"Hindi pa ako handang mamatay." Doctor na COVID-19 positive, nagpahayag ng takot para sa sarili


It is no strange that due to insufficient supply of masks and other Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), our front liners are facing a great risk of contracting the virus especially now that they are also not getting prioritized on being tested. Those who face and accommodate our patients everyday is no impossible to be one of them too.


A Doctor named Grace Caras who tested positive on coronavirus (COVID-19) shared her sentiments on her social media account about facing this virus and the high chance of infecting her family as well.

Perhaps, PH 4, what Carlos Llanes Navarro, shared about being diagnosed with the virus is aside from the physical pain, what hurts the most is the psychological pain it brings to an individual.



"Ngayon lang ako natakot, Hindi pa ako handang mamatay." Dra. Caras wrote.

She then went on on sharing her experience as she started feeling the symptoms.

"Ako si #PH194. Mabuti nang sakin nyo direktang malaman, kesa sa tsismis. Hindi ko akalaing tatamaan ako agad.

"Nagsisimula pa lang ang gyera nun, casualty na ako. Akala ko chikungunya lang. High grade fevers na paulit- ulit. Kakaibang sakit ng ulo at katawan. Hindi makakain.

"Saka lang nag-sink in sakin na posibleng Covid nga ito nung malaman kong may symptoms din yung kasama kong mag-opera ilang araw nang nakalipas.


"Diyos ko po, una kong naisip ang pamilya ko: ang anak kong 4yo, ang parents kong seniors." She continued.


After being tested positive and being on quarantine, Dra. Caras thought she was already on her way to recovery until her experienced GI (Gastrointestinal) symptoms.

"Sabi sa Wuhan, pag nagkaroon ng GI symptoms, tuluy-tuloy nang pumapangit ang kundisyon.

Ngayon lang ako natakot. Napaiyak ako. Hindi pa ako handang mamatay"

She continued writing about her prayers, her healing, as well as everyone who are facing the same battle as her, and a thank you that atleast, her family is safe.

Can you spend a short moment of your time to wish or pray for all of our patients' safeness? As we all hope this pandemic comes to an end soon, we wishes that the fatal cases would not increase anymore and instead have all of them recovered. What are your thoughts about this?
