Spent last 15 days going thru the decaying orders of our healthcare system embattling Covid-19. A close relative was on bag-mask oxygen in emergency unit of a tertiary care. He developed SOB, fever on Eid day.
3 patients were on vent that fateful night. 2 needed 100% O2. My uncle was on 60%. The other 2 died in first 5-10 mins. My uncle survived cuz he was manually ventilated (ambu bag) for 30mins by 2 doctors.
It was beyond horrible. I decided to move him on vent ambulance. No pvt setup was taking Covid patients in my city.
Care is better in HDU’s where one is not paralysed & not at the mercy of hosp staff.
