Being sick and having the medicines shoved down my throat, sometimes makes me wonder if a sick person lacks all the entertainment and up to date news. I have been wonderfully fussed over, having the meals of my choice and spending my days sleeping and eating.

Even though I am sick, I managed to retrieve a shocking and sad news that had happened to my neighbour. While he was supervising his workers to repair a huge machine roller, an accident had befall him. Although he had endlessly reminded his workers to be extra careful when repairing the machine, the unthinkable happened during his supervision.

The rollers had made minced meat out of fingers. It took his workers approximately an excruciating hour to dissemble the machine beyond recognition. He was immediately rushed to the hospital after that. He lost four of his fingers. Worse, he didn’t take up any insurance.

It made me wonder if he had taken an insurance, he would have at least gotten a compensation for his lost of his fingers. Now, he can only mourn the loss of his fingers and his ability to work normally. He is still hospitalised.

I can imagine what he is going thorough since the same thing happened to my eldest brother. Luckily he only lost his middle finger and made a Keropok out of the rest, at least they were salvageable.

I guess the insurance agents are right. Taking a life insurance leads to at least a better life if something bad befalls you.

To my neighbour and his family, I pray for his speedy recovery and my deepest sympathy to you.
