Covid -19: How We Making It Complicated

 



“Hello,am I disturbing you?”

‘Yeah,but what is life without being disturbed by the right people,”I said.

She started to smile widely.


“What will happen if someone is drowning?”She quizzed again pointing at the sea.


I craned my neck to get a better view from the bench.


“Will die,”I ended it.


“Why?”she questioned again.


“Some whys have no answer,” I said  lounging lazily on the bench apart from the fact that I was trying to make small talk.


“Why you keeping your face like you just finished a grumble session?”


 Maybe that’s my natural expression I thought.

“Well fresh water is hypotonic,rapidly absorbed across alveolar membranes,impairs surfactant function and caused alveolar collapse,right to left shunting of non oxygenated blood.Absorption of large amount of hypotonic fluid will result in hemolysis while salty sea water is hypertonic hence provokes alveolar oedema.”


The couple next to us looked up and down at us as if we had questioned them about their secret personal fantasies and exchanged cold glances.


People had fear of death but they will wear their mask to cover their chin exposing their nose inviting the virus.Like having a strong metal gate at their home but left it open unlocked at night.


She took 11 seconds,but she gave a brief nod at the end.


“Means will die?”she summarized.


Life is really  simple but we insist on making it complicated;like simply wearing the mask properly.



Positive Covid For the Second Time?

 



It’s  been 6 months since I was tested positive for Covid 19.

I still remember the date; 9/12/20.


Been three months since I completed my second dose of vaccine.


In a week,two patient’s covid pcr came out as positive,one more patient’s covid pcr gene expert was positive.


Unlike medical,no one give a shit about contact tracing,to ask if got any symptoms in this department.


The medical consultant was very concerned about house officer’s health.


It’s not the same here.


Those same symptoms ,headache,mild sore throat,joint pain,unexplainable lethargy is there again.


For the second time?Even after vaccination?


 I don’t know;for now.


I have to work till 9pm today and I’m oncall tomorrow.If I go for swab then the entire time table for the week will collapse.Only three house officer covering the entire ward,there’s no more man power left to run the wards.Without house officer,ortho department will be  dyfunctional to be honest.We are the back  bone for this department and we are the one that make sure patient is optimize and well prepared for a surgery.


Yet,no one respect nor appreciate our effort like other departments.


Wearing a set of full enhanced PPE for straight 6  to 8 hours,suffocated with a tight N95 face mask,drenched with our own sweat..Within few hours,you will experienced a sort of headache,not sure if it’s because of dehydration or the heat..


It’s super unpleasant..


I wish things could be different.

I wish we all can live a normal life;like before.

I wish we all could freely go out,create memories that we supposed to create.

After all,life is to make memories.

I wish I can see my family and spend time with them.

I wish everything will comes to an end soon.

Because its  exhausting ..

I am exhausted.






Anyway,our next short film is coming soon.

Do watch the teaser .
