Save lives not money

    Once in a small village, a couple used to live there. They were poor but the husband was a very hardworking person but there was a bad habit in both they were very miser. They used to spend money very little. after a year wife become pregnant. They were very happy. Husband did more hard work for the expenditure of hospital because they decided their child will make his existence in an expensive hospital. Therefore they started collecting money more and more. Finally, the day of delivery came. The wife said to her husband I am suffering from a huge pain I think our baby is coming let’s go to the hospital. On the way, the wife said to her husband we have collected any money for the expenditure of an expensive hospital but all hospitals are the same if we go to an inexpensive hospital we can save our half money.  I am not getting what you want to say, actually what is your point? Replied husband.

I just want to say we should go to the inexpensive hospital for the delivery, said the wife.

Yes actually hospitals are the same we should go to inexpensive hospitals and we will go. You are right we can save our half money, said the husband.

After a huge communication, they went to the local hospital of their village. In that hospital, no senior delivery lady was there. All were junior they came for training and so far their course was not completed. Some of them went for delivering of the baby of that woman. Husband and some other relatives were waiting outside. The inside operation was in process. After a while, a small, cute, and very innocent baby came that was a boy but he was not doing any movement. then they realized the baby is no more. All relatives, Father and Mother of a newborn baby was crying but now those tears couldn’t do anything. After a week wife said my belly Is paining they went to the hospital. That day there was a senior she checked her very carefully and said, who did your delivery? In this hospital, some lady did my delivery. Replied wife…

Are you mad? Why did you come here? They are learning so far their course is not completed they did some mistakes and your belly is paining because they forgot some cotton in your belly. And maybe due to their mistakes your son died. Once again they cried and went home…..
