A child was consulted with many doctors many times at Saharsa for some or other reasons but no relief . His parents thought of consulting doctors at Patna the parents lived at near by village named Chainpur . When they reached Saharsa platform the boy started crying for abdominal pain. As my clinic was near the platform so they brought the boy to my clinic .
I examined the boy thoroughly but could find no disease . Then again I pulpated his abdomen three times after some interval engaging him in different talks and told him to point out the area of maximum tenderness . He marked three different points of tenderness at different palpation . My junior doctor insisted me on doing emergency laparotomy . I told him to wait and watch.
I asked his father who was a school teacher, “How many child you have ?".
The teacher replied , “ Sir, I have only one son. kindly do something ,I can spend anything".
I asked him,“ Did you visit any shop in the way to the station ".
The gentleman replied “yes sir ,I visited one shop in the way to the station ". I asked him “Did this child insist on purchasing something for him . Yes sir, he was bent upon purchasing one toy -car which I could not give him . I thought it was completely a wastage of money ."
I ordered the gentleman to bring the toy-car immediately . The gentleman ran to the shop and brought the toy car and gave that to me . I just rolled the car on the floor toward the ailing child . The ailing child jumped out of his bed and caught the car and became very happy. His abdominal pain was gone to the winds .
