What I have heard quite often is that, if you get typhoid once, you wont get it for sometime thereafter (came to know from newspaper that the immune system gets developed into our own system and it would keep fighting against the influenza viruses)….
But, it wasn’t true in my case, I got a simple typhoid in 2007 (‘simple’ in the sense, the dilution ratio was very low and the period of suffering was just 1 week) and now this time the dilution ratio was pretty high of range 1:160 for type ‘O’ and 1:320 for type ‘H’.
According to my senses, I never had such a fever, which persisted for one week (105 degrees F max to 101 degrees F min).
Few good things, which I have learned during this two and half week period, are:
*) Some medical terms
*) Dos and Don’ts during Typhoid (in case for any fever)
*) Behaviors of some patients, who stayed along with me
*) Some really good service minded nurses (I’m not sure whether they felt the same, but my heart felt pounded once leaving them)
*) My instincts once again asked me ‘Senthil, some how you should have made to the medical field da…)
*) Health is really wealth (heard and preached these umpteen times, but when it comes to oneself, we real
Some things, which I really felt bad, were…
*) at this young age itself, I was troubling someone for my sake…(my cousin)
*) felt like wasting a whole lot of time… (Idiot! when in office, you often feel, “Wont I get a nice break… and when you get it, you yell at it)
Science Vs Belief
Once when, some of our relatives, came to home during this period, they asked me to tonsure my head, once I get recovered (Stupid fellows, why should I save my head, I wont)
The next day, my cousin said, a doctor was explaining in TV that, due to excess of medication (Tablets, trips, injection…) we might start losing of hair and it is better to have your head tonsured, so it paves way for new growth of hair. Nothing doing, immediately shaved my head after discharged from bed….
This generation gets it right, when something is proved…
