Uncertainty Of Life

I had recently seen a perfectly young gentleman with good job and secured future for him.

He had just an appendicitis symptoms which my junior doctors during further assessment felt a mass at right lower abdomen.

 

They thought it is a benign mass and can be treated  conservatively.So they planned to discharge the patient with appointment to follow up at the clinic on later date.

When I reviewed him in the ward. I requested him to get operated, in view of the mass and the pain which troubling the patient.

It turned out to be an extensive malignancy of the abdomen and primary origin from which organ is not known intraoperatively and histological too.

I was shocked and felt pity for the patient.

When  I told him about the findings and outcome at my follow up in the clinic.He was crying inconsolably.

To further add salt to the wound, it turned out  to be an advance cancer of the abdomen.No treatment are available basically.He may succumb to the malignancy in matter of time.

As life is very uncertain.We don’t compare our life with the life of people on right or left  of us .We just continue and imbibe the journey of us till it ends.

It is in the hands of Almighty to decide on it.
