As said in my privious blog…. I started the day with mild pain and thought of visiting the doctor during the week end..
Over the night swelling increased n pain was unberable…. Had to streatch the night with unbearable pain… After reaching home it(pain) only worsened… Then called a doctor uncle of mine who asked to apply some ice and it gave immediate solace…
As always the choice was Sei Ramachandra Medical College (SRMC) as it is economical, legitimate & its near to my house…
Since i couldnt walk i opted for a wheel chair… On the orthopadic block there was confusion as to consult which doctor? As I requested to meet the senior doctor and the file I carried had the history that I was consulting a different doctor before… Yes last time I visited to check up a ortho doctor to get an opinion…. I was asked to get a new file to meet a doctor of my choice…. Considering the time taken for getting a new file i agreed to meet the existing doctor…
Again doctor was on leave and i was asked to meet his assistant who was sitting on OP block… I pleaded to take me to any doctor who can attend me immediately…
Since private consultation is expensive than out patient consultation they had to get doctors consent and finally I got the permission… Again I was taken on a wheelchair by a lady attender….
- First she crashed the stressed ankle in the lift…
- Then on a person who was walking…
Then went to the block and again the uninformed nurseidols me that I was sitting on women’s ward…. I said I could bare the pain and requested for a change in rule… Fortunately a senior nurse came and said it is unisex 🙂 ward and there was no bifercation on gendre…
Finally I entered consultation room where two doctors were attending (one male and the other was a pretty female)… As always I prayed that she attends me and as history repeats my bad luck continued…. I was attended by male doctor :(… I was asked to get an x-ray…
Then went to the x- ray ward and they said private patients can’t take x-ray in OP ward… This time I gave up and it was my friend Ravi who ran pillar to post and made it happen… After seeing the x- ray I was told it was a Ligament Stress and was advised to take rest for a week, wear a band and take pain killer pills for a week…
Not sure how am I going to manage next couple of days as my parents won’t allow me to anything until I’m fully fit…
