That day one well dressed man in his early 50's approached me... He came for the 2nd dose of Rabies vaccination for his 17 year old daughter... She was bitten by a stray dog and accordingly the treating doctor advised her the post exposure vaccination.
"Sir, are all the doses necessary?"
"Yeah for sure... You will have to bring her on all the scheduled dates here..."
He got somewhat annoyed...
"Actually sir, it's far from here.. It's really difficult..."
"Where are you from?"
"Chandmari..."
I smiled and said, "It's hardly 4 kms from here.. The vaccine is given so that she doesn't get the disease... Do you know, how many people survive after rabies is diagnosed?"
"Yes Sir... Nobody survives.."
"You already know it... In case of rabies, the mortality rate is 100%... Then where is your problem?"
He became irritated...
"Actually it becomes too troublesome for me to manage time... Today is day 2... I'll have to bring her here for another 3 days.. After all it's me who is facing the trouble... "
Something clicked my mind...
"Is she your own daughter?"
"No.. She is our helper... She stays with us.."
You know... Take me wrong if you want, but frankly speaking, I just hated that guy at that moment and thus I said,
"I already knew it... That's why you are least concerned about her well being... Provided she was your own daughter, you wouldn't have felt all these problems... Rather you would have enquired me if she would need something else even after getting all these injections... Mind you, she is a young girl and someone else's daughter who is serving your family leaving behind her near and dear ones and yet you are this much reluctant to protect her even when the government is providing the vaccines for free... Grow up man... Try to act human !!!"
No further explanations required... I already told him what I was supposed to !!!
