Exactly a year ago, we lived in a state of anxiety and fear. Lucky were those who didn’t have to make pleas for hospital beds, oxygen, plasma for their near and dear ones. Social media was plastered with bereavement notes, and we all were left praying for survival. All our discussions centered around the manic second wave which was claiming lives of both old and young alike! But there were some warriors who cannot be thanked enough - our doctors and our nurses.
Expecting to hear a somber account of the second wave, I called Ms Joice Inbarani, chief nursing office, BGS Gleneagles Global Hospital on the occasion of International Nurses Day to reflect upon the time but I was pleasantly surprised to hear a different tone. “We have seen the worst and all I can say is that we are not afraid of any further waves. We nurses have seen the worst and it has strengthened us all to the point where we truly feel like warriors who can handle anything that comes their way.”
