Coming up...
alore was to search for a doctor to give me an anti-Rabies shot. They say it has to be taken within 24 hours of the dog-bite. Luckily, I got a very sweet, old, doc in Kormangalam, who was mainly a kiddies' specialist. And that the reason why I waited to exclaim "F..." in pain, but the word never got out of my mouth. I was so surprised. But for the next shot, after a gap of 48 hours, I managed to find myself a homeopathy doc, who told me just before injecting, not to scream. I said don't make me.
