Finally got it

It's been almost some one and half year since i last went to a hospital.And today i was made to go not one but about half a dozen of them.All of doctors in them pretty much said the same thing"No sir,it isn't possible.It's a huge risk,i can't do it for you".I was frustrated,but was equally desperate to find a doctor who would finally give what i was asking for. Well finally i found a kind doctor who was ready to give me a medical certificate without forcing me into those injections.Yes, i had to show proof that i have taken hepatitis A,hepatitis B,C,D and so on injections.Also to show that i am protected against chickenpox,muttonfox,anthrax, bird flu,animals,spiderman and others.And all these duty bounded doctors decided they wouldn't give me the certificate unless i took all these injections,yes,of course, in their hospital.At one time it reminded me of my attempt to get the signatures from hod which is pretty much like walking in circles(finally got it today on 4th attempt).

And in one of the hospitals,one of them had already started writing prescriptions.He asked my name and started writing "Ce ",then he looked up rather sheepishly and asked does your name have one "e" or two e's?.I told him it doesn't matter anymore(i had to stop him from murdering my name!) and added i don't have money to put so many injections right now and escaped,i believe,a certain death.And this kind doctor who finally agreed in fact made a deal that i have to put atleast one injection and he'll give it.It wasn't good idea to accept it,but andha deal enaku puidichuirundhuchu(means i liked the deal,that is to be precise,there was no other way).Finally he decided to protect me against jaundice,stating it was one of the worst diseases in the world.

Well,the fact is the medical certificate has to show i have put 4 injections,which cannot be put let's say in a day.There has to be atleast 2 day gap between them or that was what i was led to believe by a distant relative who is a medical practitioner and here out of 6 docs 4 were ready to riddle my arm with pricks almost within few minutes of each other.I only hope these guys do not follow the path of other white color dressed group of people,the traffic mamas and make life more difficult,though it seems hope hopen.
