A Visit to A Hospital
Last week, we, the students of Class X, went on a visit to a hospital organized by our school. We were accompanied by our Biology teacher, Mr. Z. I. Khan. As we entered the hospital through the Casualty Department, we were immediately struck by the painful sights before us. Many emergency patients were lying on stretchers, and doctors and nurses were rushing around, attending to them with great urgency.
We then went upstairs and looked into the male and female wards. After that, we visited the children's ward, where we spent some time with the young patients. We had brought sweets with us, which we distributed among the children. Some of them were so ill that they couldn’t even eat. We felt genuinely sorry for them. We talked to a few of them and tried to cheer them up with kind words and smiles.
Afterwards, we were taken to see the X-ray department, the surgical wing, and the pathology section. We also attended a short lecture on general health and hygiene, which was informative and eye-opening.
At one point during the visit, I got separated from the group. While looking for my classmates, I opened a random door and entered a private cabin. Inside, I found a frail old lady lying alone in bed. Surprisingly, she didn’t seem upset by my unexpected visit. Instead, she smiled and invited me to stay for a while. She asked me about myself and shared that I reminded her of her grandson. Before I left, I promised to visit her again.
This visit to the hospital was truly a memorable and moving experience. It made me realize the value of health and the importance of showing kindness and empathy to those who are suffering.
