02/02/2011 is the most unforgettable memory to ever occured to me as it was my first ride in an ambulance as a patient. Vision was blurred, excruciating pain everywhere and my leg was a bloody mess with wounds n scratches.
When i was wheeled into A&E, i heard many complaints n plea of pain and attention. As my neck was strapped into the neck support, i couldnt see what was going on and so all kinds of imaginations rushed into me as i began to think of different scenarios. The interesting part is, the pain which i was experiencing earlier wasnt my top priority as i wish i could get up and offer any kind of aid possible to the other needy patients. I truly felt sorry and sympathetic towards them as i lay amongs them. The only thing i could do is to lie to the doctors that i m ok so they wouldnt need to spend any attention on me n would rather treat the others.
I was discharged as an outpatient and given 2 weeks mc which i don’t really need. Seeing the number of people givin me support and encouragement really inspires me and motivates me to heal both physically and mentally. Lessons were learnt and dollars burnt gave me a good idea what the kind of people that surrounds me and i hope i can be a good samaritan, friend, neighbour and son from now on.
