In a tragic incident, a doctor lost his life after his neighbor refused to provide assistance, out of fear of contracting the coronavirus. Cardiology and vascular disease consultant, Dr. Khaled Al-Nimr, shared the harrowing details of his colleague’s death during an interview on the Al-Rased program.
According to Dr. Al-Nimr, the doctor fell ill with a fever and was confirmed to have COVID-19. As his condition deteriorated, he sought urgent medical attention and called for an ambulance. However, due to the overwhelming number of cases and the pressure on medical services, the ambulance informed him that it might take 20 to 30 minutes to arrive.
Desperate for help, the doctor approached his neighbor for assistance. He pleaded for a ride to the hospital, but the neighbor declined, expressing concern for the safety of his own family. Fearful of the virus spreading within the confined space of a car, the neighbor apologized and closed the door, leaving the sick doctor to fend for himself.
Left with no other option, the doctor got into his own car and attempted to reach the hospital. Tragically, he succumbed to his illness while driving.
The devastating incident highlights the immense fear and anxiety surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, leading individuals to prioritize their own safety at the expense of others. The doctor’s death serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of the virus on society and the importance of unity and compassion during such difficult times.
The story shared by Dr. Al-Nimr has garnered attention on social media, with a video of his interview being widely shared. The incident has sparked outrage and reflection on the priorities of individuals amidst the ongoing public health crisis.
As the world continues to battle the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for communities to come together in support and solidarity. Protecting oneself and loved ones is vital, but it should not come at the cost of abandoning those in need. This tragic event serves as a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share in fostering compassion and empathy for one another, even in the face of fear and uncertainty.]
