Datta's Adventure

How the hospitals of inda saved a good man’s life…

Here is the story of Datta, a man who has been through the fleecing sessions of the corporate hospitals of Chennai., he was locked in the ICCU … intensive cardiac care unit…for eating a pastry… stripped naked in public, given paper to wear, punctured with needles, put though an MRI, ECG, CT Scan, and every conceieveble type of medical test….now, the question to ask is..why did this happen,  just because his face was a little puffed up… my first thought was c’mon….. an avil can do what all this has done at one thousandth the rate.

It was another night in chennai, when datta, Samhita and Pooja went on a mega food date ,  to hot breads, not really the most romantical place… but has a lot of bread,

The mystery is still what did they eat… bread was definitelyon my mind when I heard where they went. But the fact is he ended  up in mallar hospitals, and was pushed into the ICCU..

When Varun, Girish, and Me went there the next day… and waltzed into the hospital.. we found adi flirting with the nurse at the reception, not realy pretty but maby it is the mallu link I think.. so we grabbed adi before he made any more cassanova moves at the nurse who was as perplexed as a caged giant panda in  a Chinese zoo.

We went up to the ICCU on the third floor…. In that rickety lift…  which I think was the most stressful part of being in the hospital, not knowing when the damn thing will just snap off the ropes and fall….

Suddenly, there was a flurry of activity, nurses waking up and down, attenders running helter scelter,  and the huge doors of the ICCU opend, and there emerged Datta,

Like a tortured man from a natzi concentration camp… but still strong,
like a reed in the nile  river…surviving, and trying to smile through the pain….

But it was not over, they were not done with him yet, they still wanted to observe him, try and figure out where they could fleece more out of…

Then he was taken to a room, and was put on a bed, it then dawned on us there what to tell datta about the bill… we were all scared about him getting a heart attack when he found out the bill…. Which was a hefty sum considering he was there only for a face swelling….
And it was all there to see.. we decided to come up with a way to tell it to him…

Varun, came up with the psychological strategy of putting it across to him…. In this picture you can see varun deep in thought .

Girish waiting to see his reaction …..

But, it did not turn out all that bad, they did fleece him, but not as much as was thought. He did not get a heart attack, but a heart burn from the crappy hospital food. He is now in Bangalore, eating bisibelebath and tomato curd.. hoping to full facial recovery.
