The ultimate difficulty

My poor friend arjun had gone through the life’s more difficult path. But the way he managed was great. Off course still he is on the same way, typical part,. no more.

He is a govt. employee and earning 10k/month in Hyderabad. He had his sister and brother in his native. His father & mother both were diabetic patients and his father had additional problem with kidneys and mother with heart.One day he got a phone call from his home town saying that father’s health was not good. He immediately went his home town (Nellore, AP).Doctor told ,because of diabetes, 80% his father’s kidneys were damaged. He admitted his father in a multispecialty hospital in which the equipment for dialysis were available.

Dialysis process is an artificial purification of blood. Doctor will operate at the wrist of the patient to pullout 2 nerves, one for pulling out impure blood and other for pushing filtered blood into the patient's body.
This operation is called pitsulla operation. There will be a filter which takes the impure blood and filters it and pushes it back into the patient's body.This filter is external to the patient. We can say this instrument as an artificial kidney.

Usually doctors execute this dialysis process based on the working condition of kidneys in patient’s body. Weekly once,twice or thrice.

If the nerves at wrist are not supporting to get the blood and push the blood, then the doctor will do the pitsulla operation at the neck, even if it fails then he will do it at thighs.

Arjun’s father had gone through all these three kinds of pitsulla operations.

He was getting phone calls from his office as he had to complete some critical work.

It was so miserable and pathetic situation, I am not getting the words to tell you. There was a disease called chikun gunya spread over in that area and his mom also infected with that. It spread through mosquitoes.

He kept his brother at his father and his sister at his mother (He admitted her into another hospital which is famous in curing lung diseases…I mean chikun gunya).

He went back to Hyderabad and took leave and returned to home town.

His mother was not able to walk and not even able to talk as she had infection in her lungs. His father was undergoing dialysis process every day. (Tears….. :-().

That was 10th day of his father’s dialysis, his mother was discharged and she started walking slowly. He took her straight away to the hospital where his father was undergoing dialysis process.

Initially doctors didn’t allow his mom to see his farther as his father was going through dialysis. Arjun requested the doctor and took his mother to the dialysis room. That’s it.

In that room, his father was on the bed and the dialysis process was happening and his mother was stepping towards his father slowly. His father asked “How are you now?”. She replied “ok, I am fine”.“Did you eat lunch?” Asked his father with smiling face(Even though there was horrendous pain).“Yes” she said. “Ok, Take care” he said as if he is feeling all right.

It was an AC room, doctor said, take her out as she was also a patient and cold environment is not suitable to her. He took her to home. After 19 days of dialysis process his father died of heart attack during the process at midnight 1.20AM.
Hospital incharge told that he need to pay all the treatment cost to take the dead body to his native.
There was around 30k to pay at that midnight to take the dead body. The ATM was not working which was nearby to the hospital and he had to go 2 kilometers away from hospital. Finally after paying the amount, hospital people allowed to take out his father’s dead body. He felt so difficult to convey about his father’s death to his mother and sister who were in his native.


Helpless doctors, helpless god……..Really, this is the ultimate difficulty in one’s life.
