How brittle our life is....

Being a doctor is not an easy profession. Sometimes, lives of their patients are in their hands. In every hospital, whenever there is a patient in critical condition you will hear the words "please do everything you can doc". But the reality is, no matter how great they are in their chosen fields, they really can't prolong the lives of their patients.

Two weeks later, I saw one of our aluminum installer named Bong leaning on the side of our delivery truck with arms holding each other between his legs and shivering. I ask him why, he said he had a flu. I told him to go home and get rest, he said its better for him not to treat his flu seriously cause if he do so, his flu might get serious, instead he go to work to do his unfinished jobs. But he can't even manage to walk in a normal way for being dizzy. His fellow installer Adonis brought him to the nearest clinic when he saw Bong in bad condition.

There he had his blood examined for he might be carrying a dengue virus as theorize by his attending physician for his "on & off" flu which is one symptoms of having a dengue virus. After
a few hours, the results came out and it says he is negative in carrying a dengue virus. He then brought by Adonis to his apartment to have rest. That night he began having trouble breathing. His relatives were informed by his landlord of his condition and even ask them to come to attend Bong.

His brother decided to bring Bong to their province for them to able to monitor his condition. For Bong's safety, his landlord allow his brother to their decision knowing that Bong will be in good hand with his brother.

But, instead of bringing Bong to the hospital, his brother choose Bong to stay to their home to have a good rest. The following day, the only thing Bong can move is his eyes. He can't even talk nor open his mouth to eat. His brother begin to panic and rushed Bong to the hospital. There he had a series of examination and later found out that he had a sepsis.

Last night I have received a text message from his girlfriend saying DEI MORTUARY SERVICES, 301 Shaw Blvd. Mandaluyong city...... there is where Bong's cadaver given mortuary services.

It really shocked me, I almost can't believe that. It even turn my hair up.

Sometimes this things affects us very seriously, but we all must learn how to turn every negative into positive for us to see the positive side of every bad things that happened to us.


This shows us how brittle our life is. No one knows what will happen next or when or how we will die. Life..... as said by an apostle is as brittle as a spider web.

It may really be hard to admit that sometimes the one's we treasure the most is the one who will leave us.......


and will never come back.......


forever.
