However, my greatest fear is that I may have to choose who lives or who dies when there are more patients than beds. Currently, such a situation is not just at the Penang Hospital. I thought of my colleagues who were pregnant, breastfeeding and living with toddlers in the team fighting the virus, and hence,I volunteered. So as to protect them, I moved out and stayed away until the cases in Penang cleared last May. — Dr Shamesh Baskaran, 33, medical practitioner at Penang Hospital
