Well. There are times when people need other's help and
lend a helping hand to
others
as well I am no exception. Last year, I helped my roommate to see a doctor
as she could barely walk because of the great pain caused by kidney stone.
Actually, it was in a snowy morning, I waked up and saw that she wa
s trembling
all over
and as white as a sheet in her bed. She thought it
would be alright after a
while.
Without a second thought
, I took all the cash I had and helped her to get
dressed, and then we hurried to the nearest hospital in a taxi. However, after all
the difficulties we had in catching a taxi and all the coldness and pain my roommate
suffered, the hospital did not
put an immediate end to
it. We had to
stand in a
long line
to pay the registration fee first.What
pissed me off
was that there were
still more patients before us waiting to see the doctor. Later, with prescription in
hand, I had to do the whole waiting thing again to pay for and pick up medicine
separately. Thankfully, the
acute pain
of
my roommate was greatly
relieved by a
shot of painkiller
.
As we returned to school, I put her to bed and saw her
grateful
look.
For my part, I think it is quite natural to help people
we care about and expect
nothing in return. And I believe a friend in need is a friend indeed. Besides, I do
enjoy the feeling of being needed.
