Sweat-Drenched After Hours In PPE Suit, This Doctor's Photo Went Viral

The novel coronavirus has exacted a brutal price from India - 3,417 people died on Sunday and around 2.2 lakh have died over the past 15-odd months. Nearly two crore people have been infected since the first case a student in Kerala - was logged in January last year. Talking on the behalf of all doctors and health workers.. we are really working hard away from our family.. sometimes a foot away from positive patient, sometimes an inch away from critically ill oldies... I request please go for vaccination.. it's only solution ! Stay safe. ???????? Behind the numbers, the pandemic has deeply affected medical professionals - doctors, nurses, healthcare workers and med students - who have fought, and continue to fight, the virus. What is sometimes overlooked is the immense burden placed on them as they work for days without break and spend hours in a protective suit that leaves them physically spent. Dr Sohil Makwana, a young doctor from Gujarat, highlighted that burden in before-after photographs shared online; photos that have been retweeted over 17,000 times in a few days.
