Jigar Padhiyar, a 44-year-old resident of Vadodara, queued up with his two-year-old daughter and father at the Gotri Hospital to get their COVID tests done after his wife tested positive. In an interview with Our Vadodara, he talks about his experience with doctors and staff at the hospital. As narrated, he reached the cramped lobby of the Gotri Hospital, stood in a queue of 10-15 people to get his two-year-old daughter's, his father's, and his test done. The first frontline worker he encountered was the security guard at the hospital. Appraising the security guard's concerns, he said, "The guard came up to me, saw my two-year-old daughter and me standing in the sun, and recommended that I skip the line to get the doctor's consultation as soon as possible." However, Jigar, cognizant of the situation, decided to turn down the request and wait in the line instead. [caption id="attachment_12940" align="aligncenter" width="300"]
