CheER Experience/Expectations

It was one of those rarest of rare moments when you fall sick beyond control and there is no one around to take you to the hospital, you really wonder “have we really got a single soul” to care about us. Reasons could be situational, personal choices to be alone but only after the fact you realize that “whether being alone” was the right choice. Too late a realization.

Without calling the ER, manage to get admitted in the ER and what happens next? These days they just don’t bother but primarily focus on the hospital’s financial health and not the patient’s health. Forms to fill with the insurance card and if not a deposit/credit card and only then a doctor attends to – duty comes after their coffins are assured of the dues. Patient going to a coffin entirely depends on their whims and fancies, financial strength of the patient and finally the supreme the doctor believes by raising both hands, even if the patient is an atheist. Raising the hands does it signifies/symbolizes that poor soul you haven’t got any more of what we want and it is better that you rest in peace.

We have to move on and let’s see the positives or the potential positives expected of the ordeal. The ER is not guaranteed to have female nurses which is totally not acceptable. Guys who miss the care at home and admitted once in a blue moon, do they don’t have even this right? Unfair in an unfair situation.

An unfriendly one at the reception, a male do I need to say that? Sir you would be taken to the trash room, what these guys how come they knew I am trash? Gosh then I read it is TRIAGE pronounced as TRASH. Not too sure if he said it right but I know what I am, trash knows trash better.

A male nurse attends to and it actually worsens the patient’s condition. Couple of IV’s with pain killers don’t help and more than the bodily pain, the pain of the wavering eyes are more, believe me in search of that caring female nurse.

Delaying the discharge from the ER, a slight over dosage sends you to a trance and blow – that is the time the expected nurse comes on the duty change roster. What a pity a few hours when she is on duty, poor soul is in a state of dizziness and could not have the pleasure of enjoying the time there. Pity, pity it is.

The other unwelcome medical development is that there are no injections and there is no touch/soothing factor at all, depriving the pleasure in pain.

What say, have to move on, the treatment is over and after signing a few papers and collecting the medicine had to go home. Unfulfilled wishes are there to remain, as in life…

Please don’t take me wrong reading this, these are small, small wishes – choti si ashas that help in the long run to chase bigger ashas. The whole idea is to forget the pain and look for pain-free passage in life. Thinking out of the box, if I may call to strengthen the mind to beat the odds.

I wish you guys don’t encounter ER and if you can’t avoid do wish to make it worthwhile. Not to show any disrespect to the nursing community but it is to actually glorify the comfort factor that they bring in, than the actual medication.
