ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD;

EXPLOITATION IN THE NAME OF SERVING HUMANITY

Hello Folks!

We have often heard the phrase, All that glitter is not gold. Today, I aim at analyzing this phrase. So let’s start. Below are pieces of evidence of what I have witnessed on a one to one basis.

I reached out to the Integrated Health Services (IHS) to hire a Nurse and an attendant to meet the medical needs of my father. I had heard a lot of good things from the people who hired their services.

Frankly, if you are only hiring attendants from them, you are going to be 100 percent satisfied. The two attendants that I hired are real professionals serving the needs of my father.

However, the nurses that they sent in the name of professionals were crap and nothing near to a professional nurse. The first nurse (Sarfraz) that was sent for my father caused the infection to him in passing the catheter.

As a result of his unprofessional service, we had to rush my father to the emergency where he urinated blood through the catheter to relieve him from the retention.

Instead of being sorry for his actions, instead, he tried to blame my father that he had tried to pull out and the IHS tried to put a cover on the person and put the matter under the carpet.

The second time they sent another nurse(Muhammad Husnain) qualifying him too, as a professional. I kept on telling the organization that the person they have sent again is a student and not a professional nurse but they weren’t ready to listen.

I kept on observing him check out his professionalism but he too was nothing more than a quack. He did not know how to make an injection or read the meds name or even fill insulin.

A professional nurse would know the difference between giving 6 unit insulin and 60 unit insulin. Had I, not known how to fill insulin and the required amount to be given, my father would have gone into a coma.

I was shocked to see his unprofessional attitude and was greatly awed by just thinking about what would these people do in places where the old family members ate exclusively dependant on these nurses.

However, the last thing which I was not expecting he would do was to remove my father’s catheter. I was extremely upset and frustrated at his attitude.

I had called the nurse from a nearby hospital to pass the catheter. He was saved from the demise we faced earlier at the hands of the nurse, Sarfraz.

I called the organization and talked to their coordinator Haroon and brought the event to his notice but as usual, he denied saying that the other coordinator Sadiq called the nurse and asked him why had he done such a thing?

The male nurse instead of admitting his mistake said that the family had permitted him and the old member himself told to remove the catheter. Seriously, a person who has Dementia, would you do what he is saying?

You are intelligent to do the calculation yourself, my friends. In the end, I would like to say that even if you hire attendants or nurses for your parents, do ensure your supervisory role instead of trusting them 100 percent.

Regretfully, very few organizations in true spirit serve humanity in spirit and letter.

Parents are an asset. Don’t leave them at the mercy of anyone. Think about the times when you were in their place and what they did for you. Life is a cycle. What you do today will eventually come back to you.

Think about it. Until next time, stay safe and healthy.

Happy Reading!

GRIEVANCES OF THE SMALLER FISH

GRIEVANCES OF THE SMALLER FISH

Hello Folks!

In the wake of COVID19, we have witnessed a great shift on many fronts. Today, I aim to talk about one such front which is the grievances of the smaller fish. So let’s start.

Keeping in view the health perspective and all, the Educational institutions closed down and that halted the overall studies of children/ students altogether.

After some time the studies were resumed via online teaching. A whole new concept for those who never taught online and only knew how to teach face to face.

Most of the parents criticized this form of teaching in the first place as they too were not well equipped with this setup. As time passed everyone more or less became attuned to the idea of online learning and teaching.

However, one should not forget that the smaller fish were the ones who should and are the ones to be given the credit for updating their methodologies and integrating a fast mode in their educational institutions.

For the bigger fish, the online system was no problem as they have not for a day faced any break down; be it in terms of finances or infrastructure or billing. Everything is covered either in one or the other category. For them, it is a no gain, no loss scenario.

The real affectees are the smaller fish who not only are humble in their overall performance but go a step forward to put a smile on everyone’s face particularly the parents.

The previous few months have been really hard both for the parents and the smaller fish. They had the decency to understand the grievances of the parents by accomodating them in terms of fees even though they too have a system to run.

Keeping the attitude of the smaller fish in view, the parents should have been more than grateful for what was being given to them but instead, some have become defaulters and some even left the school without prior notice.

With the backdrop of the smaller fish, the bigger fish have been enjoying all perks and benefits. They block the student from entering the system if the fee is non paid or even late. Here, we cannot see parents taking their children out of school or children suffering due to non-education. Why?

The reason is that the bigger fish are doing business and everyone in their business is a client; be it a learner or the parent. They have no mercy for the ones who are suffering. They have a bigger fish to fry.

So, why should the smaller fish suffer for their humane treatment with the parents who are thankless for the efforts being made by the smaller fish.

In the end, I would like to say that the smaller fish to have to pay for the salaries of the staff and the ones concerned with running an institution. They, too have homes to run and families to keep together. They do not have miscellaneous pockets to make up for the losses like the bigger fish.

It is a sorry state of affairs when we take the smaller fish for granted and try applying all rules and regulations on them while the bigger fish are Scott free.

In my humble opinion, these are the mediums who make leaders of the future and need to be acknowledged at large for the commitment they provide.

As an individual, it is our duty and responsibility to stand by their side in easing the grievances of the small fish and help them deliver their commitment to equity.

Think about it. Until next time stay safe and healthy.

Happy Reading!
