But no one came forward to treat him as he was a corona patient and Manjunath was treated in the ICU ward and fitted with a ventilator only.
The doctor who treated corona was infected with the virus and died when hospitals refused to treat him
India: A doctor who treated corona at a government hospital in Bangalore has succumbed to the disease.
The incident has come as a shock as 3 private hospitals refused to treat him as he was treated after the struggle at the fourth hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
Manjunath, 50, was working as a doctor at a primary health centre in Kanagapura taluka in Ramanathapuram district next to Bangalore.
For many in the family
He used to treat corona patients there and now many of his family members are suffering from the corona.
Following this, on June 25, Manjunath contracted a high fever and shortness of breath. The subsequent examination confirmed that he had the disease.
Struggle sitting on the road
According to Manjunath's relatives, Manjunath was taken to a private hospital for treatment.
They also say they tried to get him admitted to a private hospital before the results of the study could be released.
The doctor who tried to admit him to three hospitals in a row for treatment is said not to have been admitted by the administration.
And fourthly, Kumaraswamy, who refused to be treated at a private hospital in the lay-out area, is said to have been admitted soon after his family sat on the road and staged protests.
Ventilator only
The doctors who examined him said that his lungs were not dilated enough and ordered him to undergo a treatment called physiotherapy.
But no one came forward to treat him as he was a corona patient and Manjunath was treated in the ICU ward and fitted with a ventilator only.
What if this situation is for him?
The doctor is said to have died without the benefit of their treatment due to various complications. His father-in-law passed away 2 days ago and now the incident of his death has caused great grief in the family.
The refusal to provide a medical treatment has caused great consternation among the people and 6 members of the Manjunath family have been confirmed to have coronavirus.
People are commenting on how we should admire the doctor who treats the corona patient, what is the condition for the common man if this condition is for him.
