no congrats for a new born....but many condolences for a life ended, coupled with the sorrows of infertility, cancer diagnosis, chronic aches and pains.....and u get the grim picture...
an aunty with stage IV cervical cancer was the first patient i clerked there... she cant move her legs, cant control her bowels, and was in pain all the time... took me 2 hours just to get a full history out of her... and subsequently... everytime i pass her...she wants me to sit down for as long as i can...talking to her...and moving her legs around...and the cycle continues the next day..
eventually, she learned to call out for me whenever she needs something... and i learned to try to avoid her visual field
this morning... Tek Jee and Feng took their patient, who has also stage 4 cancer, out for a stroll on the wheelchair...despite missing a colposcopy session
this afternoon...she developed some complications...situation became critical...we performed the last cycle of CPR on her...and she passed on around 5pm.
and wat my housemate did this morning... was probably the best and the most valuable thing anyone could ever do
as for me..i believe theres a better day after the sunset... and my faith in God gives me meaning in life and in everything i doi went back to my aunty...inspired to give her my attention whenever i can..
