The Next Week Classes

 

Dr. Dev (Fictional Name) had joined as Professor in the Department of Surgery in Khota Medical College (Fictional Name). There were junior residents doing post-graduate specialization in surgery posted in his unit. The junior residents do the work of patient care and also study as they have to clear the MS (Master of Surgery) final exam at the end of their three years training period.

Once on a ward round, Dr. Dev asked an academic question to Dr. Vincent (Fictional Name), the second-year junior resident posted in his unit. Dr. Vincent did not give a proper answer. After some time Dr. Dev asked another academic question to Dr. Vincent. Again he was not able to give a satisfactory answer. 

Sometime later Dr. Dev asked another academic question to Dr. Vincent. With his poor performance in the previous questions, Dr. Dev asked him an easy question this time which could be answered well even by a good MBBS (Medical under-graduate) student. Surprisingly Dr. Vincent did not answer even this question completely.

As Dr. Vincent was in his second year of junior residency it was expected that he would have started studying and achieved at least some level of expertise in his subject by now. A disappointed Dr. Dev remarked, ‘Dr. Vincent, it is high time that you start studying something!’

Dr. Vincent promptly replied back, ‘Yes sir, I had already planned to start studying something. In fact, I am joining classes from next week.’

Dr. Dev was surprised on hearing this answer. With his poor academic standard up till now, he did not expect Dr. Vincent to start studying so expeditiously. Also, he was not aware of any classes teaching surgery outside of their Medical College in the city. A curious Dr. Dev asked, ‘Which classes are you joining from next week?

Dr. Vincent replied, ‘I am starting Guitar classes from next week.’
