Why me,Ma?

 Why me,Ma?

As Anaesthesiologist, I work in all fields of Medicine.
Some cases melt you emotionally.

Paediatric patients are very emotional.
In my years of experience, personally ,I have found Paediatric group easy and difficult both.
Difficult for Anaesthesia.
But easy to deal with as the Paediatric age groups have more pain threshold and resilience compared to adult.
A Cancer advanced stages child comes for Scans Sedation is required because the child is in excruciating pain.....
A child suffering from debilitating disease which is hereditary. The other child born is healthy.....

The eyes of the suffering child ask .." Why me?"

The child who is working hard,sincerely ,with lots of efforts, for any exam or difficult situation in life ....at any age..... if fails to make the mark..and in disappointment asks" Why me,Ma?

This question just leaves a Parent helpless....flabbergasted .

A helpless situation where no solutions nor answers can be found.

Parenting is challenging indeed.


Some situations do leave us helpless, unanswerable.
No solutions.

But one needs to be strong enough to  face and help our child,irrespective of any age, ,in the challenging times....
Because tomorrow is another day...and ....
Sun will shine....
It's only the support and pragmatism from  the Parent which makes the child pass through challenging times.

This post is inspired when a son ,going through difficult times financially due to current Gulf crisis,asked his mother" Why me,Ma?" and the helpless mother had no answers.
