I have always heard ... that there is a lot of strength in your parents blessings. And it was proved this time ... once again. I had told mom dad about my feet .... and it did make them worry like anything ... to the extent of finding unknown relations in Lucknow! However, thankfully i did not require to use those relations. There was a girl (rather an auntie would be more appropriate) called Mukuli in my class. She was about 32 years old, had about 7 years of experience and looked absolutely stupid (well ... it all changed later :) .... i think ill dedicate a full post to her sometime later). Now Mukuli was suffering from fever from sometime .... and she had a doubt that it was jaundice .... she appeared to be scared to death ... and wanted to get her blood test done .... and apparently there was no facility in campus for the blood test to be done .... and that day we were discussing about our own problems ... when she said that she wanted to go to hospital to get her tests done but was scared to go alone. Now even though i was dying with my feet in that condition ... being a man .. i offered her my help (of accompanying her) ... Now let me make it very clear ... that the help was offered with no wrong intentions in mind :) ... Actually I wanted to show my feet to someone ( as none of the medicines were having any effect whatsoever) ... and I had no clue about medical facilities in Lucknow. This was not an easy decision for me ... as my first mid term exams were just 5 days away ! ... and I guess only Manish would know what wasting one full day in those circumstances in first term would mean ... but i had little choice so i went with her after BIO class...
The hospital was first of all not at all difficult to reach. We had taken campus bus which dropped us till 3.4 .. and from there we took one of the vikrams (pooled autos) .... Well the hospital looked as if it would fall anytime ... I had my doubts if this would be of any help ... still we paid 50 bucks each for check up ... and went to our respective doctors ... Now this is one lady to whom I will be indebted for life ...We have such wrong impressions about govt. hospitals ... tell you what .. the kind of treatment this lady doctor gave me .. even the most qualified professional doctors would not be able to give ... may be this was because of the fact that i was in IIM... which had a real huge prestige in Lucknow ... Anyways ... she removed puss from my blisters .. which were all over my feet .. applyed betadiene ... bandaged my feet .. and with all the bad puss gone properly .. i was feeling very much better .. she also wrote a few medicines ... some of which were available from the chemist outside the hospital and the rest i had to get from purana chauraha .... finally mukuli also had her tests done and we came back ... and i then knew ... i had seen the worst as far as my health goes for years to come .... and things would start becoming better now .. God bless that lady doctor ...
