Practo - an awesome app

#Practo - an awesome app, which is helping so many in my surroundings at least. I am so grateful to this app for I was loosing all hope from the current bad situation and it helped me reach the right doctor in emergency situation.

I am so grateful to my friend Ratna who has been talking about the app every now and then.

It came as a beacon of hope in times of emergency. My husband was about to loose his foot, and this app helped me reach the doctor in his clinic, a day before the appointment with him in hospital. And he had his bypass surgery of leg done in emergency and is fine today.

Thank you, developer, who created this app.

Try, try, try... No matter how far you have to go

When some doctor tells you that, "Sorry but there's nothing that can be done at the moment. Sorry, it's already gone. I can't help you now. We have to amputate.", he actually means that he doesn't have the expertise to help you out. So, in that situation rather than loosing your hope, go visit other doctors.

One doctor denies that doesn't mean it's the end of world. Don't believe a negative comment unless you have tried all your options. Try, try, try... Unless you loose all your options. Search for the best surgeons and visit them no matter how far you stay.

Beware of doctors who tell you that it's the end of the world for you.

Who is mental?

I saw a person in hospital yesterday who was talking to himself with expression. There were other people with me who saw him too and said his mental state is disturbed or may be he is mental. He was talking to himself, just the way we talk to our near and dear. Who better near and dear one would have other than himself / herself.

After that discussion was over, I was sitting in the cafeteria and wondering about my husband who has undergone a surgery few days back, and then I noticed that I too talk to myself, about my worries, about what happened, what could have prevented and all the things that went wrong which led to the surgery. My talking was limited to my thoughts and an occasional silent / not much noticeable nodding of the head. Then I wondered that the guy who was talking to himself may or may not be a mental. If he is then all we people are a little 'mental' at some point. Some find themselves alone during the bad times and react differently.

One should always have company in hospital otherwise you never know when the attendant will also become a mental patient. There should be someone with whom the attendant could share the feelings. Keeping the feelings inside is a very bad thing.

To complete the article - who is mental? - I would say we all are at some point.

Just a thought... The Shawshank Redemption Syndrome

Was watching "The Shawshank Redemption"... The part where Old Brooks was released from the jail and scenes afterwards, they felt so similar to me. "These walls are funny. First you hate them. Then you get used to them." These lines are actually lived by me. Not the jail walls, but the home walls with my family. I was so scared when I went Mumbai to join my first job just like Brooks was. The world looked so anonymous and scary for I was out of my home on my own for the first time. Everything was new, the culture, the people, the food... Everything! I wished then that I should have stayed in a hostel or boarding for sometime.

I am sure like me there are many of you who felt the same... :)
