April 14, Kathmandu. Dr. Nepalgunj Medical College Education Hospital Kohalpur. Vinod Pyakurel's handcuffs seem to have fallen off and the tempty has burst.


He said that the visibility of the head was not spoiled and that the gloves were closed for more than 16 hours a day. Wear continuous gloves is recommended for hand washing.

Dr. Not only Pyakurel's hand but also other parts of the body have been affected due to face shield and PPE.

He worked more than 16 hours a day for seven consecutive days. While working for the treatment of the infected instead of hunger, thirst and sleep, he has now become infected himself. He tested positive for PCR on Tuesday and could not say when he became infected. Her health condition is normal while she is in home isolation.


The hospital has been shifting doctors for the treatment of the infected every seven days. Dr. Only five infected people were being treated at the Pyakurel Covid Isolation Ward. But in three or four days, when all the covid wards are full of infected people, the treatment becomes difficult, he recalls.


‘The patient pressure in the hospital was increasing. Apart from ICUs and ventilators, most of the patients in isolation beds had to be given oxygen, 'he said. Globes, PPE, face shields were used to treat patients for hours.


Even when he is in isolation, his mind is on the hospital patient. He still suffers from the memory of having to stare helplessly as he lay in bed, unable to breathe.

He is sad that he could not save seven people in one year while he was undergoing treatment.


A 28-year-old man was brought to the hospital in the evening after he had difficulty breathing. He had to be kept in ICU for immediate treatment. But the ICU and ventilator were full of serious patients like him.


The next morning a patient was taken out of the ICU and transferred there. But her health did not improve. ‘Suddenly he struggled to breathe,’ he recalled, ‘and finally Corona took him out of this world forever. We are helpless. '

The young man's face is still Dr. Pyakurel's eyes twinkle.

He has other such examples. Pyakurel moved a patient from the isolation ward to the ventilator who could not breathe. Later, the patient also died.


When the infected person dies, other patients also feel panic. Pyakurel explains. "It hurts to see other patients cover their faces when an infected person dies," he says.


‘Someone is fidgeting in bed. Some are shouting. They are calling us that it is difficult to breathe, 'said Dr. Pyakurel recalls, "Even if we can't save a few, we consider it self-satisfaction to be able to save the lives of many and return home."


He lives in home isolation with high morale and says that he will soon be free from infection and will start treatment. He appeals to everyone to stop thinking that Corona is nothing.


Stating that the scene of Corona losing seven lives in a single year in front of his own eyes is still fresh in his mind, he urges everyone to be disciplined and follow health standards.
