The house was a double-story designer house with high fencing and iron gate – only one such in the village. He banged the Iron Gate somewhat loudly.

Dr Ankit saw across the table a well dressed father with tucked in striped shirt standing with a younger kid (his son) with swollen neck with nodules all round, puffy face, a visibly darker appearance than his father, fewer scalp hair and unusual depigmented spots over both the palms.

© Dr Sujeet Kumar Ward rounds had just finished and Ankit had just touched down the chair in doctors duty room with a thick register called “round register” which may a times is filled with wisdom received from elders.  He leaned backwards with a sigh to rest himself and asked Sharma, do we have today’s blood reports ?
