Chikitsa

Manush matrei rog hobe, aaar rog holei asudh khaoa abashyak. Saubhagyabashata sardi-kaashi chhara amar serokom kono boro soRho asukh aaj porjonto hoi ni. Bola jete paare amar sasthyo bhaloi. Pancham shreni te poRhar somoy ekbaar nyaba (peetrog/Jaundice) hoyechhilo, sob kichhui holud holud mone hoto, se o 6-maas pyalaram er moto shingi maachh er jhol khabar por sere gyalo. Chhotobelai jwor hoto, ajkaal seta o hoy na! Ekhon amar ekmatro songi holo sardi. Sheeet, grisma, borsha nirbisheshe se amar nasa poth diye falgu dharar moto boite thake. Sardi’r kono protikaar nei bolei shunechhi, tai amio beshi matha ghamai na. Gato koyek maas dhhore sardir songe kashi o shuru hoyechhe. Raat e ghhum bhenge jachchhe kashir thyalai. Bujhte paarlaam ‘amaar o boyos hochche!’ Panchuginni o bollo tirish per hole ekta ‘annual checkup’ kora dorkar. Se ekmaas ager kotha.

Daktarkhana, haspatal esob dekhlei amar kemon bhoy bhoy kore. Amar maayer mama’r baRhi amader baRhi’r khhub kachhei chhilo. Maaye’r boRho mama chhilen namkora daktar. Amra daktar-dadu bole daktaam. Uni soptahe chardin bibhinno jaigai practice korleo, onyo tindin baRhi’r kachhei databya korten. Sekhane besh bhhiRh hoto. Sei somoy onar daktarkhanar paash diye onaar chokh eRhiye jaoa besh duskar byapar chhilo. Dekhte pelei bolten ‘Ei edike ai, jibh dekha..jwor e shwash fel..ityadi’. Sob shesh e bolten ‘Tor maa ke ekbaar dekha korte bolbi’. Amar jNyan haoa theke 20-22 bochhor boyos porjonto daktar-dadu kei dekhiyehhi. Titanus injection o onek baar niyechhi jokhon boroline e kaj na hole. Kintu annual checkup aaj porjonto korai ni.

Panchuginnir ebong ananya bandhubandhab er kotha moto, daktar dekhanor bondobosto korte laaglaam. Ek bochhor age porjonto daktar khana bolte ‘student health center’ i chhilo ek matro bharsa. Ekhon insurance er boi khhule dekhlam prachur daktar er naam. Tarpor baRhir sob cheye kaachh er daktar der eke eke phone korte laaglam, kintu sobai bollo ‘amra natun patient’ nei na. Ami prothome bujhlam na, bhablam amake arektu buRho hote hobe, tahole hoito ora nebe, othoba amar rog taa ke arektu thitu hote dite hobe, tobei chikitsa korte subidha hobe! Pore janlaam, oi daktar er songe age theke jogajog na thakle uni dekhben na! Rajneeti te jantaam, kintu chikitsa’r khetre o erokom swajanposhon dekhe marmahata holaam. Jaihok, amar mone besh anondoi holo je daktaar dekhate hobe na! Kintu Panchuginni bollo ‘omuk daa ke jigges koro, o ager maas ei checkup korechhe.’ Jiggasa korte badhyo holam, ebong ek phone call ei appoinment holo. Mishti golai secretary bollo ‘June er 6 tarikh dupur 2:45 e asun, saradin kichhu khaben na, kalo coffee chharHa’. Bolei thokas kore phone ta rekhe dilo! Aaj sei chho tarikh, saradin na kheye pet e chuncho daakchhe, erpor abar rokto nebe! E ki dhoroner otyachar? Bolir pantha ke o boli’r age besh bhalo kore khaiye hrishtapushta kora hoy, kintu amar to ekebare moRhar upor khaNrar ghaa!

Injection niye amar alpo bhoy thakleo, seta ami sohyo korte paari. Kintu rakta-chosha ta amar kacchhe ekhono bheetiprodo. Kom boyos e raktadaan sheebir e bar duyek rokto diyehhi, tokhon rokto gorom chhilo to. KIntu protibaar i rokto debaar por matha ghurto. Markin desh e asar por er age ekbaar rokto diyei matha ghure gelo. Ami daktar ke jiggyes korlam, erokom keno hoy? Daktar chhilen mohila-daktar, bollen ‘tomra purush to, tai garbhabati hote hoy na. Sahyashakti o swabhabatoi kom.’ Bojho! Eirokom aktya juktir pore aar proshno othe na. Antarjaal e ‘choonch-bheeti’ niye onekkkhon gobeshona kore bhoy aaro beRhe gyalo. Tai ami dhorei niyechhi ebar o amar matha ghurbe, dor dor kore ghaam hobe, chokh e andhakaar dekhbo, er beshi aar ki hobe?
