Marketing executive emerges triumphant after a 10-day battle with virus in a hospital
A marketing executive has battled COVID-19 successfully and realised that more than medicines a positive mindset and determination are necessary to overcome the virus. K.S. Naidu of Kancharapalem in the city was advised to get a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) done at a private hospital when he complained of body pains and fever. He was charged ₹1,500 for the test and an additional ₹500 for a blood test, before he was confirmed positive for COVID-19. The doctor prescribed a list of drugs costing ₹3,000 for use during the 14-day home isolation. “I was sceptical about the test result as over 20 other persons were declared positive at the hospital at the same time and were advised the same course. I shifted to my parents-in-law’s place near Parvathipuram in Vizianagaram district, along with my wife and two daughters,” narrates Mr. Naidu.More Related News
