"If anyone from the family falls sick and we are not able to treat them, that guilt never goes," she added.

We are here to treat people and also need support from our families, the doctor said. "Everyone here supports us - colleagues, friends, staff members - but family support is different and we all need that," she said with tears in her eyes.
