As a doctor of a non- emergency specialty in the hospital, I observe the scene is quite different from last year same time.

In the sense, more of younger crowd waiting in the lounge, less people with active coughing yet more people seeking care, social distancing is taken slightly more serious, masks are more properly placed on people’s faces, fear is being seen in their eyes.

Physicians and nurses seem more occupied, their shoulders and back seem unrested, throat seems to have dried up, eyes look sunken, yet their legs seem to be full of energy and unstoppable for the needy patients. I see that their bodies are on a toll but their spirits are high. I pray to god to strengthen those hands who can make difference in people’s lives. I humbly urge everyone to be of help to the frontliners in whatever way they can and not cause hurdles of any kind.

Sincere thanks to my fellow COVID fighting fraternity.
