The Curious Case Of Role Reversals

We can't know what will be the After if we don’t fully understand the Now and, let’s admit it, we don’t have a clue and neither do the people who are leading us. ‘Fear and denial’ is what doctors use when treating patients with COVID-19, explains Dr. Shiba Malik, Neurosurgeon, Vivevakanand Hospital in Haldwani. “If we didn’t fear getting sick we would be sitting ducks and wouldn’t protect ourselves, or our loved ones. But without denial we wouldn’t come to the hospital at all.” Doctors are trained to feel infallible in the riskiest of situations — denying and defying the odds of catching contagious diseases even when they are operating on patients with HIV, Hepatitis B, or Tuberculosis. The difference is, with the aforementioned cases, the odds of contagion are, perhaps, 1 in 10, while in the case of COVID-19, the odds are closer to 1 in 1. Especially in the absence of proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
