12 April 2014

Suddenly, it is April again.
It didn't seem too long ago when I first started working.
(In actual fact it has only been barely two years)
Surprisingly, I have enjoyed the journey so far.
I had entered this profession initially with a sense of dread and uncertainty, which till today, hasn't been fully eliminated.
For healthcare providers, patients and their families, life can be altered in a matter of minutes.
Illness strikes when one leasts expects it. Emergencies can happen any time of the day.
I curse silently whenever something happens. I try my best. Sometimes things work out, sometimes the worst things happen all at once. We deal with it.

Perhaps this is the remarkable thing about human adaptability.
