I never imagined I would find my second language #Hindi / #Urdu useful in a medical setting at the end of someone’s life.
It was past 12am in the ER #COVID bay. I was about to do a neuro exam on a patient in the hallway. I paused, weirded out by grunting two rooms down the hall.
Not even having the time to apologize to the patient I was in front of, I bounded to where I heard the groaning coming from. I found a small, round woman hunched over the side railing of her hospital bed, reaching for her bag on the floor.
