lets play doctor doctor..

If I ask you about one thing that terrifies you when you visit a doc, what would it be??? no prizes for guessing.. it is obviously the "Injection".. we tamilians call it "oosi" n hindi for it is "sooi".. ever wondered why the two "oo's" come together???..) well it is probably because that's the sound you make "before" the nurse inserts it in you.. :ooooo :)
i have had many injections in life and i cant forget the 2 most wonderful experiences.. when i was in 6th standard, the nurse came.. fortunately it was not the vodafone incident!! but unfortunbately, i was not grown up enough to enjoy her either!!! she came and spoke to me sweetly & i did not realise the pain while she was injecting that medicine... because i was engrossed in staring her legs...(man!! white socks n white shoes were too extra white n clean !! why cant my mom wash mine like that!!! n i looked up at my mom who was tensed ..well.. she might have read my expression i guess!!) now i regret missing the fun part i could have had with her ;)...
The 2nd most memorable incident happened at Aarogyashala.. trust me .. when i left, all i could read was "ayogyashala!"..the most common funda followed while injecting is "to talk".. the best way to divert the patient!!!

Now being a health conscious person, i went to the doctor in the campus with headache..

i had to wait for almost an hour for the doctor but i did not mind that.. now i was grown up enough to flirt with nurse there.. ;) i tried to push my luck by asking her to give me injection & lied that the pain was unbearable.. she smiled her innocent smile n i won !!! :) finally the doctor came n

Me: Sir, i have severe head ache..
Doc: hmmm.. tell me where is your stomach?
me: ugh!!! (clutched my belly like a kid to show where it is!! where else do you expect it to be man???)
Doc: any other problem
Me: well .. i feel a bit nauseating..
Doc: lay down there, i need to check..
Me: ( is something really serious?? i have a headache..why did he take out the injection??? oh yeah i persuaded the nurse.. but she should enter now.. pls god pls!!!)
Doc: which department are you in?
Me: "Bio"... aaaaaaaaarggggg..( he inserted it) ..."tech" (well 2 dissapointments.. he inserted it.. n it pained like hell!!)
Doc: See it dint pain.. thats y i asked you about your dept..( still struggling with the injection while the needle was doing hip hop in my bum!!)
Me( writhing in pain!)
Doc: by the way which dept did u say??
Me: ( wondering if he is deaf!) "bio".... shit..aaaargh (he inserted it again!!). "tech".. ( 2 dissapointments again.. he was the one to do it again.. n .. the medicine dint get into my system the previous time!!)
Doc: See it must not have pained you.. i know :) thats y we ask your departments... :)
Me.. (dizzied all the more with pain!!)
Doc: Nurse..
Me: (face lit up.. :) :) :) )
Doc: Why isnt the injection working.. see.. i am unable to inject the medicine.
Me: :O @#$%^&$#@ ( was he playing doctor doctor with me?? well.. i dint like the game !!!)
Nurse: (weakly smiling at me..) which department are you in??
me: (why god why ???.. why me of all ppl??) pls do it soon "sister"!!! ....

i went inside pressing my head n came out clutching my bum... :( ofcourse.. the pain in my head went off.. (when you have a greater pain, you forget the lesser one!!!)

Moral- never ever lie to any nurse... &... call them sister, no matter hw much you flirt!!!!!
