Mysore/Mysuru: "We are risking our lives to treat Corona positive patients for which we don’t regret. But the society must treat us with respect,” observed M. Manjunath, a Staff Nurse at Talakad Community Health Centre (CHC). He also works as a Professor at a Nursing College in Mysuru.
He has been serving at Talakad CHC for the last 11 years. “Initially, I was scared to work among Covid patients. During the first wave I was posted to T. Narasipur Covid Care Centre. The intensity of COVID-19 pandemic was less in the first wave but it was more in the second wave. Some patients were coming to the Centre with low oxygen level and died despite giving them oxygen. Many a times, youths succumbed to the virus and it pained me a lot,” he said.
