“Eight patients died today, now. Five patients are under resuscitation, may or may not survive just because in the capital city of Delhi and because of want of oxygen which is the lifeline.” Doctor said to the reporters. While talking about what the current situation is doing to him, the Doctor said that cannot explain to them his feelings. “We are dying inside, we are saviors not the murderers. We cannot express our feelings to you. I cannot explain my feelings to you sir, how I am feeling inside.” the Doctor who has been serving for 45 years said.
