Waiting Page #5

---

By the way I have started

chanting like you said...

You did?... Good girl!

Yeah... so...

they will take Rajat for a...

Let me take you to a spa...

oh sorry...

There is a blood

clot in Rajafs brain...

...and they are going to remove it...

they want to operate on him.

Why can't they use

these clot busting drugs?

I don't know...

I have read about it somewhere.

Let me just google it.

Clot busting drugs... you know...

it's like they give

you an injection...

...and it dissolves your

blood clots

like magic... in seconds.

It's for people with like

strokes and heart attacks...

Probably they can't use it on Rajat

or they would have suggested it right?

I bet it's because

it's too expensive...

Have you spoken to your insurer?

No...

Tara. You don't know your insurer?

Look I'm sure the

doctors know their sh*t.

The doctors now a days

are only interested...

...in mooching maimum money off you,

not to cure you!

Oh...

-V\/hat...?

In trauma cases they avoid using

clot busting drugs.

It's too risky.

Mrs. Deshpande, you can come now.

Full Cochin girl you have become.

Baby. lsh is here.

He can hear you?

I don't know

Hey Rajat.

We are all praying for you, okay...

Dileep and kids miss you a lot.

In fact, Dileep has stopped playing

tennis without you.

Enough now Rajat...

Just get the hell back and get up now!

And quickly tell us what

is the net best TV show to watch!

Homeland Season 4

has also started now.

Come on!

...and repeat this guy one

more time okay, and all of them...

Doctor can I just have

five minutes with you...

I'll just. -l'll call you.

Whatever time, I'll be there.

Doctor, I have come across

at least fifteen more cases...

Please come in.

...where spinal decompression

was administered...

...and more than half the cases there

was at least a marginal improvement...

Professor... - This is..

You have to stop this. Please.

Doctor my wife needs

a spinal decompression surgery

Why don't you understand?

Surely it's not the most

complicated procedure in the world...

Why don't you read about this case...

You don't think I know this case?

I have written for some

of these journals, Professor.

I have been doing this for

twenty years. You have to trust me.

But you must

empathise with me too.

This procedure can't make

her any worse than she is.

But I know why you are not doing it.

It's the hospital board

which is possibly pressurising you...

...to shut my case since they think

it's a hopless case...

Don't waste time on it.

Is there no end to greed?

Okay, can I just say something.

Your wife is my responsibility.

I decide what is best for

my patients not the board - Then...

I decide... please!

Hovv many times will I repeat myself.

There is no surgery in the

world which will revive your wife.

It will only cause her more pain.

Is that what you want to do?

Alright then whatever you may say,

but one way or another...

I will save her.

I promise you that.

Professor, this is not the way.

I am not moving from here.

Poor gUY!

Yeah... his wife has been

in coma for over ten months now.

He thinks she needs an operation...

...but the hospital wants

to disconnect her ventilator.

What nonsense!

Hovv can the hospital decide!

He should decide!

His wife has every right to live.

Live and do what! I mean,

she probably will never wake up.

If he desires so,

then the hospital must operate.

He must have paid sh*t

loads of money already.

You can't do this! I'm not moving!

Let go!

Hey!

You want my wife to die and

give the room to somebody else.

To some rich people!

See! I told you it is about the money.

My heart goes out to him.

Ish!

Ya?

I want to ask you something.

What happened baboon!

You be strong about this.

And the thing is I'm with

you on this.

And I'm here, okay.

Yes get the car keys, I will

be down in three and a half minutes.

9K8)'-

Sir, Mrs. Deshpande wants

to see you

Saumya, not today... please

tell her tomorrow.

Sir, she is insisting...

Doctor I'm really

sorry to force my way...

...in so late but I really

have to speak to you.

It's okay. Come in please.

This is my friend lshita...

Have a seat.

What can I do for you?

Well, I have changed my mind.

I don't want Rajat

to have this operation.

Sorry? What?

I just... I don't want to

subject my husband to any more pain.

Your husband is a

young and healthy man...

It will be stupid to not

give him this chance, really.

I discussed it at length with

my friend,

and I have made up my mind.

I don't want this operation.

And who do you think

you are to decide that.

And what do you think this is...

...some 'Who wants to

be a Millionaire' quiz show?

Where phoning a friend

will get you the right answer?

You know I am the doctor here,

not her!

Your husband has a very

good chance to get better.

And I will ensure

that he gets that chance.

He is her husband.

And you can't force her to, okay?

You know that's the problem

with you rich people.

You take medical

treatment for granted.

Go and see sometime,

the state of poor people...

...outside a government hospital...

...who sell their lands and homes

and everything they ovvn...

...and sleep on road side...

...only to ensure that their

loved ones get a chance to live.

You guys are sitting in

a state-of-the-art hospital...

...vvith five star amenities,

and you think you know about pain?

You have no idea, I'm sorry!

Yeah maybe I have no idea

but I know my rights, doctor.

Mrs. Deshpande,

you can take your rights

and do what you want with them.

I know my job.

And I will make sure

I do what I have to do.

Wow.

What an a**hole.

Oh my God.

What's this?

And hovv I thought

that after retirement...

...we will always

spend time together...

...and look at you, deserting

your pretty wife on a Saturday night

...for that silly cricket match...

Hovv dare you!

Is it a girl? ls she pretty?

Hey, come on... you know I

don't have any secrets from you...

Ah... tell it to the Pope!

Put that book down now. Get ready.

Hey, remember this...

Oh... the blue glitter

you wore at my wedding!

Feels like another lifetime...

You remember hovv Rajat

made us down all those shots?

And then that... disaster... Lokesh!

Dropped the entire

bag of mushies in the sea...

Went into the sea looking

for it for five hours...

And missed your

wedding in the process.

F***er he didn't even come once...

Actually,

Cochin is kind of out of the way...

Oh please!

It's not Brazil exactly.

It's only a two hour flight

Even if they don't come,

they still care.

9K8)'-

They do!

Yes Mummy!

Your phone is always ringing,

you know that?

Oh sh*t!

You didn't have to drop me.

I could have walked.

Sorry!

Don't be sorry.

Dileep is so worried.

Aryan has never had

such high fever ever before.

And I have also not

been away like this.

Aryan should be your priority.

In fact I am feeling a bit guilty.

I will be back soon okay, I promise.
