“…Being treated differently implants the feelings of ignorance and exclusion from main stream society and it ultimately creates alienation among isolators [31,32]. Meanwhile by nature, human beings are social animals; they cannot thrive in isolation [33] which means they have to be in a healthy circle of networks of communication and social engagements [34]. Social isolation is a very common phenomenon of old age [35,36], when people lose their economic roles [37], or have suffered loss of their closed ones [38] and are unable to do physical activities, their social circle turn into limited and resulting to concede social isolation [39].…”

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare providers remained on call in COVID-19 wards, isolation centres, and emergency departments, caring for both infected and non-infected patients. Physicians have faced various challenges during the pandemic, including the stress of working with limited resources, the physical burden of long work hours and fear of public abuse in terms of stigmatization. Therefore, this study focusses on social-psychological aspects of isolation period of physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: It is a qualitative study based on responses from 14 physicians working in two hospitals located in Islamabad, which is the capital city of Pakistan (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences [PIMS] and PolyclinicHospital). In-depth interviews were conducted with selected physicians by using an interview guide as a tool of data collection to explore the experiences of those physicians who suffered from COVID-19 and lived in isolation as their quarantine period. The data was analyzed by using thematic analysis technique. Results: The study explored isolation experiences of physicians during the selected period of COVID-19 and significantly found that two major themes emerged, i.e. psychological exhaustion (depression, anxiety and loneliness were subthemes) and disconnectedness (relational detachment and lack of interaction were subthemes). Conclusions: This pandemic crisis has significantly resulted in having adverse impact on the ability of physicians to approach both potential and existing patients. Particularly in times of such a crisis, adequate measures have to be taken to address mental health issues of the health workforce.

The particular judgments of practical reason play crucial roles in Jewish ethics, in applying rules, balancing concerns, and specifying the realization of values. While acknowledging the elusive character of practical reason, the paper develops an account in which these judgments are not only acceptable stopgaps, but may offer valuable contributions. It builds on Aristotle's classical discussion of phronesis , intelligence or practical wisdom, and Richard Boyd's contemporary account of the role of trained judgments in both science and ethics. In the model presented, the particular judgments of practical reason reflect both specific situational circumstances and more general values and holistic concerns. Particular judgments both are shaped by Jewish values and norms, and present new input that enriches the system of Jewish ethics, leading to its refinement and growth.
