Love your HEART

While I'm reading the email forwarded by a friend "A Chat with Dr. Devi Shetty (Heart Specialist)", it remind me of a patient.

I get to know this patient while i had my internship in Hospital Serdang, this patient is male and age around 3o years old. I have been doing the translation between the patient and the doctor because the patient do not understand English and the Cardiology clinic just a neighbour to the counseling department and i I'm the only Chinese was there. And the doctor can't speak Malay language, i guess he just came back from oversea. Hmm...another BANANA...hehe!

According to the doctor, the patient condition is severe, and the patient do not want to take any aspirin tablet due to the negative effect that he had. But the doctor insists him to continue to take the same medicine or else he has to undergo heart surgery, and there is no 100% for him to recover even though undergo the surgery. But the patient do not want any surgery and do not want to take the medicine, he would like to change for another type of medicine. But too bad, his condition is too severe already and he has to listen to doctor advice.

He had told me that he was a heavy smoker and alcoholic, and he end up with heart disease! He said he was so regret and he is still young but end up with that kind of disease...he looked sad and hopeless while he told me his condition, he even said he dun care what will going to happen to him, if the GOD want him to die, he can't do anything!

I felt empathy, and I'm wondering how is he now? Hope that he will recover soon but according to the doctor, the possibility for him to recover is really hard because his condition is severe. We always see the advertisement has advertise "Love our heart, if u do not want lost the person u love", but how many of us do care and aware of it? Most of the time we aware of the consequences that going to hit us from the bad habit that we practice in live, but we tend to ignore it and keep telling own selves"i won't be so unlucky!!!!" Can u predict that you're lucky enough??

I'm sure that if there is another chance for the patient, he will never let himself fall into the bad habit and now end up suffering from heart disease, that is not only physically suffered, it is also psychological suffered! Poor thing~

So LOVE YOUR HEART! We can't live without the heart!
