Last but one week has been a rewarding and a humbling experience.Took parents for their annual health check-up ,besides mom had been complaining of tooth-ache and was spiking a slight temperature off and on.Walking through Manipal in Gangtok,it made me realise what a blessing the place is for the people pf Gangtok.I remember my brother-in-law talking about the Manipal group of hospitals as to how the founder actually was a visionary and had made a vow to bring state of art health facilities to the villages and to bring the people of the cities to the villages seeking good health services.They have achieved it upto a certain extent.It was reassuring to note that Mr Narayanmurthy had also been present during laying of the foundation stone.For the people of Sikkim who have all their lives rushed off to Siliguri for minimal health problems ,this is indeed a blessing.
The dentist was a kind fellow who effortlessly took out the tooth with 'the caries' which made things so much easier for mom.The routine blood showed a creatinine of 2 which was worrying with a minimally elevated urea which came back to around normal value with plenty of fluids.The ultrasound showed minimal parenchymal disease which otherwise was normal.
Dad continues to have the prostate problem and has been resumed on fenasteride.For my parents who are all of 82 and 88 years ,I have a lot to be grateful to the Lord for.
Mom's fever subsided beautifully with the antibiotics she took for the tooth,I suspected an abscess but the dentist thought if it was there it was minimal and would be controlled with the antibiotics and the extraction.I am grateful to the doctors and staffs of Manipal.They sure are doing their best ,the ethics of a hospital evident in the way it is run.I wish nearer home things would improve practically.It is not so much the resources as it is the lack of monitering system in the daily running of the hospital.I think the government doctors in the administration should have exposure in set ups like Manipal to put the system in place,I am sure they would do a good job with monitering as well.
Just a few days more before I leave for Kachwa.
Home felt like heaven after a week in Gangtok.The house was flooded with fresh organic vegetables like cucumber,bitter gourd,tomatoes,chillies,australian pumpkin,long gourd....and so on much to all of our delight.
If things go as planned mom should resume school by Monday.
I thank the Lord for keeping my parents in good health and giving us the red-alert in time to take action when required.
Blessed parents are a great treasure, so precious....must be a portion of the treasure in jars of clay ,God gives us...
