A labourer, who opened his eyes, and had no idea why is he in hospital
A labourer hit by free falling iron rod, forget everything onward

In after noon, a patient presented a Patient was brought to hospital, was sleepy like if unconscious. He was a labourer, has been injured in construction site. 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.
some thing more satisfying happened next morning when I went to bedside of patient to access his recovery, and he was all fine like normal boy, his father was all happy, and was joyous to report me the recovery of his son and the his progress in returning to normal life, then I asked the patient, how are you, "I'm fine but there is feeling of tightness on my head only, and my neck is tired" I assured him that he will be fine, and that there are routine things that happen after trauma, then surgery and bandage on head, then I asked him about the accident " I work as labourer in construction for 15 years and no such thing ever happened un till yesterday that object fell on my head and I was unconscious after ward and didn't knew anything after I gained my consciousness, however I'm feeling Good"
He look perfectly fine like before, initially he had forgotten everything and people, but next morning his recovery was astonishing. A man who had forgotten everything yesterday, know everything and everyone today. It so astonishing about the brain, if got little disturbed, changes you formidably.
