Reflection

Sometimes, we sacrifice our own happiness so that those we love could gain theirs.

We have this patient that we have been caring for the past 15 days. He has ALL and he’s on pain medication 24/7. He looks pale, his platelet count has reached 9 (that’s roughly 9,000) and so he was so prone to bleeding. He has bruises all over and he can’t stand on his own. He just lie on his bed for the most part because he’s tired and feeling weak. He’s only 31 years old with a small kid. It must have been so tough being there on his situation. Not being able to see your kid because your sick and you don’t even know if you will get well. Sometimes, it gets frustrating for him not being able to do the things he wants to do. He might or he might not recover. He needed platelet transfusion every now and then, and if I am B+ I would gladly donate, but I’m not. Most people I know are O+. I really want to help him, but I can only do so little. I pray that he will get better soon.
