Medical camp


Affan: Hello: How come I didn't see you yesterday?

Azar: I had been out of station. By the way, how did the Medical Camp go on

Affan: It was a mega camp with a team of many doctors seated in groups. Every student was checked for his height, weight and general health.

Azar: How about the eye check-up?

Affan: We were made to read letters of different sizes from a distance. You know Rizwan was not able to read beyond the third line.

Azar: What did the doctor say?

Affan: He referred him to an eye specialist for a thorough check up. He advised us not to sit too close to the television screen and not to watch for a long time. The doctor generally advised us to have breakfast like a King, lunch like prince and dinner like a beggar.

Azar: What does it mean?

Affan: It means that we should have a sumptuous breakfast that gives us the energy we need throughout the day.

Azar: Did you take the first dose of Hepatitis B injection?

Affan: yes, we all did. Can you believe it? Our teacher was in tears.

Azar: Our teacher! For what?

Affan: Because the syringe. Just imagine our teacher.

Azar: My goodness! She looks so bold, courageous and determined.

Affan: She started crying when other teachers compelled her.

Azar: Infact I have heart that some people react in that manner irrespective of age. I really missed the fun.

Affan, IX
Chennai: M.E.S. Razeena Matric H.S. School
