A female, senior patient walks-in alone with Swab Test Result in her hand stating POSITIVE for Covid-19. Initial assessment revealed she has comorbidities as well. All hospital beds, including ER-beds are fully occupied and you can only offer the patient to stay in Covid-Tents provided for patients-in-waiting. But the patient cordially refused. She preferred to stay at home rather than in a tent where she verbalized “Mas magkakasakit ako lalo dyan, at baka dyan pa ako mamatay”. Apologetically she said to you “Pasensya ka na nurse ha, pero wag kang mag alala nag book na ako ng Grab na susundo sa akin”. Few minutes after, a Grab Car arrived and the driver came out and ask who is his passenger? He was wearing a mask and a face shield and discloses that he is 59 y.o. with bouts of coughing too. You told the driver that he will be driving home an elder patient positive with Covid-19. Upon hearing this the driver said “Naku akala ko staff ang susunduin ko, wag naman, pasensya na, matanda na rin ako, may hika ako, nagtyatyaga akong magdrive para may makain ang pamilya ko, pero kung magkasakit naman ako ng kubid pasensya na po”. And the driver went off. The patient has no transportation to go home and no bed for admission. Few minutes after, upon checking your patient, she went missing.
