Last November, 54-year-old Gouri Chakraborty was admitted to the hospital in Kolkata, India. Gouri had high blood pressure, was diabetic, and she'd been experiencing complications from a recent cataract surgery. Then she slipped into a COMA.
Monday, Gouri's family showed up at the hospital for a visit. But when they got there, they found ANTS crawling on her face. And it wasn't just a few ants . . . it was enough to have completely DEVOURED her left eye!!
According to an official hospital report, quote, "The woman had lost one of her eyes to ants . . . She was already on her death bed, and this added to her problems." (now THERE'S a classic understatement!!) Hospital officials told Gouri's family they were sorry for what happened. But they also pointed out it's not that uncommon for ants to feed on diabetics, because they have such high levels of blood sugar. I'm sure that made them feel SOO much better!! The incident is now being investigated.
So next time you're in the hospital, instead of selfishly bitching about the wait, perhaps we should all thank the nurses and doctors for the great job that they do, given the situation they're put in!
