Nagpur: A good man-built desperately held his mother like a child as if trying to hold him back to leave him.
The woman in her sixties was panting and her child was waiting for a doctor.
They are on autorickshaw queuing along with other vehicles.
There are ambulances, private cars and even autorickshaws all line up.
Each has a patient really needs medical attention but the wait is never over.
It was in April this year and the scene at Indira Gandhi The Government of Medical College and the Hospital (IGGMCH), known as the Mayo Hospital.
The man and his mother will probably become an iconic photo that describes a desperate situation during the second wave of Covid.
He stared directly at the eyes of the author of this diary and begged for help.
It would be too cruel to take pictures at that time was chaos.
Autorickshaw goes ahead and the author of this diary does not save further songs from him.
When sleeping was rare during the second wave, the author of this diary visited the two Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) and IGGMCH to check the situation.
Although not a medical reporter, the author of this diary is used experience in reporting fields.
Pengah-oxygen patients were dying on the doorway of the ward.
The hospital is full and there is a time when even two large city hospitals run out of beds.
They refused by private hospitals rushed to GMCH and IGGMCH as the last choice.
At GMCH, a man shakes his brother male in an effort to revive him.
The man died waiting for a bed.
Brother told the author of this diary that the person was panting but RT-PCR did not test the positive covid, and so he could not get a ticket to enter the Covid ward.
There are around seven people outside the ward at GMCH – three are dead.
A child stood crying as the Zip hospital staff ‘his father’s body on a black plastic sheet and took him away.
Two young girls looked like medical students or resident doctors standing confused.
Journalists come from the crisis of a certain sensation reporting crisis directly from Ground Zero.
During covid times the author of this diary realized that even we were equally vulnerable.
This brings change in view.
The doctors also stated helpless about the situation.
Among the Pandemic Heroes The author of the diary was covered including the cremated NMC worker Covid died.
The crematorium full of burning Pyrus with a man in PPE White stands in front of the fire.
PPE shows that the person has died from Covid.
Even the van bodies walked short to bring dead people.
Things are normalized like faster than the time for the crisis to build.
The author of this diary hopes not to face the same situation.
