The Doctor’s word
This is indeed a ‘Back to form’ post as it has been quite sometime since I am back to writing folks.. The last few days kept me so busy as I had so much of work to do for my cousin who went to stay with some of my relatives(at a faraway land).. Packing his things was not a simple thing to do.. It required so much of everybody’s time, mainly his mother’s and grandmother’s as they had to take and keep each and every cloth with utmost love as they know there is no way they can see the kid coming back to them after this. Everybody in the family knew that was the last time we were ever going to see the baby….
After almost safeguarding the baby for 81/2 months, my cousin sister felt the pain as the baby while rotating in the womb went to breech position..It was termed as a little serious by many at home and so she was admitted in the hospital immediately. But the doctor told us there was nothing to worry and the baby is safe and normal and so the baby can be delivered after a week or so. Since it is important to believe the doctor’s word many of my aunts and uncles and my cousin herself accepted. So she was back home and again after a week she started feeling uncomfortable and so she was rushed to the hospital immediately. The doctor asked us to admit her and wait till the morning. She was admitted in the hospital at 11.00pm in the night. The doc came only by 6.30am the next morning coz she said the nurse had told her that there was no indication from the baby so we can wait and she stressed that the baby was still normal. The next day morning by some 8 or 8.30 am she was rushed into the operation theatre and they performed the caesaren operation. During the operation the doctor came to know the baby was dead as there was no response from the baby. The heart was not beating. In a matter of 15minutes everything was over and they informed my family that the baby was dead!!! All our hopes and freams were shattered.. After sometime one of my aunt asked the doctor why dint she come the previous night itself? The doctor said that it was untime for her!!
How could a doctor who is supposed to save a life react like this??
A doctor is supposed to be there 24/7 for the patient, if not why are they coming to this job! Years back the ladies who used to check for pregnancy used to say everything jus by checking the pulse of the mother. What is the use of so much of development in medicine??? Still they were not able to find if the baby was alive or not! Wat do I call this??
P.S: If you know anybody who is pregnant take them to a really good hospital or a place where they really bother much about a life! Take care of them. You too read something about pregnancy so that it might help you in some way later in life.
