Solace's hospital was a perfect clinic where many people tried to get treatment when they fell sick. This hospital had so many amenities such as general and private wards, presidential treatment, excellent staff in service delivery, and an ambulance to convey emergency patients from one place to another, and many more. People came not just for treatment but to connect with the atmosphere of this hospital.
One rainy day, there was a fatal accident on the highway very close to Solace Hospital. Among the survivors were a young man, a teenager, and an old man. They were rushed to this hospital for immediate treatment. The young man among them was unconscious to the extent that he was in a coma that made the doctor recommend an intensive care unit (ICU) for him. After some months, he regained his consciousness. But he had lost his memory because he could not recognize his family and friends again. They became strangers to him.
Anxiety set in.
Ah! Doctor. What can we do next to make him recognize us again? Look at the way he was looking at our daughters as if they were not his children. Said Madam Cecilia.
“Dr. Abdullah said to be honest with you, we have to exercise patience for the time being. We should thank God for this development. Many people used to be in a coma for more than a year, but his case is different. I believe with time things will change for the better.”
“Hmm, but how long are we going to exercise patience for him to come around? He has lost his memory. We should be grateful for the fact that we are seeing him alive.” Madam Cecilia nag.
"Now, I will urge you to go home and try to play with him. Try all he used to do, the place he used to go, and introduce it to him. One day, things will change." The doctor advised her.
However, when they got him, all his friends came to see him but he was just looking at them as if nobody was there. Many of them tried to crack jokes to make it funny with the hope that he would get along with them. None of it works. Johnson has turned to a new person which made his wife worry about the situation.
Soliloquy.
“Ah, what could make an able man not recognize an important person who is dear to him? Hmmm, maybe I should take him to our favorite places where we used to have fun, if he recognizes what we used to do in those areas, at least, it is something.” Said Madam Cecilia.
The following day, in the evening. Madam Cecilia and Mr. Johnson were in the vehicle on the way to the amusement park. While on the road, one truck crossed their lane and Madam Cecilia applied the brakes which made Mr. Johnson nod the rear chair and everyone was frightened. Suddenly, he mentioned Cecilia darling, where are you?
Madam Cecilia was surprised to hear him call her name. "Ah, wonder shall never end. This is good news. It is incredible. Wow! So, you know that I am the one in front of you?" She embraced him, but it was funny to him. That was how he regained his memory and everyone was happy for him.
The End
