Pain in the Loin

Today, I see around 20 odd patients.

One of them is a 50 odd years old lady, came in with a small child (few year old, running around the AED). She looked tired, vomitted a few times, having fever, loin pain, dysuria, hematuria and pissing pus. I had to given her intravenous antibiotics, which will take a few hours if not a few days to bring the disease down. However, she has to take care of the grandson, and I cannot alllow her small child to be running around in the observation ward and I had to let her sleep in the cold corrider in the AED. She could have slept in a proper bed in a proper ward if not for the child to be around.

The child is actually abandon and "sign-off"ed by his parents. His parents divorced, went separate ways and the child was left parentless. It is now up to the sick lady to take care of him, all by herself.
