I wish I am a Doctor/Nurse..

Sometimes I wish I am a doctor or a nurse, so that my dad will listen to me.

Lately my dad has not been feeling well. It is either he feel dizzy or feel like vomiting. Every day he checks his high blood pressure twice a day and sometimes can be quite high (140-150). Every time he saw the reading so high, he will get nervous or worried. Then later sure he say not feeling well. I wonder is it his sensitivity or it is a true sick or he just want to get our attention. But whatever it is, I hope he is not because of wanting to get our attention and pretend sick in front of us.

My brother told me that doctor said my dad diagnosed with Vertigo. I checked in the google, Vertigo is actually a type of dizziness like a spinning movement. It is often associated with nausea and vomiting as well as difficulties standing or walking. My brother said there is no cure but just to take medicine only. My brother also said he had the same illness as well.

Looking at my dad, I can confirm one thing that he is old. I know we can’t depend on him to take care of mom but what can we do? Quit our job or hire one more maid? Another concern and worried is my brother. Dad always goes to my brother and said his high blood increase and he felt like vomiting. My brother already quite stressful and I’m afraid he will get more stress up seeing at my dad’s condition. If I’m a doctor or nurse, at least my dad will come to me and listen to me but he only listen to brother. I also wanted to reduce my brother’s burden by taking care of the family.

Anyway, I pray that God will heal my dad & brother and give them more strength and healthy life. I will be taking emergency leave again. Hope my boss understands.
