" Run, Run. . . nurse bring me the reports of this patient. "


" Get aside. . . get aside. . . Be away from the road. . . can't you see a trolley is coming "


" Oh. . . no. . . . I'm dying. . . . oh. . . it's paining. . . . My God. . . . " 


" Son, don't misbehave you mustn't walk, doctors advised you to use the wheelchair. :


" Can I have some hot water please. My mother is asking some hot water. . " 


" You cannot take meals until your operation is done. "


Alas!!! I couldn't imagine where all these sounds were coming from,I completely forgot that I was in hospital not in bed. As soon as I woke up I felt I'm like a victim in a camp of Jewish under the control of Hitler.


No!!! I cried. Alas!! This is the 4 th time they took blood from me, I didn't feel shy but I screamed at top of my voice until the roofs go high up the sky. My mother was embarrassed with my voice but she couldn't blame me except consoling me.


Now, again I tried to just take a nap as I have nothing to do.  


" Don't, Don't Don't are you killing me, where is my bank card, you thief, you robber, give it back. . . Don't kill me . . . ane. . . doctor. . . " 


Guess I couldn't even close my eyes even for a second. I was helpless, it was a mentally out person she was about 80 years old where she had inherited a lot of wealth but her children seems to neglect her. Therefore she has undergone some nervous breakdown.  I couldn't believe this. I felt shock, how sad is this human life.


Thanks God, she was now sleeping. So I thought to just relax myself with a nap


" Here are the medicines, Give this to your daughter and don't forget to measure the amount of water and urine too" 


" Baba, get up. . get up. . "


How weird is this life ? Actually I was a victim of dengue. I couldn't believe which mosquito killed my relaxed life. I was in hatred for mosquitoes.


I just from the window near washroom it was night. The hospital is a busy place, I felt how tried must be the workers and staff here. At night I heard a small quarrel.  


" You know that Kanthi, never do any work she always skip. . I am the person who is running for everything.  I must make a complaint. " 


Alas. . . . The situation was worse, there were patients who were suffering from nervous breakdown.  They started to shout at the top of their voices. Among them there was a young girl, visitors who visited to the hospital said that she is been beated by her husband and she is mentally suffering due to it.


Guess. . . how pathetic is life. No!!! My son. . . You went away. . . My son. . . I'm alone. . . . My son. . . Anee. . . speak. . . . that sound was coming from next ward.  


A parent has lost his son and he is lamenting for it, some nurses went near him and tried to console him by explaining the reason for the loss of his son.


If you want to understand the reality of life don't search through google but visit hospital and spend a day under the roof of hospital . You will completely understand the reality of it.


I was there for a week and I was discharged with lots of advices and some medicines too. I learnt a lot by being a victim there. I must be thankful to Lord Buddha who spared my life without any threat for my life. Since many lives were lost due to dengue.


( Actual incident which happened to me Back in 2019 November)
