Attacking doctors and nurses surely isn’t fair: Amyra Dastur

Mumbai: Actress Amyra Dastur recently took to her social media handle to talk about her father’s experience with Covid-19. She says she’ll never forget the feeling of utter terror and helplessness. Amyra posted a string of pictures with doctors and healthcare workers and also requested people to stop violence against the health workers.

Sharing the image on Instagram on June 5, the actress wrote: “My father was admitted into hospital on the 12th of May 2021. What started off as fever and a cough developed into pneumonia caused by covid (even though all his tests were negative). His O2 dropped and his body began deteriorating to the extent he had to be shifted into the ICU. It was touch and go over that weekend.”

Amyra further expressed her gratitude to all the doctors and other health workers who are responsible for her father’s recovery. She wrote, “I’ll never forget that feeling of utter terror and helplessness. A feeling almost all the families in India have experienced or are currently experiencing. Dad managed to stabilise by the 17th of May but had to undergo other tests which basically lead to him needing a double bypass that was conducted in Masina Hospital. Dad came home yesterday. Still recovering but definitely better. That’s only because of the amazing doctors and nurses who made sure he fought everything and truly took care of him. I can’t thank these heroes enough. The long shifts they’re working and with constant hope in their eyes for all their patients. It truly was something else.”

She then requested everyone to stop the violence against doctors. “I just want to end this post by requesting everyone not to harm doctors or nurses. As someone who’s been on the other side, seeing their loved one almost taken from them, I can only try to imagine the pain some families have gone through. I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if I lost my father but attacking doctors and nurses surely isn’t fair,” Amyra wrote.

She concluded: “They truly are working their hardest and they need our support. We can’t afford to hurt the people who are risking their lives to save ours.”
