Experience of life & death
In spite of working in the healthcare industry, I never feel I'm so close to death until one day.
It's natural that patients might pass away in hospitals but if you're not a clinical staff member, you may not be that involved as other health professionals do. I usually read from the news that people had accients or were seriously injured but a nurse told me that a baby couldn't survive in the OT one day. I felt uncomfortable and down. I was back to my room and did not have the mood to do other things. Well, I bet I should accept the fact that things like this happen and it's nothing unusual in this work environment and I will probably deal with more cases like this in the future.
I learnt that a DJ-cum-a comedian was ill and hospitalised from a TV show. He's probably around forties. The host asked him a question, "Do you prefer you or your wife die first?" He said definitely his wife. He said so not because he was selfish. "I want to train her to be more indepedent," he said. He just wanted to take care of his wife and worried that his wife couldn't manage her life if he's not around. It's quite a touching conversation.
Sometimes I feel upset and I am shocked that a heathly person can be so ill all in a sudden when he was perfectly fine a week ago. Maybe we should think more about about someone we care. Maybe we shouldn't just plan for our life but think of the others like kids, spouses or parents, too.
Have a healthy new year!
