The way the Covid-19 epidemic has spread across the country, doctors and other health workers have emerged as heroes who serve not only the sick but food, sleep, rest, safety, labor, and family. They keep battling with this virus till the end, depriving themselves of basic things like meeting with.

Despite physical and mental challenges such as physical exhaustion, mental stress, health workers display amazing abilities despite handling patients' positions and feeling powerless amidst the piles of corpses. 

According to a Lancet study, health workers face a variety of pressures during epidemic outbreaks, including pressure from bureaucrats and patients' relatives, lack of manpower, confusion, discrimination, isolation, patients with negative emotions, and physical and mental exhaustion. Huh. 

These pressures can lead to mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger, and fear, which not only affect health workers' ability to understand and make decisions but also have lasting effects on their physical and mental health.

Apart from this, health workers are also human beings like all of us, who can make mistakes under extreme stress, which will not be right for the patients. Many doctors have been posted in ICUs outside their area of ​​expertise.

Hospitals have fewer places for physicians to sit. If doctors complain about this, they are also described as 'greedy' by politicians, press, and fellow doctors. 

Private practice is no longer profitable. It is a matter of financial stability. In addition, the costs of replacing the clinic, purchasing equipment, maintaining health records, and keeping staff to deal with authorization and billing issues have made private practice very difficult. 

Many doctors ask for help, but they have no one to listen. It is said that in such a situation, the only option seems to be to end the life of some people. After all, what is marginalizing the brilliant doctors? We do not support the loot of corporate hospitals which are charging huge fees from Covid patients!
