Laparoscopic surgeon Dr J S Rajkumar was on a visit to Dubai when he decided to heed the Indian High Commission's call and volunteer himself.
"The overall viral load in this area is absurdly high. Yet, we labour all, doing 12-hour flat out shifts in search of a larger good," Dr Rajkumar told PTI over the phone.
When a few hundred new cases were being reported every day in the Emirates, the Indian High Commission requested for volunteers to fight the battle against Coronavirus when the city-based doctor and his spouse decided to volunteer.
His wife, also a doctor, was "determined to be with me even in the face of this monster called the coronavirus," he added.
Quoting from Charles Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities," Dr Rajkumar said it was a "far, far better thing" he had ever done, on his decision to help the infected in Dubai.
