Almost 100 Indian doctors have died since the pandemic began, working punishingly long hours in temperatures that can top 40 degrees Celsius .
"It feels very hot and suffocating. But we have to wear it for our own safety," the 29-year-old said before rushing to attend to a patient battling a lung collapse. India on Friday hit a million coronavirus cases, the third-highest total in the world, with no sign yet of the infection curve flattening as new cases emerge in rural areas. More than 25,000 people have died nationally.
"Doctors need to take charge of the situation and ensure the safety of themselves, their families, their colleagues and staff," it said in a statement.Sharda Hospital has been providing free treatment to COVID-19 patients under instructions from the state government, which means facilities are basic and many patients are poor. Not all patients are in hospital gowns. One was on a bed wearing a bedraggled T-shirt with bloodstains.
Nausea and dizziness can sometimes ensue, and in the long term the staff can risk serious problems including organ damage. Abhishek Deshwal, who heads the hospital's intensive care unit, said working in such heat while wearing the body suits was"doubly stressful for the staff"."But we are trying to do our best, we don't have any other option."Some staff have quit or gone on long leave, forcing the government to rope in medical students and even retired staff.
