- No problem, Bhaskar, come in.

I forgot to mention one thing.

Something's wrong with me

these days...

I feel frightened.

- Why?

I had my blouses stitched

last month and they're tight now.

It's a sanfrize material.

No, Mrs Sanyal don't

neglect it.

I want to check your blood

cholesterol. Come next Saturday.

Oh no, not Saturday,

I've a kitty party.

Can't I come on Friday?

Friday,... let me check.

Fine. Friday morning 9.00 a.m.

- Okay.

Here's the check for last

month of 500/- rupees.

Thank you.

- Eh!

I mean for this check.

It's alright, doctor. Bye Bye.

Come, Bhaskar...

please be seated.

You're telling her about blood

cholesterol, what does she know?

You will always remain a doctor.

If I don't create an impression,

how will she gain confidence?

I know what you'd have told

her had she come to you.

The same thing that you told

Chandranath and made him angry.

Walk 2 hours in the morning

and play 2 hours in the evening...

After 15 days she'd neither

need you nor me.

She'd be playing badminton

leisurely...

and we'd be begging on

the streets.

If you wanted to do this,

why did you pass your medical's?

You could open a shop.

If I'd sell milk

I'd mix water into it...

and if I was a lawyer...

I'd take money from the

conflict and try to save him,

I can reduce their stomach

or toothache in this profession.

Do you think this is right?

There's nothing wrong

with it, Bhaskar.

The boy you sent for an

X-Ray this morning.

Yes, what happened?

There's a T.B. patch

on his left lung.

I told him to come and

get injected everyday.

Do you think he can

afford it...

For such treatments I've

to take money from Mrs Sanyal.

She's not paying free

of charge.

I know she's not sick.

But she's has doubts

about her health...

I cure these doubts.

What's wrong with that.

I understand, Prakash.

But don't you think something

is wrong somewhere.

Forget it. You won't understand

and neither can I make you.

This is Trivedi's letter

and he's sent a case history.

Case history, but whose?

Read it. He's got a friend,

Anand Sehgal.

I met him five years ago

in Delhi.

We became good friends

and he's very jovial.

What's wrong with him?

- Lymphocercoma of the lntestine.

Lymphocercoma. Have they

done a biopsy?

What's the use of

sending him here?

Doesn't Trivedi know

there's no cure?

He knows. But Anand has

no one.

And he's still in the

ambulatory stage.

He can move around

and wants to see Bombay.

And he wants to meet us.

The treatment given there

can be given here too.

This is his X-Ray plate...

have a look.

What's there to see?

ln a few months, there'll

be distention of stomach...

and the tumor will burst.
