IamAlive Day 17

leidygabriela in #alive • 3 years ago

Hi IamAlive Community,

Today I finally want to share my experience as a volunteer at the Spoedeisende Hulp (SEH) or as they call it in English the Emergency Room. The emergency Room in which I volunteer is located at the Academisch Ziekenhuis Suriname (AZP). I started in May of 2021.

In my honest opinion as an outsider I’ve never ever experienced heartbreak and lost yet at the same time so much kindness and care. Now I will be honest, my experience was not at all 100% positive because I’ve had to encounter rude people along the way. The staff were also not collaborating with me as a volunteer and at some point I truly felt that my work was being delivered in vain. But, regardless of this obstacle, I looked forward to it and kept volunteering.
The most shocking experience for me was witnessing the loss of a 6 weeks baby (at this point I would call it an infant). I was utterly devastated with that news when I came to realize that none of the 6 doctors that were providing the necessities could help this infant. I realized in that exact moment that time on this earth is very limited and when it’s your time to go out of this world nothing & no one can help you. That was the day that I began to be grateful for the many things that I have in my life. My focus completely shifted from focusing on the things that I didn’t have into focusing on the things that I already have/ own. But most importantly I am starting to forgive those that did me wrong because holding a grudge also won’t make you happy in life.
So yes, like I already said my experience wasn’t all positive, but this great life lesson that not even my university study provided me is something that I wouldn’t trade for nothing in the world.

I am alive today because in the mits of loss, grief and chaos I found my purpose in life. I am very happy with this life decision I took. I can proudly say that I’m still volunteering in SEH till the 31st December 2021.

First and foremost, I must acknowledge the fact that you look beautiful on these shots.
At times, volunteers are being taken for less in places like this but with your level of professionalism, they'll acknowledge you one day, remembering all that you took responsibility for.
Congratulations for being on the spotlight today

It's a sign of a great humanity for someone to volunteer and make time for others irrespective of his/her schedule. That's great of you @leidygabriela. And also, I hope you have had one or two experience during the time and have come across difference kind of people with different attitude and personality. This will help you to get along with people in the nearest future because of your past experience. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

It really is a pretty heavy place, people come for help when their lives are at risk, staying in a hospital is not easy, as a sick person or as a doctor ... you just have to be strong. congratulations on your participation in The Daily Spotlight

I am glad you are alive and well, congratulations on your position in the emergency room, the work in hospitals is hard and often sad if one does not get used to it, you learned a very important lesson in life, I hope that experience does not discourage you to continue providing your great service in the emergency room, greetings, and thank you for your noble work.

I am glad you are volunteering your time to an emergency room. I am sorry to hear they were not as nice as they should have been for the extra assistance they were receiving. Yes, volunteering can open your eyes to various life experiences that you would have never encountered otherwise. Learn all you can from each experience you encounter both good and bad. Take care.
