Life ain't a bed of roses

As I looked around my ward today...

A 28 yr old woman who has a stillbirth 7 weeks ago.

A 56 yr old woman whose husband suddenly walked out of their marriage out of the blue. They have been together since she was eleven. Don't underestimate the power of a broken heart and its manifestation in physical illness. She helped to sooth and calm the depressed and deeply anxious elderly lady who is having unstable angina next to her bed.

In the next bay, a psychiatrically disturbed and recently became-a-mum Type I DM keep demanding painkiller. She has a morphine addiction and purposely induced hypoglycaemia by injecting excess insulin to her body. Her 6-7 weeks old baby may be taken into foster care soon.

And you just have to get on. Who says life is fair, eh?

Count your blessings.
