Dearest godfather,
I hope you have received my last mail.. I had been busy for the last few days looking after a young patient who was suffering from severe dehydration for the last two weeks? he was very serious and I tried to my level best to get the best treatment for him. But my senior doctor said that the patient have reached the terminal stage..i couldn?t do anything to the patient..i was just standing with the patient for so many hours before he died.. the test was positive for gastroenteritis.. but the senior ! doctor was suspecting meningitis and septicaemia..for so many hours I was giving so many bottles of dextrose and normal saline hoping that the patient will recover?but he was already in coma?the infection had spreaded all over the body especially in the brain..his respiratory function was very weak and there was so much aspiration.. for this my senior suggested to give him intravenous hydrocortisone..i gave him that put there was no improvement..i also gave him antibiotics because it was bacterial infection..intravenous metronidazole and ciprofloxazine..i was very helpless and sad and at the same time very angry with the patient because he should have come earlier when he got the disease..i could have easily helped him..he past away at around 10:15 p m?and then I got nothing to do just to pray for him..i felt very bad and I think I will take some time to recover from ! this experience? he was only 21 years old and I think it is a gr eat loss for his parents? he was a monk before but he decided to become civilian and do some business to help his parents? he is from a poor family and they have so many children in the family .. so went to some place near Mumbai in the south India region to help a businessman to help sell sweaters and other cloths and in return he will get paid for it..he was trying to earn some money for his family but three weeks ago he suffered from food poisoning..his employer didn?t took much care of him and he also took it very easily? so he was having diarrhea for two weeks? he also didn?t took proper method of rehydration..when his employee came to know that the he is very serous the he booked train ticket for him and returned him back to his family.. his family then brought him to me and asked me to help ! him..the patient at time could talk a bit but not properly because his tongue was dry?he faintly said ?please help me??I tried to help him but he was already about to die.. godfather I am feeling very sad thai couldn?t help him.. after two days I helped his family to carry his dead body and burn his body..
Godfather,.. it is very important that every family should keep W H O O R S solution in their home.. one can have diarrhea anytime so rehydration is most important?even if he haven?t go medicine but the rehydration is must..please always keep this in mind..
Rest I am very fine and taking very good care of myself?please eat well and take good care.. do not put too much of work load on yourself.. everything can be done when body and mind is healthy.. always try to find time to relax your mind and body.. I love you so much and I don?t want anything to happen to you.. I will always pray for you godfather?
Regards to the family ..
With lots of love
