BALANCE OF LIFE

Balance of Life!!!

Once I was working in cardiac surgery hospital as medical officer. My Sir was saying like he has plan to go for shopping with his wife and children.

But suddenly a call came from emergency. A case of aortic dissection with mortality of 1-5% per hour if Operation NOT done immediately. Operation would take about 7 hour if goes smoothly else may take whole night. So, Sir called his wife and cancelled his plan of shopping. Madam and children were waiting for him and were ready.

It was on Saturday, so we could not help the patient economically and patient party couldn't manage blood for operation on time. Unfortunately patient died in emergency despite our full effort with CPR Advance Trauma Life Support.

I felt so sorry for the patient. I was sorry for my Sir too. Because he lost his patient in one hand and on other hand madam and his children were upset with him. So, after settling the issue at hospital, I told him NOT to make just phone call to say sorry to madam but rather he should go to home and say sorry.

Balance of Life!!!
