No matter how tough the situation is, doctors are going a step ahead to help their patients.
This time, it is a doctor from AIIMS who risked his life by removing his safety mask to save a critically ill patient.
The doctor who is identified as Zahid Abdul Majeed took off his safety gear to help shift a COVID-19 patient to Trauma centre.
As per a report in Times of India, Majeed was yet to break his Ramzan fast on Thursday when he got the call to shift the confirmed COVID-19 patient.
As Dr Majeed reached the ambulance, he found it difficult to ventilate the patient possibly due to malpositioning of the tube placed into the windpipe.
The doctor said he immediately decided to re-intubate as the delay could have proved fatal for the patient.
“Due to the protective goggles I was wearing, the visibility was not clear enough to reinsert the tube. I then decided to remove my goggles and reintubate the patient keeping in view the critical condition of the patient,” said Dr Majeed, who is a critical care specialist.
He also said that he cannot watch his patients suffer before his eyes.
Now, the doctor is advised to go to self isolation for 14 days.
