Seeing the Doctor

When seeing the doctor especially a sought after specialist, be prepared for at least an hour's wait. Not withstanding the fact that you have made the appointments weeks before. And when finally you go into the consultation room, sits down, a few questions, a physical check and it's done. All in less than 10 mins. Was with mum at the cardiologist clinic this morning.

Compassion

Was with dad during his last few days in the hospital. He was drifting in and out of consciousness. Intubated with IV lines running around his arms and neck, it was a painful sight. When conscious, he would open his eyes. Looking yet unable to speak. The Indian family from the next bed came over to comfort me and sought my permission to say a prayer for dad. They chatted with dad just days before and was shock to see the turn of event. I was touched. Never knew what happened to his father who was unconscious after a rupture aneurysm.
