A Man who would walk in hospital at night
He was a 25 year old nice and innocent boy, with good relation ship with father, He has a good memory and was polite guy, his father was proud of him. But two months before he suddenly developed weak memory, couldn't recognise people, wasn't aware of time and place. He would talk propely, would answer you any thing you asked him about his health but couldn't recognise people properly, couldn't tell you if what's the time is. His memory was also weak now he couldn't recall things that happened an hour ago. While talking to him to assess him, interrogating him was troubling for him, continuous questioning would make him weep, his eyes would well up with tears, sometime the tears would fall down his cheeks and he would begin to wipe them. I would stop again and again to give him time to compose him self, when I used to ask him if he is fine, should I continue my interview, he would give the permission and would assure me that He is fine and he can answer. His father was so worried about him, and would ask me again and again whether he will get fine, can he be like before. Including these symptoms he also have episode of generalised fits that was associate with urinary incontinence, initially he would only urinate unconsciously during episode of fits, but with time he developed unconsciously urinating with out fits, also his frequency of fits was increasing, he also had lost weight.

He has been hit on head by a falling object, he suddenly fell down and was unconscious for a while, and then he was unaware of the accident, he had no idea of time and place, he was sleeping and one have to awake him with some painful stimulant in order to talk to him. I tucked him and he opened his eyes, I asked him if what had happened to him and he was looking into my eyes, if I'm some alien, what is your name, staring at me, confused like if I have asked him some tough question and that puzzled him, then I asked him, What had happened to you " I don't know" then I asked him, where are you right now, "He said it's X village, he just thought if he is in his own village, then I asked him do you know the man standing by your side, he just told me his name is .....( told me some random name, the name of that person was something else). The accident had been happened early at 11:00 am but he had been treated in local hospital however he wasn't doing good, so was referred and the travel took him long time. On Imaging there was bleed between brain membrane and bone. he needed Emergency surgery.He was brought by his co-worker and the contractor, his father was on his way, however he was prepared, his father came just before the surgery and we took consent for surgery and the patient undergone surgery of 4 hours, there was so much wormth in the operating room, the Air conditions was working fine, and in OR dress its felt so hot, after surgery my whole dress was wet because of sweating, when I was coming out of OR, on the way I meet his father, who was so happy and was praying for us and appreciating us for doing the surgery. It was really good moment to bring satisfaction back on face of a father, who is so worried for his son, who have seen his son all fine and healthy in morning and in evening someone call him and tell him that your son had suffered head injury and now need head surgery. That's really satisfying.
