TWO HOSPITAL PATIENT´S & THE HOSPITAL WINDOW

Posted on 2020-11-14 by yorgovanni

There were two men, both seriously ill, who shared the same hospital room. One man got a seat next to the room’s only window. The man was also allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help him drain fluids from his lungs.  The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back. The two roommates quickly bonded and started talking for hours on end. They talked about their lives, their job,  children and wives. One day the man on the other side of the window, expressed how he envied the  man near the window. From that day the man near the window started describing all the things he could see outside the window.

The window overlooked a lovely park with a lake. Ducks  played on the lake while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. The man on the other bed began to live for those one hour  where he could hear and visualize the world outside the hospital room. The one hour of every day would broaden broadened his world and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. One fine afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.  Although the other man could not hear the band, he could visualize it as the man by the window vividly described.

Days and weeks passed by. One morning, a nurse arrived to examine the condition of the two patients. She found the lifeless body of the man by the window. The man had peacefully embraced his death on his sleep.  The nurse sadly called the hospital attendants  to take the body away.

The other man grieved the death of his roommate.  But, as the day passed by he started missing the way his roommate described the view out of the window. In a hope to have a peek out of the window and the beautiful world outside, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window.  The nurse happily made the switch. As soon as he was comfortable in his new bed, the man slowly and painfully propped himself  to take his first look at the world outside. The nurse delightfully watched as the man attempted to sit on the bed after weeks.  But as he strained to slowly turn to look out of the window beside him. He was stunned to see a blank wall outside the window.  The agitate man asked the nurse what could have made his roommate to lie about the view outside the window.

”There is nothing to see from here.  Where are all the wonderful things he saw? He described everything so vividly.  Is this a new and recent wall?  Why did he give me such vivid details that don’t exist?” He asked. The nurse shook her head and answered his questions,  ”Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you and make you happy.  You see, your roommate was totally blind.”
