My friend Mamta was general physician. She had just finished her internship and was waiting for letter of appointment from govt hospital.
Mamta’s father friend Dr. Rana was surgeon.It so happened he was going for personal assignment abroad.Dr Rana said since I will be away from my clinic for six months therefore Dr Mamta can do practice in my clinic.
Mamta was very happy to get such a good offer from Dr Rana. Mamta started going to clinic, only three to four patients used to come.After that Mamta had to wait in clinic as her timings were from 9am to 12am.Mamta being very fresh,was confused about how to pass her time.When patients were not there in clinic to pass her time Mamta will knit sweater.Clinic staff was unhappy with this arrangement.
One day one senior health staff came to Dr Mamta and told her look madam this clinic is very precious for all of us.Dr Rana taught us not to waste a single minute in this clinic.But madam up to our surprise in free time instead of reading health journals lying in cupboard of Dr Rana you waste your precious time by knitting sweaters. Madam this is not acceptable to staff of this health clinic.Dr Mamta realized her mistake and apologized for same.
Moral of story is every moment at work place should be spent for cause of profession.
