So, what exactly happened? Did we miss something in the preoperative check-up or things were magnified in the ICU??Whatever it was, one thing was for sure it had a huge impact on us. The psychological war that we went through teaches usthat we should be utter careful while taking travel history during this pandemic but also should not be over-suspicious of even small things.
