teardrops

In the clinic, it is a rare sight to see people in tears, mainly because if they can come to clinic, they are relatively healthy.

But that day, it was different.

Both my patient and the patient of the junior doctor from my room went out for urine pregnancy test and came back positive.

Both were in tears, driven by different emotions and different reasons.

One was 14 years old, another was 38 years old.

One was overwhelmed with joy, another overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.

Made me ponder for a while.

For the same thing, perhaps time and age will drive us to tears for different reasons at different level.

Made me ponder.

When will I have my last tear drops in this lifetime...
