description | The COVID-19 pandemic affected humans in many more ways than one. The medical fraternity worked relentlessly, clad in personal protective equipment (PPE), to fight a virus that had taken the world by surprise. The irony is that, despite the PPE, our fraternity never felt so vulnerable and exposed. Yet, they stood out in handling the COVID-19 pandemic with due diligence. This case report describes the wearied experience of a healthcare worker affected by COVID-19 and its effect on physical and mental health. The author describes her experience as she suffered from COVID-19 and long COVID. |
