Showing your Doctor down, won't take you anywhere.

I recently met a 24yr old young lady Anita (name changed) who had 3 abortions within last 6yrs.

When I asked her, don't you fear this will affect your chances of having a baby with your husband, she ignorantly said -

"Ma'am with all due respect, but it's not going to happen to me.. I am so healthy, I eat well, I sleep well, I earn very well.. there is nothing that can take away my happiness from me."

I kept silent and smiled at her ignorance, a few moments later she said - 

"Ma'am, I plan to get married by 30, so if I cannot get pregnant at that time, I will have enough money, that I can consult you or any other gynaecologist in the world.. they will give me a child"

I smiled further, now trying to prove her superiority, she said -
"Ma'am if I cannot conceive, I will do what SRK and Aamir did, I will rent a womb!!"

I kept looking at her in irony, as she had no idea what she was talking about. 

I would have loved to tell her about the physical and psychological pain she would have to endure. How it could even drive her towards suicide... But I just kept quiet.

As she saw that her trying to show superiority didn't affect me, it made her anxious. Her face made it so evident, she was Alice in Wonderland - With trembling voice - 

"Do you think i will get pregnant??? ... Ma'am, can you give me some tips.. I promise I will adhere by them..."

I smiled and thanked her for coming.

THE INDIAN SOCIETY HATES DOCTORS... EVERYONE TRIES TO SHOW A DOCTOR DOWN.

YOU JUST WANT TO PROVE US WRONG.

YOU GET INTO AN EGO BATTLE TRYING TO SHOW US WRONG.

DOCTORS ACTUALLY DON'T CARE... THEY ARE TOO BUSY IN THEIR OWN LIFE AND THEIR OWN PROFESSION.

YOU JUST END UP HURTING YOUR OWN SELF.

A GOOD DOCTOR NEVER GIVES YOU A BAD ADVICE.

A GOOD PATIENT NEVER LETS GO OF A GOOD DOCTORS ADVICE.

Follow health and healthy living.
