Chocolates anyone?

'My momma always say life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get'...i guess Bro Absolutely Rocks i met today in ward picked up the coconut crusted one (yuck!).

To have seen him 1 month ago and to only be diagnosed with community acquired pneumonia following a subacute fever and only to come back yesterday with full fledge signs and symptoms of acute leukemia makes me wonder about the effectiveness of the current medical service. This is not the first. Previously Sister Ultra Funky whom i met 2 months ago was diagnosed with haemophagocytic syndrome after a BMAT and to come back 2 weeks later with acute leukemia and pass away 2 days later in ICU...and she had BMAT?

I'm just a student, not that great but stuff likes this seems to be happening alot..and they, not even reaching their 20s and hearing their ambitious dreams and only then to have them being diagnosed with those diseases makes me ponder...is it fair? certainly not by the look of it but who are we to judge the decisions made up there but are we so hopeless we cannot do anything about it?...no i dont think so....if it is meant to be detected early then it must, by any way possible... i'm given this opportunity to serve the community and so i will try not to take it for granted and be more optimistic....how i pray he is to survive this she to have survived..their passion in what they wanted to do is so great i feel like its wasted...I guess that's just how life is i guess..a box of chocolates
