Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) once had to go to some small town in the interior region of Rajasthan. His friend was working as a medical officer at the Government Community Health Centre Hospital at that town. Dr. Dev went to meet his friend at the hospital.
While talking to his friend in the Out-Patient’s Department (OPD), he noticed another doctor sitting at the next table. The doctor was examining and treating the patient and in-between he was taking sips from a large bottle of fizzy cola drink.
In India, fizzy cold drinks such as Coke and Pepsi are available in large plastic bottles of 1.5 to 2 litres capacity. They are very cheap as compared to cans and the bottle cap can be screwed tight after pouring some drink from it.
Dr. Dev asked his friend, why the doctor was drinking intermittently from the bottle, instead of drinking a glass or some in the next room. Lowering his voice, the colleague explained, that is just not any plain bottle of fizzy cold drink.
Every day before sitting in the OPD in the morning, the doctor used to get a new bottle of the fizzy cold drink, empty it partially and mix some whiskey in the bottle. Taking sips in between seeing patients, he used to finish the bottle by the end of the OPD.
Highly not recommended for any public dealing person, doctor or otherwise. This has been written only to forbid anyone from following this example.
