Today,I stand in a strange place.
I do my rounds of the hospital ward and I wonder where I am .
I have two ladies who have undergone total abdominal hysterectomies,one gentleman who
has undergone resection anastomosis who has just started liquid diet,one gentleman who
had his obstructed herniae released and underwent a herniorhaphy with a mesh
insertion,two ladies who delivered by caeserian section,one lady with a breast abscess
who underwent incision and drainage,one patient post-snake-bite who underwent skin
grafting,one patient who has come for exploration of the sole of his feet for probable
foreign body.One gentleman who has presented with a bad wound infection
post-electrocution for wound debridement.
I also happen to have a lady with unstable angina,a young kid on ambu ventilation for
snake-bite ,a few patients with fevers and acute gastr-enterites.
By the grace of God they all are doing well.

recover and go home.I have seen a tiny baby rejected by the government hospital
brought in gasping for breathe sheet white,slowly coming back to life while all of us
awaited for the life to go out of him.The same baby the next day during the morning
prayers sat on his knees with his hands folded together while we prayed .He was all of
two and a half years.
I have seen a young boy in his late teens pushed away by a local nursing home in acute
respiratory distress and septic shock saying in between gasps of breath that he did
not want to leave our hospital.We safely transported him to a higher centre in
Jabalpur in our ambulance and a nurse-aid for a PEEP.
I stand here ...suspended....,it seems in mid-air,uncomfortably comfortable in Lord
Jesus' grace.
Fifteen days of earned leave after working for two years,I was praying in a house group prayer and worship and pleading with the Lord to show me something ,when it was not forthcoming I surrendered to the Lord and prayed let your will be done and then I saw the Lord walking up a winding road and deep in my spirit I knew He was calling me to follow Him .I did not know where to but I thanked the Lord and said yes. I have been living more in the unseen world than the seen world. Suddenly out of the blue I received a message from Dr Arpit asking me to replace them in Madhipura for a fortnight. I needed to go because things were getting a little intense and I needed sometime to step back and mull some things over. I had no idea why the Lord was taking me back to the old world of EHA , mission hospitals and friends from the yore. Travelling to Madhipura , I continnued to ask the Lord, 'Why this road?
