I believe I did a good decision to get quarantined with my mom and 2 aunts. One of them had moderate covid while the 2 had severe disease while I did not have covid. I bought my basic medical tools with me and monitored them at least twice a day. That time, there wasn't even anyone who could take their vital signs and contact the command center to sign them up for any place where they could stay with doctors and nurses (in that isolation facility, doctors don't do daily rounds and rarely visits patients and nurses only do once a day measurement of patients' vital signs). I couldn't imagine leaving them like that with no one to take care of them. I had to contact some of the doctors I know just to get medication prescription for the three of them. And thank God! Eventually I got into contact with two of the doctors assigned in that facility and I was able to help a distant cousin of ours. So I had to take care of 4 patients daily while having a class at the same time. I couldn't easily forget that time when I could barely sleep because I developed an anxiety one night because one of my 4 patients' oxygen level is declining. And then another one in a different occasion became somnolent and I honestly didn't know what to do because I didn't have any experience in hospital yet. It was really exhausting. My request to be excused from attending our online question and answer was not also not granted. It was really hard and stressful. I even slipped thrice in that place because of the slippery floor because of the rain water. I realized that this is what I'll be doing when I have an actual experience in the hospital. It's amazing and very educating in my part but at the same time I NEVER want my loved ones to be the patients.
I'm not whining about the system as I came to understand why there was no doctors or nurses on stand by nor am I whining that my request to be excised wasn't granted and I don't blame anyone or anything. It's just I remember that trying time. It was hard and makes one anxious and stressed but thank God we survived.
