What on earth can she do?


Dwarika Pd. Shrestha
What on Earth, she can do ? When she has to do nothing but lying down unconscious and static on the bed since 5 months plus last. Despite that a big volume of water (in terms of money) was flown in the rivers like Bagmati and Bishnumati by her family member during the season of rain Jesth, Asar,, Srawan "n Bhadra, 2075 (May, june, july and August ...,2018) in Kath mandu and also in Ganges water in New Delhi, India she was left lying down senseless and immovable on the bed back home in Kathmandu. She was the patient of the disease which is yet to be diagnosed most probably.
She, Sirjana, a school teacher and a mother of two kids - a son and a daughter, was helped travel in many big medical centers in Nepal and India namely Grandi, Neuro (a short name of the Hospital named after a name of neurologist) in Nepal and Medan in New Delhi, India. And back in Nepal, the home country, she was admitted in Mediciti at Nakkhu, Lalitpur. All of these Hospitals were built lately with sufficient accessibility of modern equipment and professipnals as well thus ruled out a rich rate of medical service charges and the medicines over the poor commoner of the developing country were tired of working with her health problem. She was later admitted to the Rm. # 5 in the big and senior most Hospital in the country, Bir Hospital, nearby Ratna Park, Kathmandu.. Like a say "Back to Mangalman" to the genuine Kathmanduits. One fellow was asking, whether the case was really a new challenge to the 'modern Medical Science'. The patient is lying down senseless and staric still, virtually like a dead body. She was administered some of major as well as minor operations too already while travelled in all of the well named Hospitals mentioned above.
Being a middle class family member in the developing country, if one has to survive in a big crisis of unidentified, costly and painful sufferings by health amidst the ill-secured provisions of health as well as economic possibilities was, of course, really a big tragedy to her, her family and the society concerned.
People are born not simply to eat and die. He/she also belongs to some thoughts, ideas, ambition and aimed to reach to certain point of his/her satisfaction of his/her good deeds. He/she also must have dreamt to reach to certain point of satisfaction of good deeds in relation to his/her kids, other family member/s and the society concerned. Obviously, the school teacher of 40s was there with similar type of vision and thus shared her experiences of 40 years past with students and the friends around earlier and expected an end result of the deeds, but in vain.
The new development and ever changing technology in the latest world caused the developing countries to become more poor and unprogressive. They have become victim of poverty, poor education system and face lack of many essential requirements for the cause of development. In the meantime the nuisance flared up in the field of medicine in the name of medical advancement with new Hospital buildings and the number of man power produced from each and every Tom,...Harry medical institution have threatened the life of Nepal in general. Mere money is not the matter. Big money matters discipline, honesty sincerity and also applying the Ethics he/she had learned while working for building up his/her career earlier and love to the country and the people the country belongs to. .."Jaya Nepal".
