VISIT TO A HOSPITAL
VISIT TO A HOSPITAL
INTRODUCTION:
A visit to a hospital in a whole lot of experience in itself. During this summer, one of my Grandfathers was admitted to a hospital due to his illness. When I went to see him, I went to the hospital for the very first time in my life. My Grandfather was admitted in Billroth hospital.

ENQUIRY: As I entered the hospital, I saw people going here and there. First I saw a temple on the right side of the entrance, on the left side a outpatient pharmacy. Then I entered the hospital right side was the enquiry office and left side was the information office. I went to the enquiry office and enquired about the ward to find where my Grandfather was admitted.

DESCRIPTION OF INDOOR WARDS: Firstly, I passed through the surgical ward. I saw patients lying silently on their leads. Some of the patients had their arms and legs bandaged and plastered. Various Nurses and Doctors were attending on them. The Doctor was directing the nurse to give the necessary treatment and medicine. His way of talking itself was very consoling. Quietness was prevailing in the whole ward. In the next ward patients were lying pensively on their beds. From their faces, I guessed the pathetic pledge. The doctor came on rounds followed by other staff members. He enquired about the welfare of all the patients one by one and that too very sympathetically and patiently. He entered my Grandfather room for checking. He investigated what was the condition of my Grandfather and informed to take investigations like Blood, Urine, CT scan (abdomen) and endoscopy investigations.

THE VIEW OF INVESTIGATION ROOM: Then, I spoke with the nurse to show the investigation department to know what was the procedure to take place during the alone investigations. Next day, Morning when I again went to see my grandfather they took Blood sample of my grandfather and they adviced to take him to the CT scan department. I went with my grandfather to see the CT

    Hospitals often elicit surprising emotions from incoming patients; feelings of dread, mortality, and a loss of control. These emotions come contrary to the goal of a hospital: to heal, to help, and to provide a general sense of positivity. Of course the former emotions are valid, but they are seemingly over-dramatic with the goal of a hospital kept in mind. The author of this account carefully crafts his writing using diction, strong details, and a specific tone, to paint his hospital visit in a negative light, and to remind us all of why hospital visits are so terrifying.…

    I felt quite self-conscious when standing by the bedside. I did not know how conscious the patient was of the situation around her. It was obviously important to talk to her but initially I found it difficult to know what to say and was conscious of others listening to me and wondered if I was saying or doing the right things. The nurse present was very concerned she may die whilst we were washing her as he recognised Cheyne-Stokes breathing. I had never seen anyone this way before. I felt more upset seeing her deteriorate than I did when she died purely because I felt she was now free of the discomfort.…

    I looked around and I wasn’t in my room anymore, I was in the hospital during my grandpa’s surgery. The waiting room was cold and sterile and the smell of antiseptic was so strong I could taste it. Waves of uneasiness washed over me as if they were trying to drown me. My grandma and my mother were sitting in the room with me and they looked just as scared. I remembered how long my grandpa was in surgery to get his windpipe removed, how I had thought that I wouldn’t make it through the hours he was and that if he didn’t then I wouldn’t make it for much longer afterward.…
