An Eventful Day

Yesterday was an eventful day for me.

It started with a friend, CYM. He had his gallstones removed. This is considered a minor surgery considered today's advanced medical technology. What the doctor did was to cut a few incisions, then insert a tiny camera (For looking around) and a vacuum tube to suck out the stones.

Fairly minor and safe. But CYM died due to complications from this surgery. Somehow, a few hours after his surgery, he complained of heart palpitations and difficulty in breathing. The doctor noticed that his blood pressure was dropping and blood sugar level highly levitated.

Another surgery was performed because the doctor suspected internal bleeding as the cause of his dropping blood pressure. Sure enough, he detected my friend's liver was slowly bleeding. A majority of his veins from his liver were slowly bleeding.

Later, CYM's kidneys started to fail due to lack of blood flowing to the kidney. Then failed totally and the doctor had to order dialysis.

Somehow, to cut the story short, he died within hours later. I'm so sorry for his entire family. Especially his frail mother whom his family members said did not know how to break the sad news to. I just hope his mom would take the news calmly.

Yesterday too saw another friend,LSF, a girl, entered a mental asylum due to double personality. As her old self, she would be pleasant and gentle. Once another personality take over, she would become very aggressive and violent. She would even beat up her boss! Something in the fantasy of some of us. Right?

All's not that bad when I stumbled upon a long lost friend, YYS. At the same hospital where my first friend had his surgery. His wife bore him a baby girl. His second child. Both girls.

And while in the hospital too, I've received another news of yet another friend who delivered a baby boy this time, at another hospital. So yesterday was an eventful day for me.
