Sometimes life does throw a brickbat. Amit met with a bike accident. He barely made it to the ICU. I had never been to Cooper hospital and it was an eye opening experience.
The night we took him to the casualty was a regular rush night. 3-4 patients per bed. They saw his condition and started working immediately. But there was only one stretcher and only 2 nurses. All rushing around. He was then admitted to the Trauma ICU. The first 48 odd hours were hell for all of us. Total mental and physical exhaustion.
