Duty comes above mourning loved ones
The Hindu
‘Have to return to work as city is still grappling with high number of infections’
Last year in May, Nirupma Attreya, 57, and her husband, both doctors, were on COVID-19 duty when they tested positive for COVID-19. Both were hospitalised. The husband passed away on June 28. “After his death, I was very scared about working. I’m still scared for my family, myself, and our son, who is studying in a medical college. I couldn’t go back to duty for two to three months due to mental stress. My colleagues advised that I should resume work as it will be a good distraction and help me. Returning to work helped to a little extent. I still suffer from mental stress,” Dr. Attreya, who works at a private hospital said.More Related News
