My Child ..... I cannot lose you

As I was driving towards the hospital, I saw Police men stopping people who just wanted to be outdoors during the lock down period....... by giving  mere excuses.

Even I had covered my head with cap,wore mask, had put the identity card.  A sticker was also pasted on the front glass of the car as "On hospital Duty" so that I would not be stopped by the Police men and safely pass the  Police check Points. Day by day the  numbers of corona patients are increasing and the fear is gripping each and every individual.

 I was also thinking about the people who are off  the job  from last one-two months and did not get a single penny. Small businessmen  are shattered.

After reaching office I did team briefing  and as usual went for the round in the patient care areas. As I reached third floor a nurse informed that the nursing in-charge had received a phone call  from her home, was upset & crying. I hurried towards her cabin, on query she informed that her nephew was not well, his condition has become critical  and has been rushed to the nearby hospital in her native village, but the hospital authority have refused to admit him and has referred to Guwahati.

After wait of 2-3 hours the ambulance arrived and the patient was rushed to the emergency dept. and later to ICU for further treatment. He was accompanied by his father.

On query it was found that during the lock down period as the colleges were closed, the boy was often found busy with mobile phones. The financial crisis had hit the family, his father could somehow managed to meet the day to day expenses. His father scolded him for being always busy with phone and took away the mobile phone from him.

The boy got upset & did not have food on that particular day. He closed himself in his room.In the evening hours he prepared noodles himself and had it. After having noodles he started vomiting and was having severe stomach ache and  was rushed to the hospital.

During the treatment process the patient (boy) revealed that he had consumed pesticide along with the noodles ........

At present he has been admitted in ICU and treatment is on process, parents are tensed, doctors are taking expert opinions........ let's pray for his recovery.....................hope he recovers.......................
