During this COVID pandemic healthcare worker systems were overwhelmed. Doctors especially otorhinolaryngologists in addition to doing their specialty duty were also recruited to provide care to COVID-19 patients. To our knowledge, no studies about their experiences regarding COVID-19 have been published. Present study aimed to describe the experiences of Otorhinolaryngologist during this pandemic. This is a qualitative study using an empirical phenomenological approach. 30 ENT doctors were recruited from government and private sector. They participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews by telephone in a period of one month. Interviews were recorded by consent and data was analyzed. After analysis four themes were revealed namely; 'nature of duty during Covid-19 pandemic', 'modification made to adjust the duty', 'conflict between professional duty and family responsibilities', and 'fear of pandemic ill effect on their health'. The extreme work and fatigue drained ours ENT doctor's physically as well as emotionally. But our doctors showed their resilience and the spirit of professional dedication to overcome difficulties. Comprehensive support should be provided to safeguard the wellbeing of health-care providers mainly doctors. In the meantime timely as well as intensive training for all healthcare worker is highly recommended to promote preparedness and improve efficacy during the pandemic.
