@just1doctorwala This lady will be the first to run for a saline drip when hit with Dengue, but will tell everyone else to go sit under a Papaya tree. Classical case of spinal level thinking.

@maroonidly It is difficult when our seniors insist on doing such things. Until we ourselves reach consultant level we can't over ride them.
