The people working on the front line will forever be known as the ones who saved lives during a global pandemic. Among them is specialist physician at Melomed Gatesville Zaraina Solomons. WeekendArgus COVID19inSA CoronavirusPandemic
Among them is specialist physician at Melomed Gatesville Zaraina Solomons, 38, a single mother of three children, under the age of 10, who takes care of Covid-19 patients.
“At the start, it was an illness that we did not understand and had such a drastic effect on the way we practise medicine. Trying to provide patients with the best possible care with no set recipe, has proven challenging while trying to keep up with the latest developments. This has been coupled with fear and anxiety of sudden death, expectations of family members and losing colleagues,” she said.“We celebrate success stories and we mourn losses. We try to be supportive of one another.
Her message: “We have lost many lives, young and old. As a health-care professional, I speak for many when I say we are tired. The public needs to practise every method to prevent the spread of this infection. We need to realise our selfish behaviour can have serious effects on the next person.”
