This Christmas, on 25th I had been to a cinema hall to see a film, Ghajini. I had a tuition just at the time while the film ends. So I hurriedly ran to my tuition and on the course I fell on the staircase and sprained my ankle badly. Now I couldn't move. They helped me home, there I lay, just brooding. Lying on the bed is even more painful than this sprain. To kill time I'm just playing sudoku, playing or browsing on my mobile. But you know what. I hd been treated by a quack for this sprain.. Ha ha ha. In fact for small diseases (which I don't consider as diseases) like head ache, light fever, joint pain etc. I never take pain killers or even go to a doctor. I let my body heal itself and I think this also makes my body immune system improve. So when I got this sprain I was reluctant to go to a doctor. Blah..... these doctors... they will tell you to get your leg X-rayed even in case of a ligament sprain. So I just kept on spraying my pain-reliever spray and slept. Since my pain and swelling didn't subside my uncle told me "Since you don't wanna go to a doctor I'll take you to a quack. I've seen many people cured by him." I didn't refuse and I repented later. This quack, first gave me some 'seka', that is he applied some high density oil (castor perhaps) and put a thick cloth over my sprain and moved a red hot iron rod over it. Owwwww.... Then his associate held my leg and he applied some foul smelling slimy substance there and dressed it with supports. Now I couldn't even move my leg easily. He had said come after 4 days. I went and he opened the dressing and said I'll have to dress it again. Hah... and see how business-minded the guy is. For the first time he charged us 225 Rs. and this time he charges 50 Rs. So that you can't just think of going elsewhere. But then there were a lot more customers out there. My body will heal the wound and he'll get the credit. Gawd...... But I clicked some pics of his clinic secretly. I'll post them when I get well... Mwa ha ha Have you ever had any experiences with any quack?
