My father had a thyroid surgery a week ago, so we had to go for a check-up. Reached there in time, check-up was done. Now it's "my" turn. Yes, I have had this nose bleeding problem since my childhood, but neglected it due to the fear of hearing those "dreadful words". Doc has suggested some n number of tests as usual and I had most of them done on that day.
During the DNE test, another senior doc said that there was some problem with my nose. Some of the blood vessels, which usually are buried under the skin are on the surface for me and so nothing can be done, it's default. Medicines would suffice, said the doc. I was happy, but little did I know what was coming my way.
Two more "tests" were to be done the next day and I was prepared for them coz I knew there was nothing anyone could do anything about my faulty nose, by default, wait a min, or did I already knew what was coming?
The next day, after both the tests, I had to wait 2 long hours for my "reports". Huh!, waiting is such a damn thing on the earth and more so when you know it wouldn't mean any shit to you. I donno how I passed my "waiting" time, perhaps, there was a signal in itself. From the diagnostics centre, I reached the hospital at around 6:30 in the evening and again had to "wait" for 2 more hours. As soon as my turn has come, I went inside and sat down only to see the sorry face of the doc.
How long did you have this problem? asked the doc, since my fourth class, out came my reluctant answer. I was sensing the air, the expressions of the doc. Just for a moment I thought I was in a different world all together. Sorry faces everywhere, sufferings all around, as if amidst a world of disaster. Out came the dreaded words
Son, you need an immediate surgery to your nose
Ahhh! those words peirced through me like thousands of needles in my belly.....
