Plastic surgery for common cold!!!!!

Don’t think that this is a new form of treatment for swine flue or anything. I just needed a catchy title for the story I am about to tell.

Two months before, I had common cold & a bad running nose. I was least interested in visiting a doctor.Because….. those were the happy….swine flu free days.

But I need to submit some medical bills to the so-called company that I work for.I found this as an excellent opportunity.  So, I choose a doctor who was very much near by .I entered the clinic and was asked to wait in the waiting room.The clinic looked like a grand manor, with well-furnished with AC, TV …angry kids….miserable mothers….patients with pain…etc..Just then I looked at the nameboard …which said “Plastic Surgeon-PS”. Oops…..but heard the local mass saying , that he treats general problems as well. So I continued waiting. After some time, my turn to visit the “Plastic Surgeon” came.

The Doc was an middle-aged person, about 45 approx. I told him about my common cold. He prescribed the necessary medicines.This ought to be the end of my story, had I went to a general doctor. But this is where a twist occured, since our Doc is a “PS”. As I was about to leave, he asked me to sit down and scrutinitized(scanned) my face. After five seconds, he gave a triumphant smile.

[The conversation that took place]

PS-DOC: Child, Is that a scar on your face?

POOR ME:…Er…yeah?

PS-DOC: How did you get that ?

POOR ME:..(feeling very proud) Oh that one….When I was in class first, I had a fight with my classmate and he pushed me to the bench corner.And that is how I got this wonderful scar.

PS-DOC: Oh poor dear. Look at you!!!…..You eyebrow is quarter bald…….If you want I can fix that for you easily.

ANGRY ME: (Stunned…but within control)…er…thanks….but I dont want that….I like my scar actually…..(Trying to crack a joke)…You know??…. even Harry potter’s got a scar on his forehead….ha?….Get it?…..Besides isn’t it fashionable?

PS-DOC: (Giving me the …is she nuts look) Oh dear…you dont understand….Just a minute…He took a HI-FI Digi Cam…..and zoomed to highest extent and clicked a snap of my scar and gave it to me. Look at this. I mean LOOK AT THIS. What if your future husband doesnt like it?…..If money is a problem, I could do it for free……

I really got pissed off. But I controlled my anger, because he was not teasing me. I could see a fatherly concern. Infact I felt pity for him. Or is it a business tactic?…I may never know……

And I clearly  told him…..I have never got such a thought….and NEVER WILL…….I will not go under a knife….for such a silly reason……..

He smiled and with a naughty twinkle in his eyes, said….Wanna Bet??…..Someday you will come to me saying to correct this…….

Well…..Bring it ON…….Such a thing will never happen……I smiled my reply and swept my way out of the clinic.

Well…..serves me well, for going to a plastic surgeon to get treated for common cold……..:-)
