hospital scene
512 Words Short Essay on The Scene at a Hospital

by Anjana Mazumdar

My friend has been lying ill in the Civil Hospital for some time past. I learnt about his illness only a few days back and, therefore, I decided to go and look him up.

When I reached the hospital I found it a huge building consisting of several wings with a clock in the middle. The whole approach to the hospital was full of people waiting to be examined or waiting to see their relatives.

When I entered the hospital through a big hall I found that there were a large number of rooms on the left and the right.

The rooms were neat and tidy and there were separate arrangements tor out-door and in-door patients. In the corridors of the hospital there was a great bustle and activity. Doctors and nursing sisters in their white uniforms were moving up and down.

At a short distance, there was an operation theatre, fitted with most modern appliances. Outside the operation theatre, there was a set of stretchers and wheeled chairs. On enquiry I learnt that this was the Casualty Ward where those who are victims of accidents are treated.

After making enquiries from certain people I found the Gen­eral Ward where my friend was lying. As I entered the General Ward there were cries of groan with pain and rows of beds were laid out on both sides. Here every patient was numbered and on his bed was hanging a detailed chart of his disease and other things.

My friend was on bed No. 48 and when I reached him, I found a small gauze box and a temperature chart by his side. He was now recovering from his illness and was slowly getting back his strength. After remaining with him for some time, I decided to visit the other wards of the hospitals.

As I moved out, found that there was a female ward in which women in-door patients were treated. Then there was the Infec­tious Disease Ward where patients suffering from contagious dis­eases were kept in complete segregation and nobody was allowed to

    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

    I saw a young woman with her children waiting for hours in the heat. She nervously shuffled into the health care clinic. The physician handed me the stethoscope and told me to listen to her heart. I placed the stethoscope on her warm skin and heard a sound that made my heart plummet. It did not sound like a normal heart beat, and I had an overwhelming feeling that something was wrong.…

    Or what used to be the hospital. I move past the wounded, past the burning plane wreck, fixated on the disaster ahead of me. People screaming, running about frantically, but unable to help. The bombs have collapsed the roof and set the building on fire, effectively trapping the patients within. A group of rescuers has assembled, trying to clear a path inside. But I already know what they will find. If the crushing debris and the flames didn’t get them, the smoke did.…

    Vanguri and her colleagues. Two weeks later, my friend, Ahmad, and I were in my apartment and preparing for an immunology exam the next week. Out of nowhere Ahmad started to convulse and without hesitating I knew what to do. I laid and held him down until he stopped seizing and paid attention to the length of the seizure. Then, I turned him onto his side. Immediately after, I called 911 and explained what had happened and how long the seizure lasted. Upon arriving to the hospital, the doctor immediately drew blood and ran some tests and discovered that Ahmad had forgotten to take his medication. I took the initiative and created two alarms on my phone and to this day remind him twice a day to take his medications.…

    There’s a patient going crazy in room 1000 on the second floor! You gotta go! You gotta go! and help the poor kid” I said as if I was terrified for life. They all hustled outta the room. I casually went over to the other side of desk and got a hold of the papers trying to find the name “Jane Gallagher” rushing through as quickly as possible befores the nurses come back to realize the kid was perfectly fine. “Aha! found it I knew I saw her but the hell she in here for?” I moved my finger slightly more to the left to find the room number she's in “202” in first level never forgot that damn room. I grunt, scowl, scratch the back of my head thoughtfully and just entered the damn room and there she was Jane laying on the bed staring at me vacantly with wide brown eyes. I sense she is nervous.…

    Dad Narrative

    Once again, I found myself wandering through the uncomfortable, brightly lit halls of the hospital. I was to find the room where my father was, an all too familiar task. "Room 443", I was told by my mother who had requested me to take my dad back to his apartment. Upon entering the elevator I let out a sigh of apprehension and turned to wearily push the button labeled "4". Whiffs of disinfectant products meandered themselves inside my nose while I looked around to see egg-white walls and nurses shuffling about in their bright, floral print scrubs. One of them approached me with a kind smile. "May I help you?" I briefly responded saying I needed to find my father, Charles Jolitz. "Go down the hall. He's in the last room on the left." Slowly making my way to the door, I speculated about what had happened to my dad this time. I entered the room thinking to myself, "Boy, he looks worse every time.", his salt and pepper hair ruffled, beard unshaven and a look of loss on his face. Though as soon as his eyes met mine, that face lit up and the corners of his mouth upturned into a smile. "My chickadee!", he exclaimed. I asked him how he was feeling and if it was time to go as the nurse carted in a wheelchair. All three of us made our way down to the lobby exchanging small talk. I dashed to my car, happy to be out of the dreariness that is a hospital. I hoped he would tell me why he was there yet again. Once in the car, he told me in a few words that he had had another episode due to taking his pain medication with a fifth of vodka and had lost control. He ended up dialing 911. My dad hurriedly changed the subject asking if I was hungry and if I would like to go have a burger. I let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten but I can take you to get one. We can go for lunch later this week." "Alright, sweetie.", said he. We arrived at his apartment complex and I walked him to his…

    When patients start to get very sick, they often seem to fall apart all at once. The reverse is also true. Within a few days, the patient’s pacemaker could be removed, and she awoke from her coma. About six months later I was again in my office. The door opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to…
