“Bullets Have No Eye!!”

Well, at least that is the closest translation I got from a friend to the peribahasa “Malang Tak Berbau” *LOL* Thanx, dude. You saved me the trouble of having to blog in BM, haha :))

I have always had tremendous fear for hospitals ever since my first visit to one, and even more so when I have to be admitted for an operation (I have had about 4 to 5 operations since I was 6 or 7 years old). The stay there was terrible! Not only did I hate the smell, I was afraid to see all kinds of different cases coming in to be admitted. With all kinds of gadgets, wires and machines accompanying them, sometimes metals and screws and whatnots that can be seen protruding through their skin horrifies me!! (It is really horifying, I kid you not!!) After the last operation I had back in 1994, I told myself that I would not want to go through any of these ordeals again. Neither would I want to set foot in a hospital for no apparent reason.

However, I am somehow “doomed” to have to make endless round trips to this same old, scary-looking place fortnightly for therapy sessions. This patient happened to be at the physiotherapy room this morning and it looks as if he was only in his 20’s. He probably would have met with an accident that left him paralysed, therefore not being able to do much except breathe thru a tiub stuck in his nostrils. His mom and sis were there to attend to him. He still has a long way to go but this just had to happen to him *sigh* A close friend of mine recently underwent a minor opt. Unfortunately for her, it further led to other complications and she was required to frequent the hospital for follow up. With the side effects and all, it caused her discomfort and some other uneasy feelings. Having to face a trauma like that at such a young age is definitely an uncalled for situation. “Bullets have no eye”, really!! It doesn't matter who you are, or how old you are!! Like little Kher Huey who lost her mom to cancer at even a younger age. *Sigh*

Lord, help my paranoia!! Please let me never have to face something like that!! I speak forth Isaiah 53:4-5 in Jesus’ name!!
