a mother's woes

Allan was a 31 year old male, whom I admitted due to persistent abdominal pain. He is married with a 1 year old son, previously worked as an office employee until this illness which made him stop working. He was admitted in the hospital accomapnied by his wife and mother for a 2 month history of abdominal pain.

in prayer

As i walked through the male ward of internal medicine, i saw a patient sitting at the side of his bed, head bowed in silent prayer, beside him was a priest. It was one of the most solemn scenes i have witnessed.
