A Doctor Who Dies Fighting on the COVID Frontline is a Martyr, Not Just Another Statistic
News 181076 as on May 19, 2021. Due to the continual exposure to patients, adamantly in denial of their symptoms, the fatality rate among doctors is higher, probably due to the high viral load they carry. Long working hours without breaks, continuous exposure to the virus, the risk of carrying the infection home to their families, lack of adequate PPEs and facilities, irregular pay scales, inability to pay for their own medical treatments and, above all, the emotional turmoil of facing and fighting death every day are just some of the heart-breaking difficulties faced by the doctors.
