Threshold!

Here is another story as told by Dr Ray.
Nepalis ,as a group,have a very high threshold for pain.If a Nepali says he has a slight pain in his right lower abdomen,for example,the diagnosis is appendicitis and he requires appendicectomy.
Once,a Nepali,who was a soldier came to the army doctor and saluted him .
He said,"Doctor,I have a problem with my index finger."
The doctor thought that since he had just saluted with his right hand,the problem must lie with his left hand and asked the soldier to elaborate.
The soldier took out his detached left index finger from the shirt pocket of his uniform and said that this was the finger that was troubling him!He had cut his finger while chopping firewood for the camp.
Hence,Dr Ray says "Be careful while treating Nepalis.Their capacity to bear pain is tremendous!"

Doctor on the move

This is a story that happened on another rainy day.
I was coming back from the hospital library at around 10 PM.It was raining and the weather was foul.Suddenly,the bike in front of me skid and the 2 people on it fell off.I got down form my bike,parked it by the roadside and went to their aid.Imagine their plight when a stranger who is in a debatably presentable condition introduces himself as a doctor and offers a free check-up right by the roadside.They turned out to be fine with only minor scratches and I continued my journey.
A few days after this,when I was going to the hospital in the morning, another set of people in front of me managed to fall off from their bike.The pillion rider turned out to be a pregnant lady and she was bleeding from her scalp wound(a small one).Luckily,a gentleman in a big SUV offered to take the bikers to a nearby hospital and I went on.
All this brings me to the question-How safe are we travelling on these roads?Whenever I travel in my car,I am thankful for the days it doesn't get dented.
Moral of the story-There is none!Advice to myself-Be prepared for accidents ,both to self and to others.
