Alarming wave

Today is Rongali Bihu also known as Bohag Bihu. This is assam's harvest festival which marks the beginning of the Assamese new year . it marks the beginning of spring and it lasts for several days. During this people wear traditional dress ie men wear dhoti, kurta, take gamosa, females wear mekhala chadar, sing traditional songs.

But this year the festive mood has been dampened by the on going corona cases. In  twitter news related to increasing no. of corona cases is being circulated, often it is also informed through various social media that there is scarcity of bed for the critical patients. The situation has become alarming again.....

I still remember the day when people got agitated and was shouting as we had registered the names of the beneficiaries as there was no supply and hence we could not provide to the beneficiaries. Few people had registered through Arogya setu, it was very difficult to handle the crowd.

Government has been supplying the covid 19 vaccination vials on regular basis but sometimes the supply is nil and hence we run out of the stock. Regular telephone calls are being received enquiring the supply of stock.

Covid indoor patients are increasing at an alarming rate, few of them are even found to be critical being admitted in ICU and HDU. The OPD patients undergoing Rapid tests are often found to be  covid positive.

Today .. though it's a festival day with the increasing nos. of cases we have confined ourselves in our homes, no outing, no cultural programme just keeping eye on the WhatsApp, monitoring the activities of covid ward for better patient care.

I decided to consult a dental expert as our in-house dentist had suggested that the tooth needed extraction and during extraction few equipments might be required which were not available in our facility.   I requested one of my colleagues to take the appointment of the dentist.   Thankfully at around 5pm she managed to get the appointment. I went to the chamber. My colleague was eagerly waiting for me. To my great relief only one patient was sitting outside the chamber. Within few minutes the door of the chamber opened and I was called in. As I sat on the dental chair one of the doctors examined my teeth. She said that the teeth have already decayed and only a small portion is left and according to...
