For some reason this drastic climate change has put all living creatures into a frenzy. This means biting, sucking, canoodling and what not between all types of species. 😉
👆 Happened with me. I ended up with viral fever. So, when my temperature shot up to 104.5°F, the obvious thing to do was to rush to the doctor.
After paying Rs.300 (only for consultation. What??!!) and waiting for around 45 minutes, we finally get the privilege of meeting the doctor. He asks the routine set of questions, "Any cough? Throat pain? Cold? Running nose? Body pains? Joint pains?" and slowly slips into the uncomfortable questions "Does it pain while peeing? What's your pee color? It is yellow or dark yellow or red? And your stool, what color?" while I tried to answer them as best as I can remember because let's be frank here : When you are sick, you don't stare at your poop or pee. You don't stare at anything because your eyes hurt, your body hurts, you hurt and all you want to do is go back to bed! It's a fact! 😛
After that, he takes his stethoscope, checks my breathing (or whatever it is doctors check for) and sits down to tell my parents I have dengue! 😲 Without any tests or anything, he just scares the wits out of them! Asks me to come back three days later and then get the tests done because the virus will be detectable only then. (But I still have dengue 😑)
Now, here's what I don't understand - How can you tell people they have something without any confirmation? You're a doctor for fuck's sake! You are supposed to reduce a patients (+ whoever is with the patient) stress. How were you ever given the licence to interact with the patients?? On a smaller note, when someone claims to have body pains, why ask "joint pains too?";
Yes, joint paints too! My entire body hurts, Doc!!!
And the part that annoys me the most is that I tested negative for dengue and he's still allowed to talk to people. I don't understand why doctors don't have to obtain the licence to talk to patients! It's bloody crucial!

Look at the poopoo-virus and the WBC's fighting each other. Is it just me or do they look more dedicated to their cause than that doctor?
