Dr Tamvir, Department of Anaethesia

Dr Tamvir considered herself as a jack of all trades inside the operation theatres by her medical/surgical fraternity but rarely known to the patients as like all anaesthesiologists, as she has been working behind the scenes. She feels, the Covid-19 has offered her new identity in the form of Covid Warrior and re-defined the roles and responsibilities of healthcare providers like her throughout the world. While in covid duty, wearing the personal protective equipment, she feels even more unrecognizable to her patients, but the hope she sees in their eyes when she manages their airways, offers them with oxygen, ventilates them and the warmth that she feels when she discharges them to go back home is comparable to faith a devotee has the high power.
