An old lady comes to me since last 1 year… comes alone… has a married son… comes to me with complaints of giddiness… with no findings on examination… always said no one brings her… n no one takes care of her… I always felt pity on her and cursed her son for not taking care of her… today I came late to my clinic as a car stopped in my path… n to my surprise tht old ladys son dropped her in his car… she walked alone without any signs of discomfort till my clinic not knowing tht I was behind her… after she entered my clinic she came to me and again had the same complaint… severe giddiness… she showed difficulty while walking from my clinic door to the seat..and again complained no one looks after her and she came alone… I cursed myself for having cursed her son… and thought this was may be some kind of presentation of some psychiatric or geriatric (old age) problem… maybe the old lady needed company or someone to listen to her… and me being a very patient listener of all the home problems of many of my patients, maybe I was the one she looked for some kind words…
2 things out of this… never judge anyone over only one sided hearing… and hope I don’t have such a geriatric situation in future J
