Special act of a nurse I

I was attending lady in labor, when suddenly another lady was rushed in with profuse bleeding PV and excruciating pain lower abdomen, accompanied by two small children. I instantly recognized this lady, she received four units of blood transfusion few days before. Vitals signs revealed that she was in shock and immediate management was initiated. She required another unit of blood and I told the children to call for donors. In the mean time I was attending the delivery case and few minutes later sister Tal came with a unit of blood in hand. I excitedly asked her, “Ena haruko donor ayo? “Ayai na!” she told, “Aanta koley deyo?” I asked, “Maro Bura bolayo nee” which means she called her husband and made him to donate blood to this lady in her care. This is how my colleagues are, very generous……

So with one unit transfused, the patient was stabilized and we could transfer to Gelephu Hospital. I am in doubt whether this patient and their children will ever remember this incident, but I would always remember this moment, the special act of a nurse…..
