Frontline heroes are often called doctors wearing medical suits, and soldiers wearing military uniforms, but that term changed during the outbreak of the Corona virus to include a wide range of life activities, and new classes are an essential part of the machine that works, to remain The world is in constant motion, these people do their work despite the great dangers, and therefore this battle is largely fought by these soldiers lined up on the front lines, from medical workers who risk their lives, to delivery personnel, and pharmacy personnel, who cannot stay in their homes , To the best DONC immigrants who face the number of bodies in wartime, and bus drivers, and other unknown soldiers, Here are some of the stories told by these heroes ..
A doctor and his doctor-in-law send their child to his grandparents
I work, I am Dr. Aslam Parvez, and my wife, Dr. Sonia Rani Parvez, are doctors in rural areas of Patiala city, Punjab, India. We have been married for 15 years and we have a son named (Ayan - eight years). Before the epidemic spread, we could have fun outside the home, exercising, spending time with our child, helping him with his lessons, or going out for a walk. But now health workers everywhere in the world face the same problem, and they need to be motivated all the time, and I tell them: “We are combatants and we have to win this war, with or without arms.”
I remember well on February 10, because the day we started to feel we had to mentally prepare for the worst in the shadow of the Corona virus. My son was preparing for his final exams, and after the exams ended on February 18, we took him to visit his grandparents who are about 60 miles away, an hour and 30 minutes by car. There was no announcement of "corona" as a pandemic by the World Health Organization at the time, but when we left, instructions were issued by the state government to be ready, volunteered to join the rapid response team, and Sonia volunteered to work in the isolation ward for corona patients.
Head of the Department of Oncology, Guglielmo da Salicito Hospital, Italy
My name is Dr. Luigi Kavana (67 years old), in early March, when the epidemic hit the world, the situation in Italy was very difficult, people were pouring into the hospital all the time, dozens of them were already in serious condition, beds and stretchers filled the place. One of my patients stayed in the hospital for 10 hours, then signed a paper stating that she wanted to go home. She said that she would rather die on her bed, later I visited her at home and gave her some medicine, and within a few weeks she got better. Then I realized that we should not wait for the virus patients to reach the hospital. We need to go to the homes of the entire population, even those with mild symptoms, in order to treat the disease before it gets worse. Initially we were calling for an increase in the number of hospital beds, but we directed all our efforts towards treating people in their homes.
We realized that we had to stop the virus from functioning before the patient's lungs were seriously damaged, if the patient entered the hospital and he was already in serious condition, he could not leave, so we started visiting the residents of the area surrounding the hospital, at first we visited 15 people daily, then we became better organized, and now we have Three teams.
The story of Dr. Prince Powell in Zimbabwe
The hospital where I work is closed to all non-emergency clinic services, we are not a hospital that deals with the Corona virus, so the government says we do not need equipment to protect - so we only get two masks and a paper apron a day. We have medical clothing, but we have to sterilize it all A day with alcohol, we should have complete equipment.
We cannot determine who has a “corona” infection who does not have it, Zimbabwe has tested only about 200 people, and they say that there are only 11 cases, but I think the government is not transparent, and has not done enough to contain the spread of the disease, I think the numbers are much higher.
There are only a few artificial respirators in public hospitals, perhaps less than 20 across the country. We had a 30-year-old patient, who died due to the lack of a respirator in the hospital, his family brought a device but there was no electrical socket in his room, and they couldn't connect it. This shows how unprepared we are as a country. If there was a system that would work well, if we were not prepared for this case how can we deal with more of it?
Doctors in Italy have realized that HIV patients should not wait for the hospital, but rather that they need to go to the homes of all residents.
