feeling free?

the patient kept staring...
i doubt he can move his eyes...he's completely paralyzed, with myoclonic flexion of his trunk every five seconds...

i smiled at him...
miraculously, the edge of his mouth pulled up a bit...
is he looking at me?


i moved a step in front keeping my gaze on his eyes...his eyes followed...:D

"dr, what happen to him?"...i became curious
"i am not a dr,  i am an occupational therapist"
"owh sorry, mrs...what happen to this boy?"
"hurm...see his right elbow here?" i looked up his right elbow which is wrapped in a cast
"yup!"
"he was unlucky, caught up in a tiny accident which end up with a broken olecranon...he was chased into the orthopedic department who decided to operate on his olecranon...another unlucky strike in the OT, his heart fell into asystole...the dr tried to resuscitate him...and he was merely alive...but his brain damaged due to the blood deprive...so he is now being treated and hospitalized..."
"OoOOoooo...so sad~"

everyone just celebrated independence day, i hope he'd be free soon...

#be grateful that you are given the chance to experience ramadhan...why is it passing by so fast?
