Like everyday, even today i was there in medical premises taking my evening walk . I just walked nearly 100 m, i saw an old couple sitting on road side. The old uncle asked me about Government medical hospital , so i told him, sir come with me even i am going that side .So They both started to follow me . And eventually Uncle came parallel to me. Then i tried to take some basic info about them.
So, Old fellow told me ,that they have come all the way from 450 kms. And they were supposed to meet a doctor at super specialty hospital .But the doctor was not available ,so Super specialty management team asked them to go and get admit in gov.medical. So, i just took them to gov medical. Both were 70+. somehow with their shivering legs we reached gov.medical hospital .While we were coming He told me that,his wife ie old lady was their in gov medical hospital yavatmal for 12 days and he is facing some gastrointestinal issue .
When we reached ,Gov.medical reception , person asked me about patient and everything . Then, he told me that they need to take out their card then they will be examined by doctor. so, i completed the entire process. After, getting done with entire process doctor who was an intern examined the Old lady. and after going through all documents , he told me that , he cannot make her admit as, doctor is not available . And he asked the old fellow to take her wife back and come after 3 days.
As, it was getting already evening, Both of them got little tensed . Even i was feeling sad for them. But i had no other option. So, i asked them what to do now? They told me that they will stay back here in hospital premises . So i was little shocked ,how will they stay here for couple of days. So, they requested me to take them back to super specialty hospital where they can stay back.
On, the way back from where we started this small journey, i asked them about their son and daughter . I told them to come with their son or daughter while coming to hospital specially gov hospitals . For a While Old fellow Didn’t utter a word. And after a minute he started speaking, His eyes were wet, Voice was shivering, He told me that, they have 3 sons and 2 daughters. But, no one cares for them. All of them are at good position. THis was really heartbreaking for me just to hear it.
This old couple has small part of land with them, and just to teach their kids they sold the entire land and now their kids just left them alone .They told me that even at this age they go out for work .Their financial condition is so poor , and none of their son or daughter come to meet them or help them.
So, Question rises , do they really deserve this?? this is just single case ,many other stories are around us .
