Teary farewell, a wife breaks down, a family rushes with oxygen
Healthcare workers paying a teary farewell to a doctor who died, a wife breaking down after seeing her husband’s body, a family who rushed with two oxygen cylinders but still couldn’t save their loved one – these were the heart-wrenching scenes at Batra Hospital on Saturday where 12 COVID-19 patients died allegedly due to oxygen shortage. As the body of R.K. Himthani, head of Gastroenterology at the hospital, was being moved to an ambulance, one of the employees broke down and started crying while the others were distraught and silent. As the ambulance started to leave, many paid their last respects with folded hands. His wife, who has also tested positive for the virus, is still under treatment at the hospital. Dr. Himthani had been working at the hospital for 31 years.More Related News
