COVID crisis: UP COVID patient shares ordeal
A shocking tale of medical negligence with COVID patients in Swaruprani Hospital of Prayagraj ie erstwhile Allahabad was shared with us by Dr Rama Mishra.
On the 13th of April Dr Rama Misra and her octogenarian husband, Dr Jagdish Mishra tested COVID positive.
They admitted themselves to Swaruprani Hospital. They had been doctors and medical professors of medicine here. Dr Jagdish Mishra had served in SRH for five decades. Most of the senior doctors were either his or his wife Dr Rama Mishra's student. It was with this knowledge and sense of belonging that the two legendary doctors got themselves admitted to SRH.
Dr Jagdish Mishra was given a bed. The bed wasn't clean. It didn't meet the hygiene standards of a hospital. Dr Rama Mishra slept on the floor. However, the Mishras let it pass. They were there to save their life. It was a small thing when the medical staff seemed fatigued with the pandemic.
