At hospital
Rohan
My life would have been easy if my left knee was fine. It had been troubling me for one long year when I decided to check it up with a doctor. I am not a doctor or treatment-seeking person, but after lots of suffering and terrible pain, I had to see a doctor.
In early days, I managed it anyhow but as time passed, it went on going severe each day. I consulted some people, used some home remedies, but it was all temporary. The pain ceased for a couple of days, then again used to start. It was unbearable for me. That was the time I thought of consulting a good doctor, which I never did before.
Then after some research, I found out that the best orthopaedist in the town was Dr Arijit Sawal. He had a good reputation and good past records. I decided to meet him. I fixed an appointment and went to his clinic to meet him.
Rohan
`Hello, doctor,’ I wished as I entered his cabin.
Doctor
`Hello, hello,’ he wished back extending his arm for a handshake. I shook hands with him.
Doctor
`Yes, tell me what your problems are.’
Rohan
`This is the very first time I am experiencing this type of pain. My left knee is paining severely.’
Doctor
`Does it pain regularly?’
Rohan
`No, it doesn’t have fixed time. It pains whenever it wants.’
Doctor
`Now I am beginning to think that your knee has it’s own brain, as it is doing things when it wants.’
Doctor
`Okay, now serious. Tell me since when did it start?’
Doctor
`Oh I see, long time though.’
He took a few tests and prescribed some medicines. I took the medicines and left. Dr. Arijit said to consult him again if the medicines didn’t work.
Room No.31
I tried the medicines on for a few days, but it didn’t work. I continued for more few days, still, then it didn’t have any effect on the pain. As per his advice, I went back to his clinic for further checkups.
Rohan
`Doctor, the medicines didn’t work,’ I claimed.
Doctor
He scratched his chin and said, `I checked your reports, it could have been cured by medicines only. But as it’s not working I would consult you to get admitted.’
Rohan
`What! Admit? In hospital? No, doctor please find some other way! I have never admitted myself in hospital ever before.’
Doctor
`So what? Just for a couple of days. I have looked into your reports. Getting admitted is necessary now.’
Rohan
After a lot of thinking and re-thinking, I agreed. He took the responsibility of everything, from getting an appointment to the tests and checkups during the admitted time. He was a trustworthy person, so I agreed.
After a day, he gave me the details of a hospital. The name of it being, `SMYS city hospital’. He had managed all and on the next day, I was on my special, separate room, in the hospital. ROOM NO. 31
Rohan
The room was exquisite. It was beautiful and hygienic. It looked nothing less than a very well furnished hotel room, but having bluish-green bed sheets, curtains, medical equipment and saline of course. This separate room had good service and the best thing - it was way distanced from the other rooms. This was because of Dr Arijit, he knew I didn’t like to be in the crowd. I appreciate secrecy and privacy.
It was around 10 AM in the morning when I first entered the hospital room. The nurse allocated for my room showed me the room and provided me with the necessities, and in regular intervals, either nurses or doctors used to come and check me up. I was now getting comfortable there.
Who's there!? part.1
Soon, the day approached to its end and dusk began to take over.
I could sense it when the external noises became silent. The only thing audible was the tip-tap sound of the people walking down the aisle, which was quite scary because of the echoes it was producing.
And especially if you are alone in an isolated room, you are bound to feel a bit creepy. But I wasn’t so tensed, as I was courageous and I felt the hospital was a safe place.
Rohan
Who knew I would be proved wrong.
It was 6 PM when I was last checked by the doctor. I was given an injection and a few medicines and was told to rest. Since the time I was admitted, I felt the pain was not as severe as before. I could feel the slow relief the medications were giving me.
I was by now considering my decision of getting admitted to be good, but actually it wasn’t.
The night was growing dark. I was given dinner at 8 PM. I had my dinner and prepared myself for sleep. I was not habituated to go to bed early but in hospitals, you have to sleep and wake up early.
Rohan
I tried to get into sleep but I couldn’t. I twisted myself a few times, covered myself up in a blanket but nothing worked. But after cuddling in bed for one complete hour, I fell asleep.
I was in deep sleep when I heard a knock at the door. I woke up all of sudden. I got up to sit on the bed. I scratched my eyes.
Rohan
`Who’s there?’ I shouted.
