I have felt that the world of hospital is one of the most awkward. In beginning, almost everyone feels as the saddest one, but at the same time they can see some other patients more serious and soon it becomes difficult to reach at a concrete conclusion about who is the saddest one.
Sense of duty overcomes sense of shame. You might have to clean private parts of your patient as a caretaker. You have to help him/her change inner wears. You have to collect his/her urine and stool to throw in toilet time and again and you become mechanical body having no shame to do that. You forget shame. I remember one of my closest relatives doing all that for his father. I couldn't help saluting him from the core of my heart. He is younger than me but his duty made him great in my view. In today's world, many so called advanced and educated children leave their parents helpless and alone. I hope he will always take care of his parents as he did.
Different kinds of diseases and different kinds of patients are found here. Not only this but also we can hear giggling of happiness on birth at some corner and crying on the death at another corner in the same hospital. Hospital can give you any experience and every experience. It is entirely different world.
Some rich patient's family can become poor instantly in hospital. Because the disease doesn't only make the patient weak but also it makes the whole family weak physically, emotionally and economically as well.
In one way it makes people forget hierarchical status because all the patients have to suffer physically and mentally, either boss of any company or guard of same company. It can be a place of penance and regret too. Hospital can help us look at death more closely. But, for this same uncertain, mean life we cheat, fight, insult, even kill other people. Is this worth living? Are we really human being? Does it suit a simple human being? This is the place which can make you helpless no matter how rich you are. And more over you will be enraged especially when you have to wait for something like doctor or test report etc. esp.when your patient is serious. It makes you feel as if you have been waiting for ages.
Actually there is a thin invisible line of demarcation to determine doctor or dacoit.
The doctor can play role of great savior or s/he can play the role of dacoit or satan. This is true that all the doctors are not bad but it is also true that all the doctors are not good either. But you are left with little choice. Sometimes you have no choice at all and you have to follow the same killer doctors even if you know the fact.
In our region we can find mainly two types of hospitals one is government run hospitals where you can find less doctors, more dirt, no rules and regulations. Some doctors from here are found in personal clinic or in private hospitals for earning a lot of money immorally. Most of the doctors have power and money but no sincerity. Most of the time they want to make money.
Private hospitals provide great and some unnecessary facilities and take big amount from the patient. Most of the doctors from here take high charge. They may not give patient an appropriate chance to explain their discomfort but they hurry to see large number of patients in little time.
That's why nobody wants to see a doctor or a hospital but s/he has to see them when it is determined by the unknown power.
