 DEAD MAN ALIVE:(FICTION)

                                Have we ever be afraid of something???


 ok the situation is like this I treat a patient in our ward. the patient has some hemoptysis problem. on examining he was diagnosed as have pulmonary tuberculosis. which was confirmed by sputum AFB and chest x ray. I was treating it according to routine. suddenly 2 days later I come in the morning to realize that the man has died. The  nurse on inquiring told that he coughed so much blood last night and he went for shock and died. THE NURSE SAID THAT LAST NIGHT SHE TRIED SO MUCH TO CATCH ME ON PHONE BUT COULD NOT GET. THE MAN BODY HAS ALREADY BE SENT FOR POSTMORTEM... ok i felt bad then thought ok its just happened. went to OP sat  for seeing patients. AROUND 11 55AM ONE PATIENT CAME I DID NOT SEE HIS FACE BUT WAS BUSY WRITING THE OP SEAT. HE TOLD HIS NAME AND SAID HE HAD COMPLIANT OF BLOOD ON COUGHING(HEMOPTYSIS). i raised and was shocked to see the man in ward .
