Bachchan will miss 'gentle care' of medical staff

Amitabh Bachchan, who will be discharged from the hospital in the next few days post his abdominal surgery, says he would miss the "gentle care and
smiling attention" of the medical staff. 

"There is a strange withdrawal symptom that begins to creep in before a 'discharge' from the hospital environment. Suddenly the dependency on the staff, the facility and attendance medically, which operates automatically through doctor advise and instruction shall come to a halt," Bachchan wrote on his blog last night.

"The gentle care and smiling attention of the nurses shall create a void when away from it. The regular and short at call doctors on standby at every indication of discomfort shall stop, and most of the battle shall be with yourself and your repaired body to deal with," he said. 

Bachchan was operated on February 11 at the Seven Hills hospital and was to be discharged last week. But since he was in acute pain following the surgery his stay was extended.

"A shower in the morning avoiding all the intricately placed 'kites' and needles and wires, can become arduous and one that involves great calisthenics. The course of injections and medications need the services of the 'central line'. Once
that is removed, many hurdles shall become clear and resolved," Bachchan said.
