AN ANGEL IN SUIT,A TRUE LIFE STORY

in #health7 years ago

images (2).jpgI had a really emotional day at work today. Had this patient rushed in,a pregnant woman in labour. She had laboured for about 48hours in the house of a traditional birth attendant.

In a third world country such as Nigeria,there's no universal health insurance and out-of-pocket health care is quite expensive ,this explains why pregnant women chose to give birth in churches and at traditional birth attendant's house instead of going to the hospital for proper obstetric care.

So back to my story,the lady was dehydrated,tired and worn out,the baby was in distress and could be dead the next minute,she was in need of an emergency intervention.
But guess what? She was without money,not even a penny,she was rushed in by a good samaritan who left almost immediately.

Just when we were wondering how best we could help her,this man walked in to visit his sister who delivered hours earlier,he heard about the sorry situation and decided to foot all her bills.
She had an emergency Caeserean section and the man paid for the procedure,the drugs and every damn thing.
He also gave her money to buy baby clothes and feeds.

She was so happy she cried,to her the man was simply an angel in a suit.
Mother and child are alive,well and happy courtesy of this act of kindness.

Let's be kind in our own little ways in our little corners,little drops of kindness from you and me makes a mighty ocean and makes the world a happy place.
Put a smile on someone's face today,let love lead.❤❤
