COMA, A silent Epidemic

Affective

"While there's life, there's hope.” The documentary film was jam-packed with a variety of contemplations. It portrayed lives of different patients from different walks of life and their experiences in the world of “COMA” and its unfortunate benefits.

It’s heart-weakening to see the unconscious patients lying on the bed for weeks, months, and years. But it was evident that their families are in more pain more than anyone else. It should have been upsetting and frustrating for a person's family to see someone they love in a coma, and they must have felt scared and helpless. I could only imagine how agonizing it feels knowing that the least you could do is to help in taking care of the person. Taking time to visit in the hospital and read to, talk to, or play music owing to the fact that it may be, or may not be possible for the patient to hear what's going on, even if he or she can't respond.

In some ways, “hope” may be the only resort you can cling on. You may never know what’s going to happen in the next few hours, or even seconds, you may never know if the 25% of survival may climb up to 99%, so essentially, the only thing you could count on is the single hope for a miracle.

Every single component of our body truly is significant for the entire body to function. So basically, we are ought to take care not only our brain, but chiefly everything. We may be in the state of “healthy” today, yet we never know what’s going to happen in the days ahead of us.

The documentary film made us contemplate that we should put into account how essential life is and as well as the people around us. The behavior of the recovered patients may not be normal as what they were before; still it is important that we should not make fun of them as what most of the kids do these days.

We are really blessed that we are not suffering from this kind of dilemma. It enables us to think wisely, how we could avoid being in this state of situation. The film does not only give us information about COMA, it also gave us reasons to give much importance to our brain, to ourselves, and to the people whom we are loved.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

We don’t know what the future holds for us, but the doors are still open, and that whatever we can do to make those doors swing in the right direction, we’re going to do. So as much as possible, we should avoid incidents that may be harmful to us.

Coma, a silent epidemic can be avoided as much as possible; one of the various reasons that may result to coma is drug addiction. As a human being it is our responsibility to take good care of ourselves. Drug addiction or drug overdose can ruin our life most especially the functioning of our brain which would lead to the abnormality of our behavior so we must not abuse drugs. We must take in to consideration that medicines are invented for health improvement purposes, and not to be taken lightly, for too much of something may lead us to the world of jeopardy.

We can stay away from heart attacks by controlling our emotions and eat nutritious foods to keep our heart healthy. With regards to accidents, we never know when and where an accident would occur, so the least thing we can do is to take extra care of our actions.
