Short story 114 :: April-June 2010 RUTHLESS Avadhesh Preet Translated by Minu Manjari After the uproar about the death of Comrade Vijay Mitra, the Government had suspended Dr. C.K. Bhagat and formed an inquiry commission of three members. The commission was to submit its report within fifteen days and keeping the sensitivity of the issue in view, was instructed to focus its inquiry on following points: a) The real cause of the death of the patient Vijay Mitra under treatment of Dr. C.K. Bhagat. b) Dr. C.K. Bhagat doing duty in I.C.C.U. on the night of 1 st January despite his being off-duty. c) Personal conduct of Dr. C.K. Bhagat. d) And the legal validity of the death certificate issued by Dr. C.K. Bhagat. Dr. Rajnish Acharya, Cardiologist, Dr. Jeevkant Yadav, Neurologist and Dr. Ramashish Dev, Psychiatrist were members of the inquiry commission. Specialists of their respective fields, they began their work by taking into view the witnesses, their statements and the circumstances. They summoned each and every party related to this enquiry and asked them to give their statement. All concerned parties cooperated and gave their statements as follows: The statement of Dr. C.K. Bhagat This is true that on the night of first January, I didn’t have the duty at Cardiology, so I was in my quarters. I was just conducting
my paralysed wife from bathroom to bed when the call bell rang. I thought at first to help my wife recline on the bed and give her support of the pillow and a blanket on her feet, but the call bell kept ringing and a knocking also began. It seemed someone was in great hurry and trouble. So I left my wife as she was and opened the door almost running. The P.G. Student Dr. Sujata Roy was there. She was looking troubled. She was panting as if she had come running. As it is the custom, P.G. students always greet their Senior, but Dr. Sujata Roy forgot doing so and before I could ask anything, she herself started — “Sir, just… just now a serious patient has come…. I have admitted him to the I.C.C.U…. but there isn’t any senior doctor, sir…sir, I couldn’t find anyone… so I had to trouble you… Sir, please… come and see him.” Even after the request of Dr. Sujata Roy, I asked her indifferently, “Dr. Roy, is the patient your relative?” “No, Sir!” Sujata Roy faltered. I frowned, “Then why are you being so emotional?” Dr. Sujata Roy couldn’t answer. She just said, “Sorry Sir.” “Whose duty it is?” I asked in a dry voice. She said, “Dr. Choudhary’s!” “Then! Where is Dr. Choudhary?” “Sir, Dr. Choudhary hasn’t come yet. I tried to ring him but nobody responded… perhaps false ring.” I cut her sentence, “Isn’t there any othe senior in the campus?” “No Sir, the director has gone with the team of senior doctors to the C.M. House, … for routine check-up.” Dr. Sujata Roy tried to give reason for coming to me. My first thought was to escape with the excuse of it not being my duty or because of my wife’s situation, but in view of the helplessness and trepidation of Sujata Roy it seemed immoral to me. So I assured Dr. Roy, “Just a minute Dr. Roy! I am coming after arranging for my wife. She has just come from bathroom… You know, she is unable to do anything… and our maidservant is on leave.” I left Dr. Sujata Roy there and came to the bedroom where my wife lay on bed. Topsy-turvey. I helped her sit comfortably, put blanket on her and switching on the T.V., told her —”One serious patient is there… I am going to see him.” My wife wanted to say something but I quickly came out. Dr. Sujata Roy was waiting for me with a curious mixture of guilt, apprehension and terror. Looking at her, I said, “Dr. Roy, do you know what’s the first condition to be a doctor?” She looked at me, I said, “no sentiments, no involvement… no emotions.” Don’t know whether she became normal or not, but while going to the April-June 2010 :: 115
