A patient came to our polyclinic today. As usual we do the ECG by ourselves. 1st clip on the chest done,2nd clip done..3rd clip done and so on...
The last two clips...the green and the black one, wait. Where am I suppose to clip this? I lifted her dress..she's missing something.
LEGS. But still, she smiled at me.
"It's okay you can clip both here.Both my legs were amputated.Sorry doc".She smiled.
I was shocked. From the moment she entered the room she was smiling and never complaint. She was on a wheelchair and managed to climb on the bed by herself. "Do you need a hand?"
"No it's okay dear.I can do it".She smiled again.
I guess I don't have the rights to complain about how tough life is. Anymore.
