Life's Irony

A man was sick, very sick.

He was hospitalised and was in intensive care for 2 months. The most advanced medical treatment was given to him, and a wide array of deep medical expertise consulted from far and wide all over the world. The man recovered and was discharged after another 2 months of hospitalisation.

Then he was hit with the bills.

He had lost his job before he was hospitalised. He was not easily employable. There was no balance in his savings account and what can be paid by public funds have all been paid. And yet a huge balance remains. The hospital threatened and sued him and he declared himself bankrupt.

He had no family. And he had no friends. For he often borrowed and no one wants to know him anymore.

He was miserable.

He committed suicide.
