Diva in a Dead Place!!!

Recently I was diagnosed with malaria, typhoid and blood infection. And this recently was last august, 2011. During my two week vacation in the hospital I discovered that a nurse is somehow the most fascinating personality at a place which mostly advertises gloomy and depressing faces. 

Amid broken legs, irritated stomachs and smelly bed sheets, the young virgin (seems to be) girl wanders with her flashy bangles, sparkling earrings and echoing sandals. Carrying a smile on her face she cracks a joke or two with the patients who find themselves on their death bed.

She might not be worried about the stalled hospital clock but she is very particular with the shade of her lipstick. Her fashion statement comes out loudly with her nail polishes ranging from light green, dark blue, brown, silver and at times orange with white polka dots. 

She finds her glorious moment while penetrating a drip in a patient’s vein. With half closed eyes, a little nervousness shining on her forehead and a blushing face she behaves as if she is stitching a button on her husband’s shirt on a bright Monday morning. 

With abundant patients around there is hardly any time for a nurse to even breathe but the clever girl can be easily spotted chit-chatting or playing with her hair. 

She is the diva; she is the heartthrob of the place. No doubt she becomes the central character of the wet dreams of many patients. And with so many fantasies lurking around her, why the world is bombarded with porn films featuring a nurse is beyond question. She somehow fits the bill.

But that’s not only about this class that interests me. The stupidity of men has forced this world to go through most destructive of the wars. Wars, in which he got severely injured, lost almost everything he had, or worse, died. It was only during these armed struggles when somebody was needed to take care of the dying men, to get them back in the war territory. And therefore a nurse came for the rescue.

One of the reasons why a nurse is a female in almost every corner of the world is because this profession demands extensive caring and sensitivity. And who has that better than a woman. No one can do it better than them. The century’s old decision to place a female in the boots of a nurse must be taken on the ground that a woman and her fashion is a reason enough for men in tough situations to regain hope and enthusiasm in life.

So recently when I was diagnosed, the only wish of my broken body and a young heart was, that I didn't want to call this diva in a dead place, a ‘sister’.
