A trip to Bathinda that changed my outlook
It is very natural for anyone to feel disturbed when a loved one undergoes any kind of pain. Love and support is all you can provide them along with arranging medical attention that can provide relief at the earliest.
My mother and I recently visited my aunt in Bathinda, one of the oldest towns of Punjab, named after the Bhati Rajput Kings. As her husband is stationed there in one of the thermal plants, she takes care of the house and provides tuition classes to school students residing in the neighborhood. This was my first visit to a small city in Punjab. Earlier I had only got an opportunity to visit Chandigarh, Amritsar and Ludhiana, which are all big cities with large roads, hospitals, movie theatres and malls.
The second day of our stay, my mother & aunt went shopping to some local market. As I was not feeling too well, I decided to stay home and watch T.V. I persuaded them to have a good time, shop and bond over coffee. I wish I knew that when I meet them next, happiness would be one thing surely out of the window.
In a couple of hours since they were gone, I finished watching two back to back movies and eating as much as I could find. With no sign of their whereabouts for four hours, I decided to call my mother. The phone constantly rang but she did not pick. This gave me a little tension, and i called my uncle who was at work. He immediately picked me from home and we went to the market where they went shopping. After enquiring at few places we got to know that they had met with an accident and were taken to a nearby hospital. This news gave me goose bumps and I completely lost all control on myself. My uncle started calling all Hospitals in Bathinda frantically until we found out where they were.
After 3 hours of search, we finally found them at Max Hospital. My mother was hurt badly and was admitted, my aunt had some bruises but was immediately discharged. The doctors at the hospital explained my mother’s situation and insured that she was not in danger and will be fully recovered in a week. This gave me some strength and I could finally relax. With the grace of god & the extraordinary care the staff & doctors at Max Hospital, Bathinda showed, my mother recovered in a couple of days. I now believe that it is not necessary that one can get good treatment only in a big city. The whole holistic approach of the hospital towards the patient is what matters, whether in a big city or a small one.
