severely dehydrated young girl in hospital

Tweet

as a student nurse, i was on duty in a pedia ward, and there i met this little girl. she was about 5 years old but she is extremely thin and weak. her stomach is bulging which indicates that she has kwashorkor or malnutrition. a few hours later, she had convulsions and was constantly eliminating very watery stool. the nurse's effort to relieve her fever was useless because she used suppository and it just goes out with the stool. and after a few minutes, she died. too sad. very sad, situations like these make me think how vulnerable life is. one second life is present, and in the next, it's gone. and it's gone forever....
