me……….but later it slowed down……….and again after an hour or so……I began to feel the
same……
Doctor: Oh…..I see……….
Patient: I am really worried…….doctor…
Doctor: Don’t be……….there is nothing to be worried about……….
Patient: When this pain will go away… doctor………. Will it or not……….?
Doctor: Well, this pain will certainly go away. You, please, don’t be worried. The operation
was successful. It may happen in a few of the cases. The patient may feel pain………..but
there is surely nothing to be worried about…………
Patient: Doctor, there is another thing……….that I have to tell you………
Doctor: Please, tell me…………
Patient: I feel difficulty in swallowing as well………It is really difficult for me to swallow down
anything. Even I feel pain when I speak. Will these problems be there in future too….? I am
really worried…….my life is really going to get changed a lot if these problems continue to be
there in future too.
Doctor: Well, It is not like that. Only two days have now been passed since we have

swallowing are very common. Many of the patients complain of the same. But you do not be
worried……..These problems will soon go away. You may have to wait for a week or two to get
well again or go back to the normal routine.
Patient: Doctor, I feel difficulty in breathing too. Will this problem be with me or will it go
away?
Doctor: Certainly, this problem will go away. You do not have to be worried. You will be
perfectly alright after two or three weeks.
Patient: I hope for the same, doctor.
Doctor: Now, it is time that you shall take some rest. You really need it and I suggest that
you do not speak much or do not take any solid food for a few days more. Taking solid food
may hurt you. You will have to be very careful.
Patient: Well, thanks, doctor. I will take care of that.
Doctor: And again, I say the same thing. Do not get worried. You are certainly going to lead a
normal life.

Patient: But, doctor, I really want to get well sooner………….
Doctor: You will………….you will get well sooner but… you will have to spend some more
time…..

babies………….
Patient: Will solid food be good for the baby, doctor?
Doctor: Well, it will be good for the baby…………..but still, you need to avoid it………. If your
baby is three months’ old then it is necessary that you shall start giving her some semi-solid
food…….pureed food like sweet potatoes, apples, squash etc can be the best…………… you can
give semi-liquid iron-fortified cereals……………
Patient: Shall I continue breastfeeding too, doctor?
Doctor: Well, you shall, it is very much necessary……… you shall not stop breastfeeding your
baby………….breastfeeding is really good……………….your baby will continue to get all essential

baby………and you know, most of the mothers stop breastfeeding and start giving solid food to
their babies………. In such cases, the babies do not fully get everything that which is
necessary for good health…………
Patient: Well, I understood doctor……………..and I have another question to ask………….
Doctor: Oh, please……..
Patient: Doctor, my baby is losing weight………..since the time of her birth, I have been
noticing she has not been the same………..there is a great change in her weight………… I have
been noticing she is getting thinner and thinner ………..

Doctor: Not be worried… just a bit…………..but it is necessary that you shall not take any
chances………..
Patient: Oh…………..how this has happened……… I had been managing perfectly well………….. I
go for exercise in the morning……… I do a lot of physical work……….then how come my sugar
level is higher………..

much about it….. Here, insulin injection is being prescribed just as a precautionary
measure…………. Just to bring the sugar level to the normal position……...
Patient: Oh, I understand, doctor……………but………….
Doctor: Please, do not be sad…… you are perfectly alright………..and this insulin will help you
do much better as well…………..
Patient: OK, doctor, I understand………….
Doctor: See, you will have to just inject it…………but remember you will have to take
precautions as well…………
Patient: Oh………..
Doctor: See, roll the bottle of insulin well between your hands 2-3 times. You shall mix
well………….you shall not shake the bottle as this will form air bubbles and this will affect the
amount of insulin withdrawn………. Draw exactly the same amount of insulin as required into
the syringe. Always, measure from the top of the plunger…... Check the syringe for the air
bubbles. Well, air bubbles in the syringe will not harm you but still this may reduce the
amount of insulin drawn into the syringe………
Patient: Where can I inject myself, doctor?
Doctor: Well, you can inject into the fat layer just beneath the skin. There are certain areas of
the body which include the stomach area (not around belly button), thighs, (top part and
outer parts), upper arms etc. You shall use the same areas but you shall not inject yourself
into the same spot again and again…….. As this can lead to lumps or scars…….
Patient: Ok, doctor…………. I understand……….
Doctor: And do not worry……… you will have to take this injection just for a few days…………
Patient: Well, I understand………… doctor………….
Doctor: OK, so, let me first give you this injection………….you can see for yourself and then
you can do the same on your own…………..
Patient: That would be good, doctor…………
