These are the excerpts from a well-written series by Dr. Milind Kulkarni titled "Kokanacho Doctor" and appeared in Lokprabha in the year 2012. Dr. Kulkarni practices in one of the village in Sindhudurga district of Maharashtra. He shares his experiences about his patients, partly written in local Malvani language.
Although the theme of the incidences is medical service however doctor smoothly relates it with psychology of Konkani people, their attitude towards life, impacts of economic condition. He unveils the untouched corner of poor people coming at his dispensary for the medical help. Moreover he explains his relations with the patient which is basic reason why patient feels relaxed and believes his life-saver and shares many personal things with him. Outcome not only help him to understand the human nature but also to help the people in every sense.
The stories coming up are starts on comic note but soon turns so tragic and inspirational. Some bound to make eye-leads wet. I suggest one to read the whole series available online. I am sharing some of them here.
"आमच्याकडे सीरिअस पेशंट वाचणार की नाही हे ओळखण्याकरता एक साधी टेस्ट घेतात. माशाचे कालवण जर पेशंटने बाजूला सारले तर लोक पुढच्या तयारीला लागतात आणि दोन घास खाल्ले तर डॉक्टरकडे नेतात........
