PDF Editor FAQ
What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
In 2016, I was wrapping up with med school. I was an intern and posted for two months in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.In our hospital, there is a room called the Medical Transcript ( MT) room. One of our jobs as interns is to type out discharge summaries. A discharge summary is a legal document detailing everything about a patient's treatment and the medications their doctor has prescribed.I had had a terrible day. I overslept, missed breakfast, ran to work, finished rounds then had to run to the MT room to type out 5 summaries and was thoroughly exhausted because I was surviving on one cup of tea.My post graduate senior called me and grilled me saying I was irresponsible for not having completed the summaries by then and that I was delaying things.I remember staring at the computer and thinking , ‘Who does she think she is, giving me these summaries at the last minute, why that no good lousy…’ I felt like a volcano ready to spew lava.And then an angel appeared…She was one of the staff members who had the responsibility of taking the printed summaries to the respective wards. She looked at me with a kindly smile and asked ‘Everything ok doctor, had your lunch?’, to which I replied that everything was fine but I had yet to eat..This lady, who hardly knew me, opened her lunch box and put it in front of the desk and said ‘Eat'. I thanked her profusely and I told her I would eat later but could not possibly eat her lunch, to which she simply said ‘Don't you worry about me, please eat doctor'..It was the yummiest lunch of curd rice I had ever had. I felt soo much better getting some much needed glucose into my system. She was soo kind, she refused to even let me wash the lunch box.I finished my work and thanked her. The rest of the day went spiffingly. I was in high spirits.Thank you for offering me your lunch. Your smile is beautiful and you lifted my day.I don't know her name, I would come to the MT room everyday just to smile at her and without fail she would ask me if I had eaten and whether I would like to try some of her lunch.The day before convocation, I wanted to invite her to come see me graduate but the staff told me she had left her job.Wherever she is, I wish her happiness..I will never forget her. I hope to meet her again soon.

How much does it cost to give birth in the UK as a British citizen on the National Health Service (NHS)?
Earlier this month (i.e. March 2017) my wife went into labour 18 days early. On Day 1 we went to the hospital, but the contractions died down and she was sent home. They started again in the early hours of Day 3, and we went to the hospital in the early afternoon. Progress was slow, and then there was a delay in a midwife and delivery room being available, but we got that at around 06:00 the next morning. My wife tried her hardest for a normal delivery, and during that time the same midwife was with her constantly, while other senior midwifes and doctors dropped in occasionally to check on progress, or for specific reasons (e.g. a senior anaesthetist to put canulas in, as nobody else could find my wife's veins!), but in the end it just wasn't happening, so the midwife decided the next step would be an assisted delivery (i.e. forceps or ventouse).Around half a dozen staff then turned up immediately, including a couple of obstetric consultants, and I was handed a set of scrubs before we all went up to theatre. The lead obstetrician then examined my wife and said that due to a number of factors even an assisted delivery was too risky in terms of potential damage to the baby, so he recommended a c-section. I asked if he could quantify the risk (I went into “work mode” a bit!”), and he said that while he couldn't give the exact numbers, the risk to the baby was much higher than the risk to my wife from the c-section (obviously a routine but still major operation). We agreed to the c-section and less than half an hour later we had our baby daughter.I then went with my daughter for her to have her first shots, while my wife was taken to a ward to recover, where we then joined her. Most of the time either a doctor, midwife, or nurse was with us, and we always had to be accompanied by at least one when moving our daughter between wards/floors. Obviously my wife then had to stay in for a few days to recover, but on the second day after the birth (i.e. Day 6) there were some concerns about our daughter's feeding, so she was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). My wife was discharged on the fourth day after the birth (Day 8), and our daughter when she was ten days old (Day 14). Two weeks later, both are now doing more than fine.So in summary, my wife was in hospital for five days, and our daughter for ten days, including eight days in NICU. The average internal NHS cost of a delivery is around £1,600, but a c-section alone is an additional £1,700. NICU is around £1,200 per day, so that would be £9,600 in total, making just under £13,000 in all. And the cost to us personally?Zero.OK, we did spend a bit of money buying nappies, as we felt a bit guilty using the free NICU ones, and I was living on shop-bought coffee and sandwiches for a week.
