Mysore/Mysuru: “My hands have become weak. I could not even arrange a bed with ventilator for my wife. Please complain to my higher officers and relieve me from my post. I am unable to handle pressure.” This is how District Health Officer (DHO) Dr. T. Amarnath poured out his woes when a caller sought a ventilator bed for a patient.
The conversation between the caller and the DHO that has gone viral reflects the current deep crisis in Mysuru and how beds are managed. Sadly, even those in positions of authority become helpless when it comes to helping their own family members get treatment.
