In the hospital

The next day i went to Mr.Ajit Agarwal's class. He started vectors. I was attentive for sometime. But soon i got a headache. I couldn't concentrate. After the class i went to clinic. Until then i never knew that clinics or hospitals were so dirty. I went with headache and slept there for a few hours. Then i came back to my room with cough and cold. The next day i got fever due to that. I went to clinic again. There was one guy in a chair with a white coat on. I told him that i had fever. He looked at me seriously...say very seriously as if he was solving an IIT problem. He took out a thermometer and and asked me to keep it under the tongue.
I did . He again said "under your tongue". After sometime he took it out and said ." Your body temp is 101 degrees", he sat silently for sometime thinking something. I was thinking about what I was supposed to do if I have anything like typhoid or something...go back home?...he opened his mouth after a few minutes. He said slowly " You have fever. I ll give u medicine". Then he gave me two crocin tablets. Huh i thought he would tell me something dangerous. I told him that I had them already. Then he took off his coat and said " ok, doctor will come in the evening. You meet him". I was shocked. He wasn't the doctor. I asked him who he was..." anta build up enduku ecchavu ra?" ani andam anipinchindi...he said in an authoritative voice "i m the one and only compound er of this gowtham college".
