An Unexpected Twist
The Out Patient Ward in SRK Hospitals was almost deserted. This was a gynaecology ward which would usually be very busy at this time of the day. But, it being a Sunday there weren’t many patients. In fact, Anjana was the only patient waiting in the lobby sitting in the hard seat that was never comfortable. She couldn’t understand the logic behind placing such uncomfortable chairs in a hospital where the patients were expected to wait. Did the management expect the patients to bring their own chairs and beds with them?
As she waited for the doctor to call her, Anjana recalled the conversation she had had with Professor Kumara Swamy. “I have spoken to Dr. Nandini of SRK Hospitals. She has agreed to look at you. She’s the best gynaecologist in the country. Don’t do anything till you hear her opinion. She will tell you what to do next.” He had said. “She will also refer you to the best counsellor if need be.”
