Thankful Thursdays (week 21):Small joys and big happiness

While I am writing the post I am lounging at the poolside in Goa .Yes I am travelling .The wifi  here has an interesting charge of 100 rupees per hour .So I am thankful to  Vodafone 3G.It’s not doing too badly and saving me money I can’t give to this hotel!

This week has been impossible. My biggest help at the hospital had to take leave suddenly because of a family emergency. Last year’s batch of interns had their convocation yesterday,which unfortunately I missed and the next batch is starting today.We missed both the events because we desperately needed a break.Rai’s new session starts next week and I get crabby and my feet tingles every 2 months.I like doing little or nothing on holidays .The sheer bliss of no worries can be the biggest therapy.

Summers at the hospital are beyond crazy  .Queues stretch wherever you look.The poor people who throng the hospital ,have  a tough time and so do the doctors .Writing on the prescription pad ,medicine slip ,investigation slips get progressively challenging as the mercury rises .When there are 77 doctors per lakh patients in India how can doctors maintain any uniformity in the service they offer.

A doctor in Mumbai had referred a patient to a different hospital for a neurosurgery consultation  .He was so badly beaten up that he lost an eye.I have faced threats of bodily harm by people claiming to be family members ,because they believed only males can be surgeons.I still have nightmares .

Do I lament the ignorance  of these people or pray for my own self ?

Can anyone honestly be above human  error? While I am going to write  my thankfulness post with a worried heart, I wonder how far things will get worse before things can get better
