BREATHLESS......

 It's been a year and more,we are globally facing the Covid Pandemic.

Health care workers all over the world are working hard in treating people. Viroligists,Epidemiologists  and Scientists.....everyone.....are working on Vaccines and new drugs to control the Pandemic.

Some countries are experiencing second wave of infection and facing Lockdown. 

Everyone has been affected by this Pandemic  with respect to Health,finance,economy, careers,personal relationships, education. 

I am an Anaesthesiologist. All these years have been monitoring Breathing of my patients.

Breathing comes naturally to all of us.We have taken it for granted.

The Pandemic brought me closer to....BREATHLESS.......

The Covid19 virus affects our entire Respiratory system badly.The whole system becomes hard like marble,rigid and fibrosed. 

ICU got filled with patients of all age group experiencing low oxygen saturation, difficulty in breathing, pain during breathing, compromised and restricted lung functions. 

The true meaning of BREATH,BREATHE,BREATHLESS,BREATHLESSNESS..........I learnt only during Covid Pandemic.

The fear in every face in ICU is unforgettable. 

The first reaction in everybody I saw was...WHY ME?

Then...How did I get it?

Then... Will I make through this situation?

Then...What about my family?

Finally.... Please let this situation I am facing get over.....outcome whatever be........

AMEN.

The initial anger towards everyone, follows by fear and finally remorse. 

When it comes to healing,we have 3 options

1.Believe in only GOD.

2.Believe in only Medicine.

3.Believe in Both.

You will never know how strong you are.....until being strong is the only choice you are left for survival. 

The Pandemic has created a situation of uncertainty and insecurity with respect to everything and everyone globally.

The only thing which is motivating is HOPE AND FAITH.

The Covid 19 virus is mutating itself.It will gradually lose its virulence and herd immunity may be achieved. 

But the whole recovery is a process.Every thing will take time to recover.It requires lots of Patience.

We will have to give in ourselves and everything we have got.

         .........              A PRAYER......

BREARTHE.....YOU ARE GOING TO BE OKAY.....

YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE....

YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE....

NEVER HAVE YOU BEEN SO SCARED....

FELT SO UNCOMFORTABLE  AND ANXIOUS......

BREATHE.........

YOU HAVE SURVIVED TILL HERE...

YOU WILL THIS TOO....

TODAY,ALL THIS FEELS UNBEARABLE  ....RIGHT NOW.....JUST BREATHE....

KEEP BREATHING.......

THIS TOO SHALL PASS......

       I  PROMISE.
