humor in white coat-Part 2

-

Dear Diary,

Festival season, festive mood, high spirits, happy faces, everything is full of life , blooming, blossoming.
A little humor will add the much required flavor.
(Disclaimer:  This post is entirely fictional. Any resemblance to anyone is purely co-incidental).

Case Scenario 6 (Oozing with smartness kinds)
Patient walks in for ultrasound examination of abdomen. Staff helps the patient lie down, requests the upper clothing to be rolled up and to loosen the belt and lower
A casual reminder to the staff to expose the part to be examined properly, as scanning will be done of the exposed part only.
Never in my wildest dreams thought, patient was intently listening.
Silently,the patient gets up, removes his shirt and lower and to everyone,s surprise, lies on the examination table only in his boxer shorts ( ONLY ! Imagine the shocked faces of doctor and staff,  .
Alas ! my good lord, what happened? No one asked the patient to undress.

Patient (smiling in an unusually irritating smart way ) : I overhead you doctor that only exposed part will be examined. Now ,will you do my whole body scan.”

Doctor (thinking hey bhagwan! uthha le mujhe types internally but saintly expression externally), Please, this is not how it goes. We will do the part as requested.

Patient sobers down, in pensive mood , Ohh k ! I am sorry, dresses back and lies down for his abdominal study.
Pin drop silence in the room……for next 15 minutes

Case Scenario 7 ( VVV* IP patient)

Patient pulls out minimum 4 different slips from different doctors requesting for concession. Meanwhile, concerned doctor receives 3-4 calls with the same message that the patient is known to them with a tagline, “ Dekh lena please “
Doctor gets up from his seat, bows , folds his hands and says softly,” I think I owe you a payment from my pocket. Thanks for so many request slips and phone calls for such a simple thing. I am indebted to you now.
(Internally, thoughts are churning , iss sab ki kya zaroorat thee, ek simple investigation ke liye, khud hi request karr leta mere bhai”)
I pray to God for patience and sanity.

Case Scenario 8 ( Frozen in time type -patient).

Patient ,s response after being asked for payment , “Abhi to karwaya thaa doso-teenso mein, fees kuch zayada nahin hai kya ? “
Doctor asks calmly, “ Kab karwaya thaa? “
Patient scratching his head and thinking , “ Yahi, koi….. chhe aath mahine pehle “
Doctor with Gautam Buddha,s smile, “ Not possible “.
Patient (with iffs & buts expression) “ Thoda zaayda der ho gaye hogi pandrah bees saal pehle !”
Doctor responds, “ Chacha! Itne mein to main bachche se jawaan aur aap jawaan se buddhe ho gaye ho ! “
Patient slowly slitheringly pulls out (it seems some invisible glue is stuck to currency note and purse), the exact payment with eyes rolled up to roof , “ Hmm, sahi kaha, mahanagye badhh gayi hai, abb aapne bhi to ghar chalana hai  .”

Keep smiling, keep reading, keep sharing. Humorous anecdistes from daily life of a doctor.

Take Care,
Juju

Many docs will relate to these anecdotes but, what makes it inimitable is your wit, your sense of humour which makes it class apart.

Mam ji! Are we dirty ?

Visit to slums is inspiring. The smile on little children’s faces and their eagerness to see new books is unmatched. My JRC Mobile library runs every week and caters to 3 evening schools and around 50 children. These children are getting used to the idea of issuing fancy, glossy books (primary education) and returning too. They wait eagerly for every Thursday evening for JRC mobile library. Today, I decided to go early with a friend on my two-wheeler. As I steered my two wheeler on a rough patch towards slums, we could see many small children running towards us smiling, cheering and shouting.” Good afternoon mam ji! Namaste mam ji”. There is one particular boy who always greets me with the brightest smiles and expresses his eagerness to study in the evening school. Every time, he tells the same story, his parents didn’t agree. Afterall begging is easier, hard work is less and earning more. Today he came and said, "Mam ji, I have got my Aadhar card and have enrolled in your e

What men want?

What men want? (When they rebuke, ”Leave it, you can’t do it!”) Disclaimer: Such kind of blogs are generally penned to help few anonymous souls, who are seeking help in empowering themselves and to gain a better understanding of their roles. Any resemblance to anyone’s life is purely co-incidental . This phrase is very commonly used in our male dominated society. Males (not all) get a sadist satisfaction whenever they utter these words to the fairer sex. I leave it for the reader to read this phrase with appropriate pause and stress. The tone may be low, but their body language gives away the real feelings. I often discuss with my Popsie the difference between ego and self respect. As per my understanding, in self respect, one tends to protect one’s own dignity and never puts down the other person. Whereas in ego, all effort is done to humiliate, put down the other person. the work is done on the other person - the basic difference. Reader’s discretion is fully respected.  In lon

An Open Letter #Part 2

An Open Letter #Part 2 To, Children of the Universe, I can only try and understand what you are going through. I will not go into your life. Rather I want to give you a glimpse about my life at your age and maybe few years here and there. Have you ever felt – “I am alone, I have no friends, I feel weird, I am always left out while other groups join in for fun, I feel like an outcast, My friends talk to me only when they need me, I am always available for my friends and not vice versa, My friends don’t reply to my text messages or see the messages and just ignore and the worst feeling is –I wish I was dead. If the answer is yes, please proceed further.  I was youngest of all siblings. My facial features were unlike others in my family, broad nose, chinky eyes and fair complexion. At times, I felt alien in my own family. My elder sisters were brilliant in studies and toppers of their class and sections. I was a jovial, naughty soul who studied what was required to pass with dig
