| 85-year old man suffers as COVID-19 defers surgeries | | ‘I need treatment, medicines only aren’t helping’ | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: An 85-year old Om Prakash of Basonkh village here has been visiting a local hospital for the past many months to get treated but medicos just send him back.
The old man who had a catheter attached to drain the urine said that his medicine is expensive and it becomes difficult for him to purchase it everytime. “I need treatment as medicines only are not helping,” he said.
His son said, “Doctors seem least interested in treating my father. We were told on many occasions to visit a big hospital for a surgery as nothing can be done in a local hospital.” The doctors said that Om Prakash has prostate problem and needs to be operated upon. “But he cannot be operated on as all the surgeries have been deferred due to COVID-19,” they said.
The entire machinery has been mobilized to fight COVID-19 but the administration should pay some attention towards the patients who are suffering from different ailments and need treatment. There are many patients like Om Prakash, who need immediate medical attention and they cannot be left in the lurch. |
