Hope,Faith,Trust

 Stories of Anaesthesia 

Every day,each patient teaches Life Lessons. 

As Anaesthesiologist, I see patient in their most vulnerable situations. 

Paediatric patients are not aware of the complexity of the disease they are suffering especially if it is a chronic disease like Cancer,Autoimmune disease.

It's the Parent who plays a very important role in calming the child during the procedures and treatment. The child can be irritable or adamant or fussy .

An 8 yr old girl was having cough ,loss of appetite and loss of weight for a long duration. 

She was on multiple treatment and had been consulting many Doctors in many Metros. 

For her every scan,she visited the Scan Centre I am Anaesthesiologist. 

Initially, the child out of Ignorance, cooperated for Anaesthesia. 

But later,the multiple hospital stays,prolonged treatment  and weakness made the little girl irritable and adamant.

The accompanying mother used all possible methods to coax the child and Anaesthesia would be given.

One such visit,and subsequent ones,the condition of the child started improving. 

The last Scan, the Mother asked the child to say " Thank you Doctor ".

The Mother had last stuck to the Senior Paediatrician in Hubli. He diagnosed Tuberculosis and put her on Anti Koch 's Treatment. The child responded well and her health started improving. 

The Mother during all these troubled times ,though,was anxious.

But she never lost Hope.....Faith....and Trust.

Agreed ,she visited Doctors....because inspite of treatment, her child kept deteriorating. 

But,once her child showed some sign of improvement, the Hope ,Faith and Trust on that Treating Doctor grew.

In any Difficult situation.....

When however hard and sincere our efforts maybe.....

Things don't at times go well. 

Some troubled times seem endless and useless.....

It's Hope ,Faith and Trust....

Hope that one day things and situations will change.

Faith in God,ourselves and Persons to have strength to come over the difficulties. 

Trust that things will be fine one day....Trust in God,ourselves and Persons who help in making it happen. 

Hope

Faith

Trust

They never should be left or forgotten in most vulnerable situations. 

They give strength to face situations. 

They bring positivity to deal with hard times.

They keep our mind calm and composed in most stressful days. 

The Mother was Hopeful that her child will be alright one day.

She had Faith and Trust finally in the Senior Paediatrician of Hubli.

Then.....after months,the child came for a check Scan....for Prophylactic treatment. 

The child was smiling, healthy.

The disease cured.

All investigations normal.

The Mother had a relieved smile ...this time ,on her face.
