How Inhuman can One be?
At first seeing a cadaver was nauseating and was enough to make you unconscious. Then when it became a habit, we could say jokes poking at the cadaver. At last when that became nothing and when we reached to a point that we could even eat before the body, we reached to the live bodies. Alcoholics, poisoning, snake bite victims, fever patients vomiting and vomitus reaching even reaching your coats and the fans were all to see. Patients spitting blood, bile and everything inside was the next bloody sights.
Pain and weeps in the corners too would make ones eyes water in the beginning. But that too changed not after long. Then one would always believe people are showing pain to make you work and sleepless. At last you wouldnot find it even difficult to close your eyes without moisture when you see the dead body of someone being taken out of the ICU and you see their relatives crying.
And then we believed Paediatrics would change everything. Pain of infants and children were always an agony. But since they are always crying and we could always walk through the corridors, we found ways to overcome them, no actually avoid them. After all these what would be ones reaction on seeing a labour?
And it was then we were put to the Autopsy room. Hanging, railway, road taffic accidents - occupant & pedestrian, burns, drowning, murder, poisoning and the rest of it in others. In a hurry to finish the 10 cases as fast as we could no one could take it as dead men but just cases. One would read the obituary pages in the newspaper and wait eagerly for a murder or a suicide. And would jump out of joy if a murder case is present as it is rare. Its common to see cursing the people for the more number of injuries as it one would end up in writing the record which would run into 10's of pages.
Before long all the humane attitudes and emotions are lost. And it becomes easy to laugh in front of a diseased as well as deceased. But what matter is not emotions, but attitude. As in Munnabhai a doctor showing emotions cant even accurately put an incision. Praying at least the attitude wont change...
