Another tragedy to test me.

As I am beginning to view life differently, there are always possibilities or circumstances in life that continues to challenge you emotionally. As I am writing this, it's 1 pm now, just half a day had passed I had so many things happened to me.
As I am all alone in the clinic as my nurse is on maternal leave, I had to do everything myself. There are times that I am needed outside the clinic to get things done. So each time I had to leave a notice saying that doctor is out.Please contact my cell number in case any patient arrives. I had to run to the post office to send a package to a patient when courier guy called me up to pick up an important document. I told them to give me 10 minutes which they were reluctant to wait. So, I told them give me 5 minutes then.
The good thing is that you don't have to take a number to wait for sending packages. So everything was swiftly done. And as I was going towards my car to rush back to the clinic to past the documents to the waiting courier fella, an idiot parked his/her car right behind my car. I couldn't get out. Somehow, I managed to maneuver my car by reversing and go forward repeatedly then i got out.
As I was driving along the road, suddenly a parked van just reversed just as I was passing their vehicle. The left side of my car was totally smashed and dented. My mirror was smashed into bits.
Evidently it wasn't my fault, as IF I was the one who smashed into their vehicle, my headlight would have been smashed. But as you can see, the damage was evidently occurred while I passed by when he reversed his vehicle.
My smashed up side mirror and dented door.
The damage on his vehicle.
Would you be smiling if this happened to you?
What complicated things was that as I was talking to the driver a relative of one of my regular patient who is an elderly lady called me up and told me she won't be seeing my anymore, and just wanted to say goodbye to me. I was surprised?! I couldn't recall anyone when she mentioned about her mother who use to see me for treatment. I am a Chinese of Cantonese descent. Though I've been staying in KL for the past 11 years, my Cantonese sucks BIG TIME. She told me she won't bring her mother to see me again, since she is now hospitalized. She mentioned she called simply to say goodbye to me. I was confused and perplexed. Why would she call me up just to tell me that? So, i asked her back whether did I do something wrong, prescribed the wrong drug or any mismanagement. She said no, in fact her mother was very always happy to see me. My initial impression was that her mother was hospitalized because of ME! Her daughter kept on saying no,and insisted that she called to say goodbye. I was disturbed, very very disturbed with all that happened within a short span of time.
I came back to the clinic, and gave the lady a call to rectify and get more information. She mentioned they had some problem with loan sharks, was constantly harassed and threatened with death.
The mother suddenly became ill ( which I sincerely suspect due to medical problem)and currently in Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, and was told by the doctors that their mother is dying and there's no way to save her.
She was an old fashioned, traditional Chinese who believes in medium, and was told her mum's condition was a result of "black magic" spell.
I disagree with her, but I couldn't mentioned it to her as was crying on the phone. I tried to comfort her, asking her to calm down. She couldn't help crying, and finally she hung up before saying a final goodbye.
I couldn't help it but to contemplate of all that happened today. It just felt not right despite my new frame of mindset. Especially with all that has happened today, I spent half the day dealing with the car. Had to go the police station, made a report.
Well, with all that has happened, the only positive news was that the sergeant said it was the other person's fault. Not mine. I smiled while walking out from the police station.
I smiled today....

  2. Yeah, I agree. But while facing the problem, you may not able to spontaneously see the solution there are then. That's human nature. The feelings can be sometimes be overwhelming.
