An Emergency Operation
The wailing siren stopped abruptly as the familiar white vehicle with its stark red cross pulled into the Accident and Emergency unit of the Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The doors of the ambulance were flung open and orderlies and nurses rushed to assist the ambulance driver and crew with the accident victim.
The unconscious man was given an intravenous drip and was immediately rushed to the operation theatre.
The hours of waiting were long and filled with fear and uncertainty. Mrs. Leong had been informed of her husband’s mishap at 12:30 p.m. while at work. She had rushed home to collect her two children, Daniel and Aileen and had proceeded immediately to the hospital. Upon her arrival at the accident and Emergency unit, she had been informed of her husband’s critical condition. Her husband had been involved in a head-on collision with a car whilst riding his scooter. Mr. Leong had been flung fifty metres by the impact and had sustained head injuries.
It was one o’clock in the afternoon and the red light over the operation theatre doors still shone brightly. Mrs. Leong clutched her son tightly as she bowed her head in earnest prayer for the second time since she had arrived. Aileen just stared at the bright red light over the operation theatre’s doors, unable to fully comprehend the seriousness of the situation.
At last, the doors of the operating theatre were flung open and the red light ceased to radiate its brilliance. Mr. Leong was wheeled out accompanied by a nurse who was pushing the stand which supported his intraveneous drip and an orderly. Mr. Leong’s head was thickly wrapped with bandages.
Hearing sighs of relief and rumbling prayers of thanks, the Leong family and a few of his close friends approached Mr. Leong on his trolley. Mr. Cheong, Mr. Leong’s best friend, clasped the outstretched hand of Mr. Leong who was still suffering from the after effects of anesthesia. Mr. Leong smiled feebly as he was wheeled to his room.
A few hours later, a smiling Mr. Leong was sitting upright on his hospital bed relating the accident to his family and friends. The surgeons had operated on his head and found a brain hemorrhage. They had stopped the bleeding and it would take a few weeks for Mr. Leong’s stitches to heal before they could be removed. Mr. Leong was very thankful to be alive.
