An Accident in which You Were Involved

It was summer and I was attending a function at the International Youth Hostel in Diplomatic Enclave in New Delhi. The function ended at 9 P.M. and I was in haste to reach my house in Rajouri Garden. As I was crossing a lawn to reach the bus stand, in the dark I stumbled over something and fell off. I lost consciousness. Thereafter, I don’t know what happened to me.

I came to consciousness at midnight in the Medical Institute of India and wondered where I was. My arm was broken, wrist fractured and armpit dislocated. I had fallen in a deep pit and had become unconscious. Some foreigner heard the thud of my fall and he investigated the matter with a match stick. Then he informed the President of the function, Mr. Prasad, who was still there on the premises and luckily he knew me too.

He took me out of the pit and took me to the Medical Institute of India. He telephoned my parents and just informed them that I would not come home that night. An operation was performed that night and my arm was put in. plaster. Early next morning Mr. Prasad drove me home in his car He was in hospital with me throughout the night. He was the Collector of Customs and had come straight from Mumbai by air. He had not gone home even.

My people came to know of the accident only when I reached home. It was summer and I felt terrible in that well-cemented plaster from finger tips to the armpit. I felt that the piaster was not necessary, especially in the hot weather of June and it could do me more harm than good. Besides, I felt that the plaster was not used thirty years back at Mumbai when I had another similar accident, having been run over by car and my arm was straightened with splinter and cotton wool, which was equally effective.

I asked some private practitioners to remove the plaster but they would not agree, they considered it illegal, and even advised me not to do so myself. But I thought over it and decided to do without it. So I bought a bottle of turpentine oil to soften plaster and chipped it bit by bit with. the kitchen knife. If took me entire day to get rid of that heavy stuff. But I felt greatly relieved.

I covered my arm with cotton and cloths and it worked wonders. The fracture healed much quicker than the plaster could have done. In fact, the plaster could have harmed my arm and even left my elbow completely dislocated.
