Abstract
Health care professionals are fighting tirelessly against the odds being a defiant barrier to protect us. The safety of these healthcare workers is however a questionable matter.2 Being a doctor at the Holy Family Hospital Rawalpindi, I continued to carry out my daily routine despite the imminent danger of catching the virus. While I was adamant to be dutiful towards the COVID-19 patients, I was still caught by fear. I could see the television blaring the news of a young 26-year-old Dr. Osama Riaz, who was designated for screening local and international travelers traveling to Gilgit-Baltistan and thus contracted the virus. He was the first Pakistani doctor to put his life at stake and to die for the noble cause of serving humanity
