I would like to make a frank and honest statement here that I dare say could be made by thousand — if not hundreds of thousands of doctors — all around the world.

I am an internal medicine doctor who works in both the acute care hospital and outpatient setting.

I have not only had COVID-19 myself, but also treated many hospitalised patients since March (thankfully, becoming fewer with each passing month).

I entered this profession to help people and advocate for the health and wellbeing of my patients.
