A hospital is an institution in which sick and injured persons are given medical or surgical treatment. Hospitals are government as well as private.

Government hospitals do not charge anything for the services they provide. But private hospitals charge good amount for the treatment for their services to ill persons. No one happily goes there. But all of us might have gone there.

Last week I happened to visit the local hospital to see my uncle. My uncle had been admitted there for an operation of his heart. There was a great rush of visitors in the compound who came to meet their patients.

When I went to meet him, he was sleep. The whole ward was full of patients. They were suffering from different diseases. Some of the crying due to pain. Some were sleeping. A young woman was lying with serious burns. In the next ward a man had been stabbed in the back. Doctors and nurses were moving about.

They were attending to the patients. They were full of love and sympathy. There was strange smell of medicines in the hospital.

The hospital was neat and clean. It was the visiting hour, so there was crowd of relatives and friends.

The hospital presented a horrible look. Pain and suffering was everywhere. I felt very sad and returned home in a contemplative mood.
