cont: with her mom to our hospital. She was sweating profusely & looked very tense yet smiled when she saw me. We treated her as a known patient with Asthma. She recovered completely by next day morning.

An hypertensive patient stopped meeting doctors once Covid started. Got hooked to online Consultations.
Since 3 weeks his BP was not reducing despite treatment so he approached ACE.
Complete workup showed he had chronic renal failure
Online is not mature yet!
