Are you by any chance trying to kill yourself?
Oh! No! I'm not!
Then why are you so stubborn? Don't you know that there is a chapter called rest in everyone's life?
Yea. I know. I do rest.
How many hours do you rest in a day?
Hmmm... I'm not really sure.
Okay. Let me rephrase it. How many hours do you work?
18 hours. Give or take. I do have some recreational activities. Three times a week. And when I'm extraordinarily tired, I park at the side and rest for a while.
So you sleep for 6 hours.
Yup. Approximately.
Deep, undisturbed sleep?
No! Never i guess. I can't remember undisturbed sleep. It's always disturbed. Bad dreams, nightmares..
They're both the same.
Oh, no! Bad dreams make you sad. Nightmares make you scared. Two different things.
So, you don't realize that you're overworking yourself.
There's no overwork in my line of duty. There are no pauses. Children grow every second. They need moulding. Guiding. Like someone said, " children are the world's greatest resource". I'm good with my work.
How bad is your pain?
It's there. Every time i inhale gently it's not so evident. When i pull in deep just to test whether it's there, it's there. No doubt about it. You know i don't lie. I wish i could bluff you.
And i wish i could knock some sense into you.
Please do. Just because you've known me almost a lifetime, it doesn't mean you can be rude and obnoxious to me. If i had studied harder, if i had been given proper guidance I'd be a doctor too!
If you had a different doctor you would have been kicked out from the hospital.
So what's stopping you from doing that?
Perhaps compassion. I've not forgotten your kindness, your help. A friend in need..
Hmmm. Cool. I'm glad you're as helpful as you are. I'm afraid sometimes. Afraid of the why's and what's.
But if you don't really act accordingly you're going to get into trouble. Your medication?
Hmmm... I read the contraindications. It's no good for the kidneys. You know you guys want to repair one organ and kill another? I'm sorry but i feel that's the truth. Let's look at it this way, k.
If i leave it to nature and apply a healthy lifestyle, i live another five to ten years. With your medication i might live for 15 years and the final five years will be filled with aahhs and oohhs of discovering what these medication did to me. Lamenting that, my liver is sick because of this drug and my kidney is unhappy because i ate this pill. No thanks bro!
Hey! How many times i told you never to call me that?
Yes.. Doctor B. I'm very sorry. Look don't panic like I'm going down too soon. I'm going to live my life my way. Just don't forget about my request. Anything goes awry please remember to open that envelope i gave you and forward that mail to that particular address.
Yeah sure. And again I'm telling you I'm quite clear with your plea. You don't have to keep saying it this many times. It annoys me.
Hmmm. I'm not really buying your jealous outburst. I know you're more anxious and a little agitated with my stubbornness. I'm happy as i am. Please leave it.
Okay. Okay. Will you send me a mail too?
Ha! Ha! You're funny. I'd tell you what i need to say. To your face. In fact I've already said a lot. You're here. He's not. He's far far away.
Your mystery man.
My mystery man. And that's all there is to it. Stop giving me that look. I should make another confession.
Which is?
I didn't go for the MRI.
What? Why?
Why should i? If there is something wrong with my nerves or ligaments or tendons, what can you do to them? I'm not going to let anymore needles into my system. I'm done. Please.
I can't believe you at times. Lost for words.
Well, I'm really sorry i don't dance to your tunes. Go do some work like a surgeon should. Bye.
Bye. You take care. Anything call me.
Sure. Sure. Cheerio.
Oh! No! I'm not!
