![]() It’s like being transported to another world. The peace, the calm, the slowing down, embracing #nature & the #beauty that surrounds us. ![]() It’s not a luxury, but truly a necessity of the human spirit. ![]() It's nice, Meenu says, to believe, "God couldn't be everywhere, so he made nurses and mothers." It's nice when someone blesses her, Meenu says. They are the #hospitality of the hospital. and so many other women who dispense care and compassion without prescription-and often, with very little appreciation. Nor do Beenu Samoi, Sheeja Verghese, Julie Roi, Sindu Kaleshan, Rosamma V Nair, Alice George, Grace Gosh, Pramila David. She doesn't expect a thank-you, even though she deserves one. Whether it's a sick patient or a bomb blast, whatever touches this hospital touches me too," Meenu says. She, too, studied nursing at the #NursingSchool here to take over from where her mother left. Her mother came here as a nurse when the hospital opened in 1972. I still remember that caress even though it's been several years since she came here."įour days were all it took for a stranger to become a warm memory for the nurse who was born a premature baby in the labour room of Santokba in 1974. "As she was wheeled into the lift, she caught my hand and kissed it several times. It was left to Meenu to cajole her and assure her of better care in the new hospital. And did it in a way that when the time came to shift Dephanie to a #Delhi hospital, the older woman refused to budge from Santokba. She did it after a yes from her family and Matron. It meant going home at 4 pm after the daily shift and returning at 8 pm the same day to return to her morning shift without a break for four consecutive days. It also meant getting up several times at night to administer medicine or pay attention to the patient. But it meant leaving my daughter and in-laws behind for a complete stranger." They were giving me 500 #rupees extra for night duty. ![]() "Please help me," Dephanie's imploring eyes said it all. The older woman wanted company through a sleepless night- and her only attendant, a niece, had expressed her inability to do so. What do you say?" The child smiled and said, "Alright, mummy." The mother donned the Sister's white uniform and trotted off to keep night vigil for Dephanie Jordan, 78, who was in excruciating pain because of a fractured limb.Įvery day, the English woman would ask Sister Meenu if she would return in the evening. ![]() The then sister in charge of the super deluxe rooms was seeking concurrence before she could commit the time - that rightfully belonged to the child - to duty beyond the regular hours. " #Hospital mein ek naani maa hain," Meenu George told her young school-going daughter.
