HS: Diagnose & Treat (Fun Post)

Gul Ammi & Gorky Papa are discussing together

Gul Ammi: Bahut dinon se dekh rahi hun, hamara beta HS kafi patla hota ja raha hai. Abhi chaar paanch mahine hi huven hai lekin iski health improve hi nahi ho rahi. kya kiya jaye?

Gorky Papa: Lagta hai Dr ko dikhana padega. Let me make an appt with Dr. Khurana.

Both bring the 5-month old newborn to the hospital and meet with Dr. Khurana.

DK:<Smiling brightly>So what's the problem with this kiddo? What's happening?

GA: Dr. dekhiye na. His health is deteriorating day by day. Please give him a checkup.

DK:OK I will do that. But first let's get some background info, shall we? So, tell me what have you been feeding him so far?

GA:Well at first we gave him a healthy dose of logic tonic. I have read in "What to expect.." book to make sure baby gets healthy nutrition.

GP: Yes, and not only that, for his brain development, I have been reading him Parveen Shakir's poetry every night.

DK:<Interrupting> Aha.. stop right there. Madam, therein lies the problem. Such a heavy diet for such a small kid? No wonder he is not able to digest and steadily losing weight. <Turns towards GP> And my dear sir, he needs something that will grab his attention, not lull his senses.

GP & GA:<confused> Then Doctor, Please tell us what should we do? We want our baby to be happy and healthy. You have been highly recommended to us by all.

DK:<smiling confidently>No worries at all. You have come to the right place. The range of my practice is indeed vast. Be it a coma patient, a pregnancy test, kidney treatment or pediatrics. I handle it all with the utmost and sensitive care that it deserves. So here is the plan. For the next several weeks, I would like you to throw away logic tonic and not a word of poetry whispered anywhere in the house. I have here a CD of songs with spooky music for you to play for him every night. Make sure the bedtime story has a ghost, magic or monsters in it. That will grab his attention and he will be very alert. I will write a prescription for another tonic which will make him gain weight in no time.

GP&GA:<Thanking profusely> Thanks very much doctor. You have saved our baby.
