This is a story about a young patient named Hira and a kind Nurse:
One day, the Nurse was standing at a beside of a young patient, she wondered if she could make same recovery like others. Hira had received severe head and spinal injuries as she was hit by a speeding bus while crossing a busy road. She took her lifeless arms in her hands and tried to do several exercises on her but in vain. Also she asked her younger sister to come and talk to her,thinking that the voice of near and dear one might activate her nearly dead neurons she could see but not talk. Her eyes showed a certain helplessness.Perhaps she wanted to say" please help me".
A fellow nurse came near me and asked,'' what are you doing''?fighting a lost battle?''She was shocked at first to hear a colleague making a hopeless comment. She replied"I am trying to make her brain process by her sisters voice. Mean while ,a senior doctor on duty walked in.He gave me in an ironic smile and said if you spend most of your duty hours on one patient we will have to recruit more nurses to attend the other patients.Please go and see other patients.We do not have much for her.
Nurse was up set.She knew that she had suffered from neural damage,but she needed to be given a chance.She went to the senior nurse and told her that She wanted to help this patient and work with more closely.The doctors thought that she was a hopeless case and bed must be spared for others patients.She was shocked to hear this.The patient family also requested her to help them.She could not leave her patient fighting a lost battle on her own. She made up her mind to risk her career and help the patient. She requested the senior doctor to allow her attend this young helpless patient. Somehow she was able to make the patient stay in the ICU.She continued to work on hira but she was not making much recovery. She did not lose help. She work with patience and kept doing exercises with her. Gradually she could see he making a slight recovery.She was thrilled to see that hira lifted her little finger. All was not lost!
After 3 months she came to hospital and see her patient standing on her foot.For a minute She was shocked but after her family came to her with their smiles on their face. She thanks to ALLAH.
