Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query
I understand your concerns. As you are pregnant, better to handle these patients after taking good personal protectio.
Always wear cap and mask with gloves before touching the patient. Also do not forget to wash your hands after examination of each patient.
Be relaxed and calm. As far as possible, try avoiding icu duties in last trimester.
Wish you safe pregnancy.
Thank you
