Travel Tales 2....the doc

Hi,


Let's continue with the travel tales folks.....


Just before we left for our trip my younger brother Ishan fell ill....he was running high fever and felt nauseated all the time....when we took him to our family physician Dr. Khanna, our worst fears came true...Ishan was diagnosed with Jaundice!!


This sad piece of information threw our plans to visit Kausani in a jeopardy....we were seriously contemplating cancelling the trip.......


It was Dr. Khanna who proved to be our saviour....or at least for the trip. Doctor uncle said that Sanju (as we fondly call Ishan) could travel but he had to be given loads of Glucon C, Fruits, Boiled Vegetables, radish etc......basically all the stuff any normal human being would like to avoid.....Sanju was very sad, but what to do after all tabiyat ka sawal tha na...


you think that was it...post's over ....no, not yet.....kyunki picture abhi baaki hai dost....and so is the twist.


At the platform while waiting for the Ranikhet Exp...we met an elderly gentleman...with whom I and Sanju got talking...initially about general stuff like damning the unprofessional attitude of the people in the railways, weather in Delhi, Places to see in Kausani etc... Later we got to know that he was retired doctor who used to practice in England. I explained Sanju's problem to him...and Voila!...the doctor saab said that he could eat anything that he wants to...in fact he should eat everything...because it Sanju had crossed the initial stage when Jaundice can be dangerous. Secondly the wide variety of nutrients would help Sanju recover faster.


As expected the happiest person on the train was Sanju.....I forgot to ask the Doctor his name...otherwise would have mentioned it....all that I remember was that he was visiting his nephew in Almora....I remember him telling me that his nephew had a shop in Lala Bazar....well Doctor saab if you happen to read this post and remember the incident...I & Sanju would like to thank you .

Take care till the next post
