About the Book

My urgent admission at a NHS hospital and subsequent events leading to emergency surgical operation was intertwined by many high-octane events. I went through an emotional roller coaster. At times, it was stoic resignation to brutal truths. My family went through distressing days of our lives. At the same time, their perseverance and God's grace helped us to sail through the challenges. Despite initial chaos and uncertainty, this maiden hospital admission was a unique experience for me. To summarise, it was a positive experience with a successful outcome. Dealing with hospital staff across the hierarchy, silently observing events as they unfold at wards and corridors, having conversations with other patients, listening (or cross listening) to conversations are all great insights. I appreciated both patient and hospital perspectives. When things improved during the course of recuperation, I started observing closely NHS processes and their procedures executed to near perfection each minute, hour, and round the clock. Observing diagnostic instruments and understanding their readings in itself was fun. I faithfully recorded timeline incidents, episodes, emotions and thoughts during my eight nights stay in my own hospital dairy.The NHS is one of the greatest British institutions. It is envy to every human across the world who is deprived of even basic health care by their own Government. The NHS served faithfully and gracefully generations of British citizens.This is a fact I believe each one of us must be proud of. However, sadly though The NHS has often became the centre of many controversies. Of late, very existence this great institution in the current form for current and future generations is in a quandary. This book is not intended to discuss the merits or lacuna. The question though is, why there are not many positive stories in the wider media vis-a-vis perennial mistreatment episodes or scandals that hit public headlines almost every day?During my stay, I observed closely and experienced first hand, the hard work put by every NHS staff. This does not mean, I haven't come across some odd characters. I have narrated such episodes in this book. By putting in the overall context, such episodes are far less compared to positive experiences.One need to have courage to give a positive feedback. To highlight a negative experience, charged up emotions are sufficient. This is a personal life saving personal narrative at a NHS hospital in England.
