Operation Successful, But Patient Died! Poem by Ramesh T A

The life giver snatches away life when unexpected;
Is God a cruel being or benevolent being for all?
Before taking away the soul, He gives hope and then
Leaves the patient's condition in suspense to kill!

Operation is done for removing a tumour on pancreas;
Operation went on for seven hours and for stapling
The cut portions, it took three more hours totaling
To ten hours for the major operation to be finished!

For four days the patient is left in anesthesia for
Healing the wound inside and the organs slowly starts
To function making the sign of good progress, but kidney
Hasn't started to function needing dialysis to resume!

For that blood pressure should be at 100 to be maintained
By injection of medicine, but hemoglobin if falls from
10 in the morning to 6 in the afternoon and 4 in the evening
There's no way to identity blood loss needing another operation!

On operation, two litres of blood have oozed out near stomach
And are removed and replaced with new blood giving the hope
That the patient will recover sure and regain life once again;
But, alas, for three days it was giving hope and disappointment!

At the end of the third day evening, patient dies complete;
In those few days, God has created suspense for all to be
Suspended in anxiety oscillating between hope and disappointment;
Operation is successful, but patient has died leaving all in grief!
