This surgeon is in hospital due to post-Covid complications. His parents are in hospital too. His brother died of the infection last month. Dr. Neeraj Kumar now says perhaps it is time to cautiously open Covid wards to families to counter the loneliness and state of panic in India's medical facilities.

00:00In this phase, even after being a science student, I have felt that the biggest problem in this disease is psychological and emotional support.
00:30It is such a severe steroid plus the disease itself.
00:35This is making you so mentally weak that you are awake all night.
00:43You are having panic disorders and suicidal tendencies.
00:46Whenever there is an emotional surge, the demand for oxygen is increasing so much that you are having panic disorders.
01:03At that time, it seems that all the negative thoughts come to you.
01:13In such a situation, the patients who have not met anyone for 20-25 days are hearing machines all around and negative thoughts are coming to them.
01:27First of all, there is a spiritual connection.
01:35Whenever I hear prayers, bhajans, chalisa, japa, etc., I get diverted.
01:44In the same way, there should be an arrangement so that positive thoughts reach the patient's ears.
01:54Secondly, the psychological team should be included in this treatment so that mood elevators are added to it.
02:09So that we do not just admit the patient.
02:11In such a panic environment where the patient is expiring and becoming serious, these things are being added on.
02:19Thirdly, if possible, the management should provide proper protocol to the patient's family for 5-10 minutes so that the health team does not get disturbed.
02:32This will ensure that the patient is not left alone.
02:38I have experienced this myself.
02:40I would like to request all the authorities to provide proper protocol for psychological, spiritual, and family support without disturbing any treatment.
02:51The outcome has become much better.
02:55I am praying with folded hands because I have experienced this myself and I am still experiencing it.
