According to reports, as Dr. Majeed reached the ambulance, he found it difficult to ventilate the patient possibly due to malpositioning of the tube placed into the windpipe. The doctor reportedly said that he had to immediately re-intubate as the delay could have proved fatal for the patient. Since the doctor was wearing protective goggles, the visibility was less and it became difficult for him to reinsert the tube. As per reports, the doctor had to remove his safety gear to reintubate the patient keeping in view the critical condition of the patient. According to reports, after the quick treatment, the patient continues to be on a ventilator while Majeed is under quarantine after the exposure.
