Saline and Cough Syrup

I fell ill. Monday was just another day and I went happily to college. I had a bit of a cough but I didnt bother too much about it. I felt really weak in the first hour itself and then my body gave me a signal that it needed some quick treatment or it would pack up. So, Arun my good mate almost dragged me to hospital in an auto. I couldnt walk so he had to practically pull me down three stories. I ended up in the emergency room at Sagar Apollo and this stupid doctor asked me whether I drink or smoke.[ Thats India for you]. The physician came over and checked me out and put a wierd wooden tongue depressor inside my mouth and asked me to make various animalistic sounds. So,one decent doctor finally decided to put me on the drip. Ah!it was the golden moment. My body almost thanked him. So,the nurse inserted a canula and the drip began to flow, [ooooohhh!!!what a heavenly feeling]. Arun was with me right along and he was a great source of strength. He took care of all the logistics.

Now comes the spicy moment of my stay in hospital. They wheel in this woman who's heart has stopped. So they begin CPR and it was such an experience watching it. It was like a movie. Being a first aider my self it was an insightful experience. The monitors were making all these wierd noises and I have to admit,I was scared for the woman. The doctor almost lost hope and informed the family that they will try for 45 minutes to revive her and after that there is no hope. They eventually detected a faint heart beat and the woman was alive. Thank god. So that adventure ended there. Arun took me home and his mom gave me rice, curd and beans and then I went home. Now I am on horlicks and eating like a pig.
