The doctor that i had

After i realised my hand needed a second opinion i got through a contact of an ortho in kolkata through a friend....
and so i called up

saturday....

man on the phone: no more appointments today for dr. d.bhattacharaya
me: what about tomm?
man on the phone: yes, come by 5:30 in the evening
me: the address?
man on the phone gives me a address

sunday.....5:30 at the given address

the given address i realise is a huge house..the residence of the doc
after i ring the door bell a young woman comes outasking me who i wanted to see.

me: i have an app wth doc d bhattacharaya
her: dr d bhattacharaya doesnt see patients on sunday
me: but i have an app, i spoke on phone wth someone who gave me this address
her: dr DB is my husband's uncle and im not sure who gave u the app. i can call and find out.
plz come in

i was seated in their living room- so doctor like house...but a huge old house

she calls dr DB who says he knows nothing of the appointment.

her: my husband is also an ortho. if u want u can show him ur problem. what happened?
me: yeah i would be fine to show hi. i had an accident and now i cant move my hand...my work involves my left a lot...i cant even sketch
her: what do u do?
me: am a textile designer
her: oh.......,..................

Hence on she blabbers on asking what is designing all about..and tht she didnt know much about it...then comes the interesting part

her: my niece is interested in designing...she was thinking of some part time courses..wud u know of any?
me: not really...i never looked into them, wud tell u if i know of something
her: she is looking for some part time job too, she will not take it as a profession...but....
me : i donno know of any...but i can ask my boss
her: yeah sure...but she doesnt want to be a salesgirl mind u
me: totally struck by i donno what......

her :we have this girl at home..she never got married coz zhe got polio in her childhood, she also does a lot of designing

then she gets a beautiful sari ruined with blotches of white block prints

her: look this is how she makes saris look different, isnt this nice
me:...mmmm...yea... yeah the sari is more beautiful without the blocks
her:...no...they are not...its so nice.. so different....

i ask for a glass of water
i ask to leave.....

she stops me..says she wants to talk .on for some more time..and i have to sit...
she gets her husbands card.....tries to convince me to stay on till he arrives and gives a check up which was to be 9 in the night....
she even calls him up on the phone , discusses my x-rays....gets me a cold drink...out of which her son gets a sip....

then absolutely sure that some more time and i wud go nuts....i get up and ask to leave.....and leave for sure

This is just the gist of the two hour long encounter with the lady doc...and i walked out absolutely dazed....
yes there are people who are bigger buggers than me....

whoooooffffffffffff
