On Medical Bed

Did i tell you guys that we were at the hospital last night because my aunt needs an utmost medical attention? She had been staying at the house for a week because we decided to give her comfort and care. For few days, we observed that she doesnt want to eat her meal despite the fact that we want her to choose what food to eat and whatever she wants. The other day, i bought a banana flavored oatmeal and when i tasted it, i find the food really palatable however when my aunt tasted it, she rejected the oats and she opt not to finish the entire serving. I was kinda frustrated as to best care her when she cant even taste her food. Yesterday, she asked me if i could bring her to the doctor. Since mom and my other siblings were attending the wedding, i told her to wait for awhile coz im going to contact an ambulance. So far, we were able to bring her to the nearest hospital and she was given the quickest medical attention. She underwent few laboratory tests including a test on her urine, blood and lungs.

Afterwhich, she was detained at the emergency room section for observation. While waiting for the doctors advice, i noticed the hospital's medical bed at its obsolete condition, Some were old and rusty while the rest a little bit damaged. Nonetheless, i saw some rooms which was under construction and in fact i was glad to see some motorized wheelchairfor free usage in case a patient needs it. While looking for their pharmacy section to buy some diapers for adults, i noticed an old man which was rushed to the emergency room for some reasons. I feel pity of the man's condition and i really cant help being emotional. I cry while the doctor is giving him an oxygen and doing something to restore his breathing. At the end, he didnt survived the procedure despite the team's effort of restoring his breath. The night ended with a tired and exhausted me.
