Life is as fragile as it can be

During my last oncall, I was so busy. I transferred out a total of 3 patients who deteriorated. In the end, one passed away, one remained in acute COVID ward and one went into the COVID ICU.

One of the uncle, before he was transferred out, he quickly called his assistant and sold all his stocks. He then gave a last call to all his children. Unfortunately, all of them were not in Sibu. 

Another middle age uncle, his condition was the worst. His daughter, who was tested positive followed him to the acute ward. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it through. I got the news in the next morning that, he passed away.

Lastly, an aunty with a 6 years old daughter. The aunty's condition deteriorated too in the ward. We sent her off, leaving the daughter behind, whom will followed her uncle back home to continue home quarantine. The daughter cried so badly, she wanted to go back with her mum. It was a very heart breaking moment. My nurses and I, we accompanied her in the COVID ward. All of us, including other COVID patients felt sad seeing her, kept comforting her. She is 6 years old, she knows what happened. 

Life is as fragile as it can be. This COVID-19 is bad, you never know how fast it can "eat" you. That is why sometimes I will take an effort to help the COVID patients to video call their kids, you never know when is the last goodbye. Therefore, please continue to take care out there, peeps!
