A visit to the hospital

12th march 2021 was a day I will not easily forget. I wake up early in the morning with a sharp pain in my chest.

I tried to figure out what was wrong but I could not. I thought of waking my big sister whose is room was very close to ours but ,I later decided not to disturb her.

Before I know what was happening I discovered I could not breathe properly again.

My little brother, age 7 was ignorant of my condition as he was sleeping soundly in the same room

I didn't know how I got to chinaza teaching hospital Nnewi.

I opened my eyes to see a doctor with his stethoscope on my chest. it was his voice that brought me back to life. I must have passed out at home, I thought.

I had the doctor saying"she will be alright" I looked around and saw my mom crying beside me. I was confused but she told me not to worry, that I will be alright soon

The doctor, a slim, fair and kind-hearted woman, examined me thoroughly while asking my mom some question. She later went back to her seat and wrote some prescription.

My mom asked her what was wrong with me and she said it was pneumonia. the doctor was very patient and caring doctor. She took time to tell my mom what do you and what not to do concerning my ill health.

After seeing the doctor my mom lifted me up on her shoulder even though I told her I could walk. she said I was too weeks to walk.

we want straight to the pharmacy department which is a stone's throw from the doctors office.

I saw many other patient or children who were brought to the hospital by their parents. it was the children's section and all the children we are looking very ill

Some of the children we are screaming. I pitied them all. it was then my mom told me that I had fainted at home. our next door neighbor had been called and the two of them had rushed me to the hospital

At the pharmacy department, we were promptly attended to. there was two pleasant female pharmacist. one patted me on my back and called me her little friend , i did not like being referred as a little girl because then I was 12 years old.

However, she gave us all that the doctor prescribed and also added her own words of advice on how to live healthy life. we thanked her and left

At the hospital gate my mom flagged down a taxi by driven a caring old man, who because of my condition, drove carefully done our home.

By the time I got home, even before taking any medication, I had started feeling stronger

It was really good to be back home, alive to see the beautiful face of my loving family who happily gathered around me ,asking how my visit has it went
