What's medicine? 
          	
          	Case 1- 
          	
          	Le me- taking history *no complaints of fever, cough etc*
          	
          	Patient- Cooperating nicely.
          	
          	Le me in mind- accha patient vah, aaj mast case present karenge.
          	
          	*going through patient ka reports* 
          	
          	*TB- positive* 
          	
          	Le pg ma'am from corner- abey mask kaha, TB hain! 
          	
          	Le the patient- accha beta theek hojaunga na mein? *coughs and sneezes* 
          	
          	Le me who forgot to wear mask- ab mera case kisi ko present karna padega. 
          	
          	The inner me- general ward mein kyu rakhe phir????
          	
          	Case 2- ( based on real life incident)
          	
          	Le doctor- hello uncle namastee!! Cannula lagana hain. 
          	
          	Le that uncle- ha ha lagao betaa 
          	
          	*simultaneously taking history* 
          	
          	Doctor- Viral infections, hiv, hepatitis hein uncle ? *counselling on how it isn't a stigma anymore*
          	
          	Le uncle - nah nah beta kuch nahi 
          	
          	Le the Cannula— *slips, finger injured, needle prick injury*
          	
          	Le dimag- arey viral, hiv vagera nahi hain na chill
          	
          	Le while going through the recent lab reports- HIV positive (severe risk) 
          	
          	Bg music- Jo janam leta hein uska mrityu nishchit hein, aur Jo marta hain uska janam 
          	
          	Moral of the story- get vaccinated completely !
          	
          	Just some medico feelings ~
          	
          	I do understand there’s a lot of stigma around HIV and such, and it still lingers.
          	
          	But yes, I literally had to call home and ask if I was vaccinated against TB after that encounter.

          	  Hello there! :D
          	  
          	  Thank you for your concern. However, I would like to clarify a few things. The doctor who sustained the needle-stick injury is not me. 
          	  
          	  Regarding the TB exposure, thankfully the case was confirmed to be a mild latent tuberculosis infection, not active pulmonary tuberculosis. I still got tested just in case, and the result was negative.
          	  
          	  As for the doctor who sustained the needle-stick injury, they have been on post-exposure prophylaxis for approximately one month. I am not aware of their current follow-up status—but hopefully they are no longer at risk.

@Words_Smith09 well primary complexes could be found in most of us in india if we are screened given the propensity of exposure this afb has been getting through . Not a very great concern though as most of the patients are now being catered without masks nowadays in rural sector . Only after getting the reports the physician gains the urge of preventive means . 
          	  
          	  TB vaccine the regular one in schedule again was against cns and neonatal TB . So congratulations that won't help much against others . But don't worry as I said , not every contact leads to that fate though we can learn from these mistakes and get better while dealing with similar ones in future . 
          	  
          	  HIV , Doc here starts the messy things . Can't risk with that one . Probably your med school should be having you on post exposure prophylaxis sooner . 
          	  
          	  TB +HIV makes a deadly duo though .

dear author, i have a doubt. Looookkk, i really want to read Krishna sundari but i have a doubt. Can you tell me what exactly is the plot. Is it mystical, spiritual? Because the blurb makes me feel like that but i cannot start the book without knowing the plot and this seems especially wrong but your writing seems so gooddd so if you clear this for me i might peacefully start this book i am so excited to read.

okayy i think i'll begin to read once my wretched exams are over

@justlikethatyougotme  I mean, the core notion is that every woman harbours Kaali maa within her, and romance? I wouldn’t  term it as pure romance, however, it is a languid, slow-burning love, suffused with subtle ardour, not explicit.

okay, one more question. Are these characters supposed to resemble like some other characters? Like krishnaa (draupadi?? kali??) and also IS THERE ROMANCE?

Your writing is really great. I love it.
          I can't wait for the next chapters.
          If you have a couple of minutes, feel free to read a few lines of my dystopian novel, which combines humor and love. It's called “Highway One.” Getting feedback from a writing expert like you would be invaluable to me. In any case, keep making us dream. Thank you.
