Today, a haunting story unfolded before me, shared by a dear friend. It revolves around his father, a man ensnared by the relentless grip of chain smoking.
As fate would have it, this man was on the brink of a crucial bypass surgery, a procedure that demanded the careful administration of anesthesia.
Yet, lurking in the shadows was a grim truth: smokers require a more potent dose of anesthesia.
The doctor, recognizing the perilous path ahead, urged him to cast aside his cigarettes for a mere 20 days. This brief period was crucial for reassessing the anesthesia needed for his surgery—a lifeline that could save him.
But the chains of addiction proved too strong. Despite the looming threat to his life, his father could not conquer the urge to smoke, and those 20 days slipped away like smoke in the wind.
Tragically, he never received the life-saving bypass surgery he so desperately needed, leaving a void that echoes with the weight of lost chances and unfulfilled tomorrows.
