I've heard that doctors are charging online for prescribing those medicines.
No, nobody with average health doesn't need any of those medicines for mild covid.
Please don't pay these idiots doing online consultation and taking advantage of this present situation. You guys are techies, you know how to reverse scam a technical noob like most doctors. Do it, teach these blood sucking parasites a lesson or two.
There are plenty of doctors who are doing free online consultation all across the world, go to them ( they are usually better and have real jobs and patients and giving a hour or two on free consultation...anyone who is free to give online paid service all day is possibly scamming you) Don't waste your money on these greedy fools.
Most doctors in India make enough money to live a decent life, all of them can afford to see patients for free for couple of weeks online during a national disaster.
To all my friends here from West Bengal, hope you've heard about the lockdown from tomorrow.
But grocery, vegetables etc.will be available till 10:00 Hrs EVERYDAY. Please don't hoard foodgrains etc. Price of even the vary basic stuff is skyrocketing, hoarding may force a lot of families to go hungry.
Was speaking to some auto and taxi drivers outside the makeshift hospital. Most of them are calculating how are they going to eat in next 2 weeks. We are just middle class people with limited resources, 5 of us can't feed 500 families, but 50, we probably can.
Personally, sure I won't be able to buy 1000EUR headphones for few months, may be even years, but I am not going to protect my bank account.
As doctors, we all failed India. Despite the obvious failures, common people have blessed us every day. My friends who have never been in this country before are truly overwhelmed by the genuine love, affection and general warmth of "aam aadmi"
We will not fail as human too..we will give away everything we have.
Everything in this close to 300 bed facility is going to be free from today including all medicines, ventilators. We are no saints, just trying to give back what we got ( including life of one of our colleagues)
BTW probably most of you don't know this, CM Banerjee's younger brother passed away from covid related disease earlier today. She didn't ask for any VIP treatment for her brother.
I don't exactly know about her political ideologies but wish every politicians could behave this way.
One more thing, we still have some Remdesivir and Tocilizumab with us ( we don't use these medications ourselves)
I don't recommend them, but if anyone needs them, please send me a PM ( don't write in this thread, as it may be missed)
All I will be needing is a prescription for the same with registration number ( with appropriate medical council) of the prescribing doctor.
Please don't PM for N95 masks now, don't have a single one left ( last night we counted, had around 300, all gone now)
My wife is sending as much as she can. But it will take some time to arrive. She has bought them from Germany, should reach her @ Slovakia by Monday.
