GIVING IS BLISSFUL

-


Giving is taking and many of the times it gives us pleasure. And I always try to gain something enlightening by giving something that I have. Offering blood for someone to save his/her life is really a blissful.


Some days back, I got opportunity to save a lady by donating blood and I felt  like I wanted it for some years. It was blissful.

Twenty-five-year lady came to Gulmi District Hospital 3 days back with secondary PPH (bleeding from womb at least 24 hours after delivery). It was 3 hours west far from our hospital by vehicle. When we attended her, her consciousness was ok, blood pressure was 70/50 mmHg and pulse was fast and thready. Her vein immediately opened and the blood was sent for amount estimation and grouping. The good news was it was  common blood group that is my blood group, the B positive and the bad news was her blood pressure was going down and the bleeding had not stopped yet. She was pale and shivering. All the clots were removed and bi-manual massage was done followed by oxytocin( a drug to contract womb) in a drip via one vein and another vein was opened for fast saline water.

It was almost midnight, blood was drawn from me was transfused on her. We were able to manage stopping bleeding and replace the blood that she had lost on the way from her home.

Well next day, she was smiling and her husband was happy that she was saved.

When we serve the patients and they smile back for, that is eternal.

Thanks all the team: Doctors, paramedics, lab people and obviously nursing team.

I was studying in government high school in grade eight. It just came out in my mind that I should join boarding school. I just shared my desire with my mom.  'Daamlo badhna mann lagyo?!' She said, 'you are doing well in government school, so….'  'Well mom, I wanna do more.' I replied immediately. She then readily accepted. Dad also encouraged me to do more. School's principal was asked about my entry in that boarding school. I was ready for entrance test and was waiting in admin office. When principal knew that I was the first boy in government school, he just accepted me in same grade though I was prepared for grade seven. I even needed not appear in the entrance test. Everybody was looking at me. Some talked to me some were yet to talk. Since I was new, every teacher asked my introduction. All the regular students were in their own flock and I was with my high school friend who also admitted just one month before I did. People did not accept me easily a...

What comes in your mind when you find yourself where there is no telecommunication, no electricity and no internet-you will completely paralysed; something you will feel breathlessness. Well guys, it was same for me when I was posted in Sallibazar, a town on the bank of Veri river in Salyan district on its western border with Surkhet. When I started my journey from Kohalpur to this place, I was playing with the aggression of Veri river's flood. The road sometimes touches it and sometimes goes far away from it. There is no way when vehicles get accident, it will be swallowed by Veri river. I have blurring recall of Babai, Harre, Chhinchu,Mehelkuna, Botechaur, Pokhre, Reikar, Baluwa sangrahi, Amra and finally Sallibazar. When I got gradually accustomed to this place, it was heavenly touchy completely different from internet world. I found it as a real world and beautiful than the prototype virtual lifestyle in urban areas. I got up at 7 AM and do some light exercise and take break...

After completing some administrative procedures I set out for Bajura District. Driving down to Kohalpur, moving through Bardiya and crossing the Karnali Bridge, we stopped by in Chisapani where we took lunch with fish curry in an eatery. Thereafter we moved towards Dhangadi where we entered the field office of WHO-IPD and talked about technical activity about MR campaign in Far western development region.
