And He Ditched Me ContinuesA Chapter by Bindu S ChhabraThe story moves to the next chapter
It was a sudden. I didn’t know what to do? I collected all the strength inside me and signed the paper. I asked doctor, have you informed her doctor in charge? The reply was no…
It made me full of anger and I asked what the hell you are doing? For you signing a paper is much more important that informing to the doctor. I came outside and dialed the number of the doctor. It was 3 am in the morning. It rang and got disconnected. I was shivering. I dialed again and he picked up the call. I told him about everything and his response was.. I didn’t get any information from the hospital. Let me confirm. It made me felt sinking but still there was a hope that everything will be fine. He called me back and told right now I am in Gurgaon and cannot come at the moment. I will leave the place early in the morning and meet you in the hospital. Next thing I could do was to make a call at home. I dialed up and informed my brother. After this it was a long time of 2 hours in which I could do nothing except praying and thinking that how it happened. Those 2 hours were looking like 2o years of wait. Brother arrived on 5 AM. We waited for doc and he entered in ICU at 7AM. Before that I called up our family doctor who was treating my mother from last 6 years. He knew each and everything about her health conditions. I called but he didn’t pick. I dropped him a message that my mother is on respirator. He called me after one hour and told that he was bit busy during that moment he just saw the message. I requested him to talk to the doctor in charge and get the position and treatment. I requested him to visit the hospital. His presence has always assured me that everything will be perfect. May be this was the reason I trusted him and convinced my mother to go for knee replacement. He told me that he is out of station but will try his best to be there by that time he will collect all the information about the things happened and the treatment going on. It was actually a hard day to pass. Informing everyone and explaining everything to relatives again and again. Only one thing which forced me to behave strong was my father’s health conditions. His doc advised me not to share anything with him about mom, about her health conditions. © 2014 Bindu S Chhabra |
