Choices ....

Went to Gombak today, was very impressed by how the orang asli lives, their daily lifes, their freedome, start to salute them...

Anyway, saw a 17year old end stage renal failure patient today....and Dr Sasi came out with this question...asking us what we would do if we put us into himself...

17year old guy, has 10 siblings, home at Gua Musang, Kelantan ( somewhere interior jungle ), End stage Renal failure, need dialysis 3times per week at H KL, Was having generalised odema since 5months ago for 3 months and now there is no more oedema yet his renal failure problem persists. Having dozens of antiHypertensive drugs. There is no one with him in the hospital and judging using current technologies, he is likely to spend the rest of his life in Gombak Hospital unless he want to die faster.....Is trying to convince the doctor that he is fine and healthy ( maybe so he can go back home?)

Now, what would you do if you are him, you are uneducated, do not know there is such thing as Renal Transplant, even if you know and got a kidney from your siblings, you do not have any money to buy medications that are used in Againt Graft Versus Host adverse reactions......your 2 choices are.....
1. Go home to your family, live a shorter life
2. Spend the rest of your life in the Hospital without meeting your family again....

Surprisingly, i choose 1st option which according to Dr Sasi the option which that guy would also choose. Why would i choose option 1? Hmm, maybe i cared more of my family than anything else in this world? I asked my mum & my aunt, both of them chose option 2, wanting to live longer......rather abandone family but live longer.
-sigh-

What is your decision?
