India, the second most populous country in the world, is seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases unlike any it has witnessed over the last two years.
“Seeing those visuals coming from India is gut wrenching,” said Dr. Ajay Ponugoti.
The hospitalist has been treating COVID-19 patients at St. Francis Hospital in Indianapolis since the start of the pandemic. He says, as a medical doctor, “the biggest challenge for me is to digest that human beings can die from lack of oxygen. Those are the visuals that are hitting us the hardest here, especially in the medical community, because we know if there were more resources, a lot of these people could have been saved."
