I wake up at around 7 yesterday by some pain on my left side of body from stomach to back. I was feeling a little bit uncomfortable but neglecting it and carried my normal jobs. But at 8 it became unbearable. It seems that something inside my body wants to turn my back apart.. it becomes severe and than I decided to go to resi-warden and ask him to call the ambulance. He immediately called the insti hospital to send a ambulance but no sign of ambulance arrived till 15 minutes. Then I decided to visit hospital by myself and fortunately resi-warden asked a man here to usher me to the hospital.
“emergency case bhayiya” I speak with all the power I had.
“ gimme I-card or medical booklet” he replied
“ fuck the booklet... its emergency case(cant u see it??) I am having severe pain and u talking of booklet... I will show u all later.. now enrol me a doctor.. will u?? I said
“no no.. we cant enrol anyone unless you have any proof that you belongs to here.. sorry I cant do without any identification of urs..” and he asked me to talk to CMO in this regard.
“you are getting nuts man” I snapped. “go to hell... I will be fine myself.. don’t worry” and I paced back to my hostel and took a pain killer.
At this time the ambulance arrived (remember, I have called ambulance an hour before?). But I was so irritated by this hospital by now that I called off it and denied to go there. Later in the evening I was called by the chief warden and asked about the mess I created in the morning.
Later that evening I started feeling that pain again in my back to stomach... looked like some drastic force inside me was trying to crumble all my body. Before the pain could overtake me, I, with one of my friend went to the hospital. At that time hospital was closed so I told a attendant my problem and asked about the doctor. My almighty god!! He told me there’s no doctor at these times. He then nudged me that this pain can be due to some stone in the kidney. But he was not sure so he gave me a pain killer with a injection and asked me to come tomorrow morning to contact a doctor.
Next day...
I went to the hospi early in the morning. A doctor checked me and gave me some medicines and advised an x-ray of my left kidney.
“Sir, uumm... actually... stone is best detected in ultrasound.. so I think instead of x-ray ...”
He cut me in between “no..no... I am the doctor, not you.. so I would better know “
“ok.. ok..” I shrugged though I knw there’s no ultrasound machine here in this hospital and they had to refer me to an external hospital. And that’s the reason doctor didn’t advised me for ultrasound.
So I was done with my x-ray the next day and got the report the same evening. But the same doctor was not available then. So I was scheduled on Tuesday morning. Another lady doc read the x-ray and told me that there’s nothing in this. Everything seems fine.
So now my condition is that I still don’t know what exactly my problem is and am still advised to take those pills which that doctor gave me( just because he thought that I have stone without any proof)
It seems as if it was yesterday, when I was attending the introtalks about various sections of iitr and there was a eerie feeling about it’s toughest part, taking of interview by the seniors. A drain of fear ran across us, as if we are going to face some really iron-stud man, perhaps because many of us were facing interview for the first time and many of us were fed and grown up with its fear. Well I correctly remember how dirty I was feeling after every deadly encounter with a senior and how much lately I had repented that if I had not been nervous I could have done better...!!
Today is 7th and I just came after interviewing few juniors for some project. Well it was a complete wonderful experience, sitting at the seniors’ hot seat and taking interviews of the juniors. Fear and hesitation on their faces reminds me of my initial days in iitr.
