Adhanda Idhanda Indian doctor naandhanda!!!

Ok, indha post-oda main reason pona post-ku vandha comments dhan. Some of the comments sounded like we dont have a proper system in place in India, adhu unmaidhan but namma oorlayum sila pala nalla doctors irukanga. And that is one of the reasons, I dont agree that India-la mothame corrupted unsystematic approach-ntu.

A few years ago, when I was in college and also doing my NIIT, ennoda Amma-va en scooty-la ethikittu NIIT ponen. My college was in AnnaNagar and NIIT was in Parrys (aama, naan 3 different parts of Chennai college days-la connect pannindhen :))). Thirumba varumpodhu we were conversing and at some junction she said "Parthu Usha, oruthan vengama side-lerndhu varan". I avoided that person and oru 20 metres poirupen, ennada pinnadi weight-um therila, kuralum kanume-nu thirumbi partha...en Amma-va kanom!!

Padhari adichutu, I stopped my scooty and turned back to find my Mom lying on the road near the platform. She had fallen down, and being hit by the platform, had become unconscious. Eppadi vizhundanga-nu therila, but anyways, I gathered my senses and arranged for an auto to take her to the nearest hospital, which happened to be Kilpauk medical hospital. Enaku slight-a hesitation irundhadhu, ennada inga vandhirukome-nu, but well, I didnt have a choice and I admitted her there.

Scan pannanga, X-Ray eduthanga to check her head injury and she was taken on a mobile stretcher to another room where she was treated by a doc. And a few minutes later, she regained consciousness much to my relief and asked me "En inga vandhen?"...I could barely suppress my apprehension that she'd ask who I am, but ok, avanga kekkala. Appuram doc kitta pesinen, and he asked me to admit her in a private hospital and that the preliminary treatment has been taken care of.

Kilambumpodhu naan usual procedure dhane-ntu, avarkitta unga fees enna-nu ketten...avlodhan!! Pottu midhi midhi-nu midhichuttaru, "enma neenga educated dhane (aamama, college padikarenla), oru govt hospital vandhu panam tharenreengale, arivilla ungaluku?"-ntaru! "Illa sir, normal-a doctor fees...", "Naan kettena? velila enna ezhudhiruku? Free medication-ntudhane? (and suddenly growing suspicious) vera yaravadhu inga kettangala?" I had to hastily hide the fact that the maid and the stretcher-guy had asked for money, "Illa illa, theriyama panten, sorry"-ntu escape aayiten. And then I took my mother to Apollo hospital and admitted her, and then called up my dad..adhellam vera kadhai.

But the point here is that, India isnt 100% corrupted that we are completely hopeless in India when it comes to hospitals. And since then, I have never been able to accept if someone says negatively, enna college padikumpodhu manasula padhinju pochu parunga.
