(I have written this post in good humor, so I would appreciate that no one makes this thread a battlefield. Please read it as one of my ffs rather than take it seriously.) Sumedha had asked me to write a one shot thing and this is what I came up with. Will appreciate all your comments.

Dear Dr. Armaan Malik,
You might not know me, but I have known you for the past 2.5 years or so. In fact, I have followed your career graph, list of achievements and your invaluable contributions in the field of medicine and love very closely. Dr. Shashank is an old friend and colleague of mine and recently presented two very interesting cases to me. One of them is you, Dr. Armaan (please don't be shocked. He did not violate any patient doctor confidentiality as I believe your case is well known to a number of people all over the world, especially young girls who worship the ground you walk on and are very familiar with your diagnosis.) Dr. Shashank mentioned that due to a series of accidents, you have suffered tremendous injury to your brain and as a result there is fear amongst the specialists at Sanjeevani that as time goes by, you might lose your cognitive balance and end up as a psychotic patient. As we, especially doctors, all know that the human brain is a very intriguing and mysterious organ. Not only is it hard to explain all it's functions, it's even harder to predict it's future. As far as I can tell, you are a practicing physician in a remote town near Panchagani and so far in sound state of mind. Therefore, I can reassure you that you should stop living in the fear of what might happen to you in the near future. What I know of you, you are a man who loves to live in the present and not worry too much about the future. Anyone can develop psychosis or neurosis in the future, but that does not mean that we stop living in the present and as a result hurt our near and dear ones. This would be my advise to you as a senior doctor and an older, more experienced person.
Coming to the second case, Dr. Riddhima Gupta, Shashank's daughter. Now, I would call her a serious case. Since she has returned to Sanjeevani, she has been showing distinct signs of psychosis. Psychosis as we all know is a 'mental state in which one is out of touch with reality." Psychosis can present as delusions (when one has false ideas about what is taking place) and hallucinations (when one starts seeing and hearing imaginary things.) I am afraid Riddhima is showing signs of both delusional (paranoia about being molested and raped the moment an intern called Sid comes near her even if it were to save her life.) She has also been having hallucinations as she sees you everywhere, hears music when it's not playing and is defiant about the fact that these are real.
In my expert opinion, it's Riddhima who is gradually sliding into a psychotic state and if we don't intervene right away, this could become a permanent condition for her. She is a very capable doctor at Sanjeevani and I would hate to give her a certificate of 'medically unfit to practice medicine' because of her psychosis.
It's a well known fact that Dr. Riddhima and you love each other a lot and it breaks my heart to say that Dr. Riddhima's near psychosis is a result of this maddening love for you.
Dr. Shashank has asked me to take care of his daughter but as I review the case, I feel there is only one cure for her malady and that is YOU. Dr. Armaan, I request that you leave your personal feelings aside and come back to Sanjeevani to rescue your beloved from this downward spiral of psychosis. I'd hate to put Dr. Riddhima on strong anti psychotics or even the outdated electroconvulsive therapy to reduce some of her psychotic symptoms.
There is some talk of letting Dr. Siddhanth Modi take care of her case. People feel that with time, she will develop feelings and love for him as he really cares about her. In my expert opinion, that would be a recipe for disaster as Dr. Riddhima is likely to slip into deeper psychosis, mistrust and paranoia if that were to happen.
Dr Sid is a nice boy, a young intern who does not need to be burdened with a live wire (pardon me if I insulted your beloved) like Riddhima. There is only one man who can handle Dr. Riddhima Gupta's emotional, physical and now medical needs and that is YOU, Dr. Armaan.
It's my earnest and humble request, that as a responsible doctor and as a man who loves Riddhima more than he loves himself, return as soon as possible to Sanjeevani and back into her life.
Attached is my prescription pad for Dr. Riddhima:
Dx: Near Psychosis
Rx: Dr Armaan Malik
Hope you would think again about your decision and for the sanity of your beloved and everyone around her, return ASAP.
Sincerely,
Dr. Anonymous
