Demise

Okay! Lets face it! I seriously can't leave this place. This place is my stress buster after all. Well what I think is sometimes the only way we can face our fears is to voice them. And instead of 'that whatever thing' tormenting you, you better have to blast it out. It’s almost like a deliverance of sorts. Once it’s given a voice, the fear of it diminishes. I do not recommend dwelling on fears, because that is when fear will consume you. It loves to be the focus of attention, and it will dance with all its might if given a chance. Scribbling your mind is something like fear therapy. By bringing it to the light, it is not a hidden monster, festering in the depths of my anxiety-ridden soul.

Being attached to health related field makes me appreciate how easy it is for people to die from one single mistake. It happens in the best hospitals in the world and by the most competent doctors that you can think of and in a country like India it is sometimes bound to happen . There isn't a doctor, a nurse, or a pharmacist in the world who can say she/he have not committed at least ten big mistakes in their career. The major part as well goes to the hospital authorities.

But on the other side, the reality of nonexistence is too bitter, too cold and too detached. It really hurts watching your loved one dieing in front of you. And the delirium goes to the peak when the reason of death is a simple mistake or negligence done by someone. Just a similar incident to narrate is of my uncle's. Few months back he was admitted to hospital, reason: having fractured pelvic girdle resulted from sudden collapse. Doctors thought operating and fitting metal strips is the only best option instead of traction/ other alternative. After a successful operation yet he died from hospital acquired complications-pneumonia, staph, and serratia.
