One Halloween Night in 2020

This is the true story of my sister, an ICU
(intensive care unit) nurse. A story that my sister would remember throughout her life.
She would never forget the fear and
trepidation, that she had experienced on her first night duty rotation as an overseas' graduate, working in an ICU of a local hospital. She realised that besides flexing her nursing skills and best practices, she had to adapt to the local customs and  cultures of her team- mates and more importantly, the patients under her care. More so, since that night fell on 31st October,  Halloween eve. The eve that was associated with the spookiest spirits to harm people of the living world. Based on this belief would my sister, who was accustomed to the Western World and their mysterious myths, work peacefully to shield her patients from the Evils?
Initially, the night had started as happy hours for my sister, as she carried out her duties to comfort and nurture her two patients under her care. She was beginning to relax and believe that it would be a routine "night" like the other day duties' rotations. In fact my sister thought that she could spare some minutes to enjoy the candies and cookies that one of the Consultant surgeons had generously gifted to the ICU staff. She had hoped for a peaceful Halloween eve but "Men proposes and God disposes".
Minutes after her supper break, her team leader announced the imminent arrival of a suspected Covid 19 positive patient from the A&E (accident and emergency) department.
Nothing could have prepared my sister for what was coming during the next four hours, in her fight for this very ill
patient's life. Certainly, it was not a Treat or Trick four hours. It was a a Life and Death battle for the ICU team. Unlike their counterparts in the Western world, who would don on their scary costumes  and grotesque face masks  to usher in Halloween , the ICU team had don on their full PPE (preventive, protective equipment) to fight the Coronavirus before Death could take its toll. In their "superheros" goggles and faceshields, they have bravely faced the danger of self exposures to perform various procedures to save a patient's life. Zealously, these unsung heroes have "bitten the bullet", and not a piece of apple pie to salvage a life. With their valiant efforts, they have successfully managed to halt the fabled "pumpkin carriage" from transporting their patient to the mortuary door.
Unlike her past experiences, of Halloween Eves cerebrated in the United States, she finds Halloween 2020 as her most memorable one, although the merry makings, the delicacies, the funs and laughters were totally absent.
Since that Halloween night, my sister's life would never be the same again. She is now grateful to God for allowing her to learn more life lessons than Life itself. A battle fought with faith and courage despite of immense tensions, fears and anxieties that her teammates and she have faced.
In a way, my sister's and her teammates' experience is like trading. It is a tough game of decisions and sometimes risks. The ICU team has to focus shrewdly  before making each timely move. Likewise, so do the wise investors in their investment journeys.
