had a cardiac arrest. I was admitted in the hospital. I was there for ten days. I was discharged only last week. I’m
convalescing at my son’s place now. The neighbour over three coughs all night. I’m already suffering from
insomnia. I thought I could go over to my daughter’s place in Bangalore. But you know I have wheezing, and the
climate over there might aggravate it. Moreover…..

Mr. Illingworth : Which doctor?
Mr. Wellington : The doctor at the clinic, where I see you, whenever I pass by.

Doctor : Your liver is slightly enlarged. Let me see your eyes. Yes, your eyes too are discoloured -slightly yellow.
You are heading for a liver-infected problem. It could be infectious hepatitis through a virus or a starting process of
damage through excessive and
destructive food habits. We’ll go in for all the required tests and start treatment. But as for now, the nurse in the next
room will give you an injection to reduce your pain and I’ll prescribe some medicine for relief (writes the

fit. Meet me again after two days. I advise full rest till then.
