Entry 74, Sick
I hope I would not have to spend alot of time in the hospital in my life. I have been to the hospital a few times, when I got stitches for running into a cabinet in the supermarket, or getting stitches for jumping off a set of three stairs and knocking my head on the floor. I have been in the hospital for my relatives as well, when my cousin was being born in this world, we stayed in the hospital for quite a while. I hate hospitals, the smell of the place simply can give me chills down my spine. It is just weird for me to think that in that building, there are people with missing limbs and the building is basically the bridge between life and death. Babies are being greeted the first time through this place, but at the same time, the less fortunate, are leaving this world, through that very building. Just the thought of having people dying a couple of stories away from me, simply frightens me to my very soul. I know that it is a place people go for to get better, but that place does not have the happiest atmosphere, families are being greeted by news of their relatives passing away, or anxious families waiting outside of the operation room for their relatives. Frankly speaking, I hate hospitals, the less time I spend there, the better.
How many stitches did you get in your life so far? It sounds like there are quite a lot over here.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the atmosphere of the hospital either, and the smell too. It is combination of chemicals, sickness and sometimes you feel like the smell of death is mixing in there too.
