A glimpse of...
I accompanied my dietician to the ward today and the few minutes of getting a closer look at one of the patient has indeed left a deep inpact in my life. This Indonesian lady is only 23 years old, and she had her large intestines removed. This means that she can't clear her bowels the same way normal people do. I saw it with my own eyes how the nurse actually inserted a tube into the ileum through a process known as ileumnology to remove her faeces. In addition, she's on total parenteral nutrition and is in a semi- conscious state. Seeing this thing happening to her makes me want to do a kind deed or say an enouraging word to her. However, what I could do was to see her suffering this torment and agony all by herself. It hurts me to see people suffering, especially where its not only the physical struggle they are facing, but also the mental, emotional and spiritual struggles. I guessed these people (patients) are the ones who deserves respect, having to fight the war and win the battle in order to live.
