He was brought already with an oxygen mask on his face. A brave and cute grandfather who fought desperately for his life.
In his eyes reads: "I trust you." But soon the consciousness disappeared, the pulse barely detectable, 67 is a very critical age ... But doctors are the greatest optimists of this world, we never lose hope. 7 days with ALV apparatus, endless droppers.
But the patient is unconscious, there are no relatives, no one came to visit the poor old man((
And then one morning, when I was changing another dropper, I saw clear blue eyes, like an ocean, and this pristine smile of a baby, as if this patient had just been born or just slept well like in childhood.
He smiled and asked if he was interfering with my work. I was delighted and called the doctor: "The patient is conscious!" “Conscious? I have to die,” - grandfather replied outrageously. It’s good that the patient was asleep and didn’t know anything, didn’t know that he was on the verge of life and death, that no one has been visiting him for the seventh day ...
But the patient was very slowly recovering, the dynamics of recovery was weak.
In the morning I brought him homemade chicken broth, as it is always better than in the hospital. During the meal, I learned that this man had given 40 years to school, working there as a labor teacher and director. He is alone cause he is an immigrant from Donbass (war zone). I have a small salary, but it allowed me to buy some medicines for him. I brought him clothes that my dad once wore.
And only thanks to human care and a kind word, he recovered and returned to his former life.
Now we are friends and grandfather Sergei teaches my nephews to design a ship.
Smile to the world always come back to us!
