Chapter 7

• Parth's POV
• I was looking at her, " S.sorry, sir! " She said.
• " It's ok!! I am fine... introduce yourself. " I said looking at her.
• " Hello, I am Dr Riya Verma ." She said avoiding looking at me.
• " Look at me while you are talking to me! " I said in a very hard tone. I needed to be strict with her but a tear slipped from her eyes.
• Oh, no!
• " Ok, sir !! I am Dr Riya Verma. " She said but another tear rolled down.
• I felt bad for the girl but I had to be strict with her.
• " Hello, everyone, as you already know, I am Dr Parth Rajvanshi. So, for the next three months, you all will be assisting me. Welcome to the Pathology department. " I said with a polite professional smile.
• " Thank you, sir. " They said.
• " Under Pathologist Internship one needs to examine cells and tissue samples, as well as doing autopsies, to identify diseases... A therapist specializes in a wide range of disorders, including cancer, and pathologists make the majority of cancer diagnoses. One must have the ability to perfectly include examining the results of blood tests, smear tests, and tissue removal. " I said and they all nodded and noted down everything.
• " I made some quick notes for you about the common diseases, their problems, various tests to check them, their symptoms etc. Just go through them first." I said.
• " Right sir, that is so nice of you sir, the notes will be very helpful. " Disha said and I nodded.
• Well, thank God! At least one of my interns was normal. I smiled at her.
• " But I want you to read in detail about them. " I said.
• " Sure, sir !! " Disha said. Riya and Kunal just nodded.
• " Please, check the records of the patients and study about their problems and various tests. Make notes of them. " I said. They nodded.
• " You all will learn many things like to examine and talk to a range of patients, using diagnostic skills to determine what tests need to be carried out. Support and advise clinical staff to help them choose the correct tests. Work alongside biomedical scientists while they complete laboratory tests. " They all were listening carefully.
• " What else sir? " Disha asked. It seemed only she was enthusiastic about learning.
• " You should be able to educate colleagues in the use and limitations of each diagnostic investigation, Provide advice and interpretation of test results and the appropriateness of further investigations, Deliver clinical care to patients and Conduct ward rounds and outpatient clinics. That's all for now. " I said and the three of them nodded and asked a few questions from me. I made them understand everything.
• Dr Riya was not even looking at me.
• I know she was shocked to see me as well, that's why she got nervous. She doesn't want to talk to me... Fine by me! I just need to tell her to be at a safe distance from me.
• It was half-past eleven, patients had started coming, so I called my interns to my room. And assigned them their duties.
• There were many patients. I told them to see their reports ask the patients about their problems and symptoms and note them down.
• Riya's POV
• The day was busy as we had to get to understand everything and create a rapport between us too. Both Disha and Kunal seemed to be very good. Kunal was being very friendly but it seemed that Dr Grumpy did not like him much. He looked annoyed with him and gave him lots of work.
• So much so that he did not get free even at the lunch break. We waited for him to get free but Dr Grumpy said, that he can take a break once his work is completed. We went to have our break, while Kunal kept working.
• I saw Dr Parth, dragging his friend to the cafeteria.
• " Parth, leave me!! " his friend said.
• " Shut up!! Have some food!! Are you trying to kill yourself? I told you, I will take care of him, he would not be able to interfere in your life. But you need to take care of yourself. I can't see you sulking, I swear, I will do something, you would not like. " Dr Parth said.
• He really seemed to be in love with this doctor.
• " I am fine!! What are you planning?? " His friend asked.
• " I will give him so much work that he would never be able to get free during lunchtime. In fact, I will change his lunchtime and keep him occupied at lunch hour. " Dr parth said with a naughty expression.
• Who were they talking about??
• He?? Kunal?? He was the only male assistant Dr Parth had and he was already keeping him busy for lunch. But why??
• " You are such a devil. " His friend said with a glint in his eyes.
• " Anything for you, my love. " Dr Parth said. He is so loving and caring towards his... friend.
• " Awww... I am flattered. I am so fortunate to have you in my life." His friend said embracing him.
• " Me too!! Now be happy or I would not be responsible for my actions. " Dr Parth said.
• Really?? Oh, God!! I almost blushed to hear him say that.
• Parth's POV
• After lunch, I came back to my cabin and told Kunal to have his break. He made a face but didn't say anything.
• We got busy with all patients which kept coming for the tests and reports. I assigned their duties to them.
• It was their first day, so I let them understand everything and told them to ask me if they didn't understand anything. The day was over without any other mishappenings though Dr Riya was around.
• Riya's POV
• Thank God, the day was over without another accident. I have always been very clumsy and I always faced lots of problems because of that but I didn't want any more of them.
• So I thought of being more organised from now on, especially around Dr Parth. He already had a very bad impression of me.
• He was engrossed in checking the reports standing near the counter.
• I thought of saying sorry to him again. We didn't start on a good point, maybe I should start afresh. For a start, I thought of organising everything in our doctor's room and cleaning any clutter we had created so I started doing it. If we were going to share a space in the hospital as well as in the home, we should be compatible.
• It was my way of offering a truce. I closed all the reference books we had used. Straightened all the chairs put everything in its place and just when I looked around and appreciated my work, I heard a startled cry.
• I looked around and saw Dr Grumpy lying on the floor, cursing using colourful words.
• But how did he fall??
• Weird man!!
• " What the hell?? Who the hell removed the chair from here? And why?? "
