Chalo chalo jaldi karo Dean ke aane ka time ho raha hai...koi kaam chhootna nahi chahiye... These and other lines and phrases similar to these were all what Dr Nidhi could hear in the entire ward. This was the morning after her first night duty in KGH. She being the fresh intern could not really understand what was going around but as told by everyone ...she knew that the Dean of the hospital Dr Ashutosh was very strict and he didn't tolerate any kind of carelessness in work from anyone. Thus everyone in the hospital tried to do their best and complete all their work in time. But she had not seen his true face as off now and she was fearing what would happen when she would get to see him in his full form which everyone here talks about. Many interns have left the hospital in the past because of his strict behavior ... she was still not able to understand what made her join this hospital? She could have easily joined some other hospital but her destiny landed her over here...where the Dean is ready to torture any and everyone.
She had been on her toes all through the night with no time to rest but she wasn't worried about that at that moment...she was scared of the first encounter with him and she was supposed to present the cases of those patients who had been admitted during the night. Although she had tried to complete her work as per her understanding but... She wasn't confident enough this time although this wasn't the situation before with her over these years. After some time he arrived and the entire hospital went into a pin drop silence...only noise that could be heard would be that of some monitors, equipments or some children crying who were admitted there. Every second her anxiety was increasing and her heartbeat racing faster. Soon he came to the ward allotted to her and during the rounds he was going through the nurses notes when he asked who is supposed to present the cases today on the rounds?
Slowly Nidhi came forward and stood in front of him...he was waiting for someone to speak up but as he was going through some other notes she didn't start presenting.
Dr Ashutosh: who is supposed to present? Does that person need a special invitation?
Nidhi got scared and she introduced herself as the one who is supposed to present...he saw her and realized that it was her first night duty...he asked her to present but as expected, the presentation wasn't upto the mark. Dr Ashutosh became furious as he didn't like fallacies in presentation on rounds.
Dr Ashutosh: is this how you present a case? Who has taught you like this?
Nidhi: Sir...Sir...
Dr Ashutosh: what sir sir? You are going to rectify your presentations before leaving and show it to me in my office...you understand that...
Nidhi: Sir...today only...
Dr Ashutosh: how many days do you need to prepare? (he spoke a bit louder this time which left Nidhi shivering a bit in front of him)
Nidhi: yes Sir I'll do that...
Dr Ashutosh: you better do that today itself... I want to meet you in a couple of hours by the time I finish my rounds...is it clear...?
Nidhi just nodded slightly in agreement but her eyes were moist... Sab theek hi kehte the ...yeh Dean to bahut khatarnak hai...she thought. After the team went ahead for the rest of the rounds, Deepa another intern came upto her and asked her...
Deepa: Nidhi tu ab kaise karegi?
Nidhi: karna to padega warna yeh khadoos mujhe jaane nahi dega... Kya soch kar main yahan aa gayi?
Deepa: wo sab to theek hai lekin aaj sham ki jo party hai jisme hospital ka poora staff aayega... usme tu kaise jayegi...tu to soyi bhi nahi hai...
Nidhi: wo to main bhool hi gayi thi...ab kya karenge?
Deepa: hmm waise bhi tujhe yeh jaldi jaane nahi denge...tu dekh lena...meri ek senior this yahan pe...uske saath bhi aisa hi kiya tha...wo bechaari to kuchh hi mahinon mein yahan se chhod kar chali gayi thi...
Nidhi: yaar tu na mujhe dara mat... Ek kaam karenge...yahan se free hote hi main tere ghar aa jaaungi...wahan se ready hokar party mein challenge... Dean ke strict orders hain ki sab ko party mein aana hi hai...warna to main wahan kabhi nahi jaati...
Deepa: haan yeh theek rahega... mere paas ek dress hai tu wo pehen lena...theek hai...cha lab tu jaldi se kaam khatam kar aur koshish kar ki jaldi se jaldi free hokar yahan se nikal jaye...
Deepa left from there and Nidhi started making her presentation after discussion with some seniors there who just gave her a vague idea about how the Dean expected the presentations to be... She was really tired and sleepy but she had to complete her work so that she can leave early and take some rest before going for that party where she didn't want to go at all. After 2 hours she managed to complete her work and went to the Dean's office. The peon outside told her that he has still not come back from the rounds and she shall wait outside till the time he comes. She went and sat on a chair outside his office and waited for him to return.
