Abstract
Covid-19 worldwide pandemic struck India when 1st case was reported on Jan30th 2020. Amidst the great challenge faced by treating physicians, to cure their patients, with continuously evolving management strategies, some also got infected, despite of all preventive measures taken. We present here two such cases where the doctors themselves have narrated their course of disease and management plus back up support. Proper strategic management of the illness according to WHO and ICMR protocols, along with good physicians' cover 24/7 was the hallmark of good outcome. Timely identification and immediate treatment of cytokine storm helped in allaying the worsening of pulmonary and other systemic effects of the disease.
