Ilhealth is always considered an uninvited guest and so is the pain of spending for it. For something that is unexpected and unwelcome, a negative sentiment gets tagged with it at the very start itself. It someone falls sick, there is a feeling of victimization by the force unknown. These are the pack of emotions with which a patients walks into hospital surrounded by anxious, restless attendants and most of the anxiety and disturbed look is borne out of the forced eventuality of accompanying their own kin. Another pertinent cause is the loss of the working days which are not easy to afford in the present era of cut throat competition. And not to lag behind is the constant prayer buzzing in their mind wishing a quick discharge and slim as a Barbie doll hospital bill.

Abstract


Ilhealth is always considered an uninvited guest and so is the pain of spending for it. For something that is unexpected and unwelcome, a negative sentiment gets tagged with it at the very start itself. It someone falls sick, there is a feeling of victimization by the force unknown. These are the pack of emotions with which a patients walks into hospital surrounded by anxious, restless attendants and most of the anxiety and disturbed look is borne out of the forced eventuality of accompanying their own kin. Another pertinent cause is the loss of the working days which are not easy to afford in the present era of cut throat competition. And not to lag behind is the constant prayer buzzing in their mind wishing a quick discharge and slim as a Barbie doll hospital bill.
