Despite the challenging condition of the patient and the doctors’ skepticism about her chances of recovery, the nurse decides to dedicate extra attention and care to Hira. She believes that through exercises and support from her younger sister’s voice, Hira’s brain might be stimulated to recover. However, some colleagues and senior doctors discourage the nurse, suggesting that the patient’s condition is hopeless and not worth the effort.
Determined to help Hira, the nurse takes a stand and convinces the senior doctors to allow her to continue caring for the patient in the ICU. Despite the slow progress, the nurse does not lose hope and continues her efforts with patience. Eventually, she witnesses a small sign of progress when Hira lifts her little finger.
However, the nurse is sent on a training course for three months and is worried about leaving her patient’s care in other hands. Upon her return, she finds Hira’s bed occupied by someone else and fears the worst. To her delight, she meets a woman who turns out to be Hira, now standing and walking on her own feet. The patient and her family express gratitude towards the nurse for her dedication and refusal to give up on Hira’s recovery.
The story highlights the nurse’s professional skills, determination, and willingness to go beyond the norm to provide the best care for her patient. It also showcases the power of compassion and the impact that dedicated healthcare professionals can have on their patients’ lives. The nurse’s unwavering commitment to Hira’s well-being and eventual recovery serves as an inspiration, emphasizing that with determination and effort, one can achieve remarkable outcomes in their profession and in life.
