"Hi there! Pleased to meet you. I am यमराज. And I will take care of you." Not the kind of words, one would be "dying" to hear! When I was ill last week, these were the words said to me, almost. Here's how it happened.
I had slight cough, cold and fever last Thursday. So I took a day off from work and rested. I felt much better on Friday, and I went to office. In the evening I had dinner at a friend's place. I was feeling just fine when I went to bed that night. But when I woke up next morning, I was in terrible pain. I was having difficulty swallowing, and my throat pained like hell. The first thing I did was to call my doctor's clinic. The receptionist told that my doctor was not in clinic that day, but someone else can look at me, if I were okay with that. The situation I was in, I wouldn't have mind visiting a vet! I instantly agreed to visit the other doctor and took an appointment. (Getting a doctor's appointment on the same day in US - that's a miracle. I was lucky, I thought!)
A couple of hours later, I was in the doctor's clinic. The nurse measured my weight and checked my blood pressure. I waited for the doctor. Then suddenly a young fellow in white suit entered the room, shook my hand, and said, "I am Dr. यम. I will take care of you. How are you feeling?" "I was feeling good. Though I am not so sure of it now", I said to myself!
