March 3 ,2012,
It was their dream come true day for all those who aspired to be doctors. It was the first day of internship for Avani and her friends. They wore their new aprons with stethoscope around their neck instead of being in their pockets as students. Their name batches had changed .It had become black letters on white background instead of white letters on black background with affix Dr. written across. Dr.Avani Narasimhan, Dr.Ananya Horatti, Dr.Pooja M U,Dr.Abdul Mirza beamed with smile while they walked towards the main hall to look at notice board to view their allotted postings.
Avani was posted to Medicine while her friends were posted to Surgery, Paediatrics and Gynaecology.
As Avani entered Medicine first unit, she was welcomed by the smiling face of her senior Dr.Romilla Das.She congratulated and welcomed them."Hi !I am Dr.Romilla Das ,your senior. Congratulations, welcome to internship. I hope your smile stays like this even next year as mine seems to be fading very soon".Avani did not understand what her senior said. She knew how hierarchy was always respected in Medicine as she said "Hi Ma'am! I am Avani, new intern posted to first unit."
"Hey, you have passed your final year successfully Dr.Avani. From now on always address yourself as doctor with your full name.A lot of doctors will not like it if you say your name like this .Now, come on tell me what is your name from now on "said Dr.Romilla Das.
Avani gleamed at her and said "OK ma'am.Here I go.I am Dr.Avani Narasimhan posted as Intern to first unit Medicine. "
"That's good .Ok come soon, we have to go meet our head of the department Dr.Shankara Raman K, before he begins his rounds at his office.Otherwise he 'll be angry. "
