Each of us has been to a doctor we didn’t like: either they botched up a case, didn’t have enough time to listen to our complaints, weren’t compassionate enough, or simply didn’t meet the physical criteria we had in our heads for what doctors should look like. Yes, the last one is actually true. A friend once came up to me, telling me how disappointed she was by her doctor’s visit. When I asked her why, she mournfully said, “Em toh he solved my problem perfectly, pan bow batko che,” hoping that for the three thousand rupees she had paid, she would have met George Clooney.
