A visit to the hospital

It was a slow and dreary afternoon.The wind seemed to have stopped and the rays of the heartless sun beamed down like a thousand razor blades.My classmate had dengue fever and was warded in Tan Tock Seng Hospital.She had to be hospitalised for a few weeks to recover.

I decided to go to the hospital with my mother to visit her.We bought a bouquet of flowers and some fruit to be given to her.Soon,we were in the car,on our way to the hospital.

When we reached the hospital,we immediately went into the ward my classmate,Clare,was in.I saw many sick people on beds,some coughing and some sneezing.I could also smell the smell of medicine in the air.Suddenly,I spotted Clare lying in a bed,her face quite drained of colour and looking very exhausted.My mother and I quickly approached her and handed her the bouquet of flowers and the fresh cut fruit.We also wished her to get well soon and to get back to school to have lessons very soon.
We sat down on the chairs beside Clare's bed and observed the hospital ward.Ther were some nurses and doctors attending to some of the sick patients.Some relatives or friends of the patients were also sitting beside them.The nurses were checking the conditions of the sick people and were taking their temperature with a thermometer.
Soon,it was Clare's turn to take her temperature.We stood aside as the doctor put the thermometer into her ear.After the doctor has gone, I asked Clare ,"What was your temperature?Is it normal?"
"The doctor told me that I am recovering very well and I could go home after a few days!" Clare replied happily with a huge grin on her face.
"Yay!Congrats! We are so happy for you !" My mother and I whooped with joy and danced around together in the ward!
We stopped dancing as a lot of people started glaring at us.They must be thinking that we are very inconsiderate.My mother and I quickly opologised to the patients and then asked Clare,"So,are you feeling alright now?Do you need more rest ?"
Clare replied ,"I'm fine but I am now feeling very tired.The doctor wants to put me under observation for a few more days,then,I can go home!I really do look forward to being discharged."
"If you are really very tired,we will take our leave now.Do rest well!"I said.After that,my mother and I walked out of the ward quietly and went home.
The visit to the hospital made me realised that we should not make noise or play in the ward as the patients will be disturbed and will not be able to rest well.It is very inconsiderate to do that too.So,I will not be inconsiderate and disturb the sick patients the next time I visit the hospital!
