Health workers emotionally tired but ready for third wave

Live Mint  

Syed Mudasir Qadri hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since March 2020. During a conference last week, Randeep Guleria, director of Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences, suggested the third wave may not be as bad as the second one if people follow covid-appropriate behaviour. “Another doctor felt guilty about the death of his parents in a remote village because they couldn’t get treatment for covid-19 in time,” she says. “It will take us years to overcome this kind of trauma, doctors or not.” ‘We have all changed’ Sarita Ahluwalia, the nursing superintendent at Delhi’s Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, likens the past 17 months to the 10 days of Operation Blue Star in 1984. “But at the end of it, we had seen so much loss, it wasn’t possible to remain detached.” Swapnil Mehta says he’s prepared to fight the third wave, physically, mentally and emotionally.
