Medical frontliners face limited resources, forced to ‘play god’ as Covid-19 cases spike in KL, Selangor

KUALA LUMPUR, July 11 — “It’s choosing who lives, then you know who will die. You come home and cry in the shower. Then you cry when you call the patients’ families. Then you cry when the patients die,” said a doctor at a government hospital here.

She said that manpower and hospital spaces are severely lacking, while cases continue to pile in daily, resulting in tortuously long waiting hours for those who are already sick. On July 10, Malaysia recorded the highest Covid-19 cases in a single day with 9,353 cases, surpassing 9,180 cases recorded the day before. Out of 9,353 cases, more than 50 per cent were found in Selangor with 4,277 cases and 1,398 cases in Kuala Lumpur.

“High flow nasal cannula is a non-invasive ventilator. But it uses super high flow oxygen, which explains the name, up to about maximum of 60 litres of oxygen,” she explained. “That’s why when they say it is like playing god... it is not easy, because you have to live with the fact that you chose someone’s life and you basically sentenced someone to death,” the doctor explained.
