A nurse has sparked deep emotions online after sharing the final words of a patient who tragically passed away despite undergoing a successful medical procedure.
The nurse took to her TikTok page to narrate the heartbreaking moment, revealing how the patient’s last request was for a simple glass of water before he unexpectedly took his last breath.
According to the medical professional, the patient had successfully undergone a critical procedure for an undisclosed illness.
Despite doctors and medical staff celebrating the success of the operation, they were later met with an unexpected tragedy as the patient suddenly lost his life.
She recalled that moments before passing away, the patient turned to her and uttered his final request, saying, “Nurse, please, I want to drink water.”
Sadly, what seemed like a simple and harmless request became his last words before he passed away.
In her words, she wrote …
“The last thing he said was, ‘Nurse, please, I want to drink water,’ and the next thing, he died. So painful losing a patient after a successful procedure.”
Reactions have poured in from social media users …
@Rosal said: “If you are taking care of a critically ill patient and they ask for water, please don’t give it to them. That’s always a sign that they are about to pass away.”
@2 Toxic said: “They ask for water because they are dehydrated, but it’s always advisable to give them fluids through an IV instead.”
@Nicholas Stone commented: “Hmm, my wife also told me she wanted to drink water. After getting her the water, less than 10 minutes later, she was gone.”
@Ann Kamya shared: “I can’t ever forget when I was in the theater, fighting for my life. I felt my life slipping away, and I was so thirsty. I asked for water, but no one gave me any.”
@macritao reacted: “I once asked for water when my throat was so dry, but my husband refused to give it to me. I even begged him to dip his hand in water and drop some into my mouth. Thank God I’m still alive.”
