients are highly critical and sick...
We have a waiting list of more than 10 patients for a particular bed.
The worst thing of all is that people are dying / suffering alone with no one to say goodbye!!
It's Painful...
Some patients are detoriating within minutes, others who survive COVID have permanent severe lung damage, who can't eat a single meal without High flow oxygen and later on die painfully as if they are drowning once respiratory/cardiac muscles fail to compensate as oxygen is depleted.
Educated people should take this seriously... As they aren't, unfortunately. Throwing parties, lavish weddings, sports events, going to malls, shopping and eating at eateries without taking precautions including mocking the disease. This selfish behaviour must end as it endangers all age groups( Yes Children also, who post COVID develop Multisystem inflammatory syndrome, which is worse than adult onset COVID) including health care workers working in a burdened health care system!!
If I were able to just put pictures of patients/attendants in guilt for having infected their families/relatives(The Fear) or detoriating x-rays, then perhaps it might shock the so called educated. Who are putting themselves and their enjoyment first during a hell of a pandemic. We are in worse hell than before thanks to them.
Take this seriously, SOPs, safe, the spread others in need
