There are diverse facilities established in other to make life more easy for people, the one that is more subsidized are those that are owned by the government. There comes the privately owned establishments, these private institute came to be and are making waves due to the negligence from the government and it's workers to maintain the facilities. Personally I am not a fan of the hospital because I have a specialist close by that helps to manage my family health issues.
The purpose of the hospital is to help people get a better care when they are down or at anytime they need to run a check. There is this abaration has been for a while now, people wait until they cannot help themselves or are down with illness before they can seek medical attention which is not good at all. Once a while it is advices that we visit the facility in other to run a general check, by so doing we will be more assured of our health status no to wait until we a knocked down by sickness. Taking preventive measures is the best thing anymore can do for himself because it helps us manage our finances and emotions too.
Coming this far, I have been thinking of the best time I had at the hospital and the one I could lay my hands was when I gave birth to my first child. Usually, it is expected that a woman in labour will act in funny ways and even cry because of the sevial pain she is going through at that time. Well, all those is not her fault at all. Many women do lots of crazy things but mine was a different case, I went to the hospital calm and I was just gisting with my husband and his friend. While we got to the hospital and the doctor was called upon he came and asked of who was in labour they pointed to me, he didn't believe what he saw, infact he said I wasn't serious that I should go back, when I insisted he checked and I was already 4cm gone, that amazed him so much.
Thankfully I went with a senior friend who is well known in the hospital too and that gave us a good edge. Most times one don't get the desired attention at the public hospitals if he is not well connected so her presence have us a good coverage that night. Before I put to birth was the next day around 10AM and we where discharged same day and we came home. Many who saw me previous day at a wedding function were so surprised because I was so strong and energetic through out which didn't give them any room to suspect whether I was close to my EDD or not.
Hospital is not a place to stay for too long but I still maintain that it is important that we visit the hospital occasionally in other to verify our health status than waiting for when things go worse. I had the option of staying at home till the next day but I insisted on visiting the hospital because am not a fan of home deliveries.
