How Indian Doctors allegedly Loot Patients.

How Indian Doctors allegedly Loot Patients.

Most of these observations are either completely or partially true. Corruption has many names, and one of civil society isn't innocent either. Professionals and businessmen of various sorts indulge in unscrupulous practices. I recently had a chat with some doctors, surgeons and owners of nursing homes about the tricks of their trade. Here is what they said
1)      40-60% kickbacks for lab tests. When a doctor (whether family doctor / general physician, consultant or surgeon) prescribes tests - pathology, radiology, X-rays, MRIs etc. - the laboratory conducting those tests gives commissions. In South and Central Mumbai -- 40%. In the suburbs north of Bandra -- a whopping 60 per cent! He probably earns a lot more in this way than the consulting fees that you pay.
2)      30-40% for referring to consultants, specialists & surgeons. When your friendly GP refers you to a specialist or surgeon, he gets 30-40%.
3)      30-40% of total hospital charges. If the GP or consultant recommends hospitalization, he will receive kickback from the private nursing home as a percentage of all charges including ICU, bed, nursing care, surgery.
4)      Sink tests. Some tests prescribed by doctors are not needed. They are there to inflate bills and commissions. The pathology lab understands what is unnecessary. These are called "sink tests"; blood, urine, stool samples collected will be thrown.
5)      Admitting the patient to "keep him under observation". People go to cardiologists feeling unwell and anxious. Most of them aren't really having a heart attack, and cardiologists and family doctors are well aware of this. They admit such safe patients, put them on a saline drip with mild sedation, and send them home after 3-4 days after charging them a fat amount for ICU, bed charges, visiting doctors fees.
6)      ICU minus intensive care. Nursing homes all over the suburbs are run by doctor couples or as one-man-shows. In such places, nurses and ward boys are 10th class drop-outs in ill-fitting uniforms and bare feet. These "nurses" sit at the reception counter, give injections and saline drips, perform ECGs, apply dressings and change bandages, and assist in the operation theatre. At night, they even sit outside the Intensive Care Units; there is no resident doctor. In case of a crisis, the doctor -- who usually lives in the same building -- will turn up after 20 minutes, after this nurse calls him. Such ICUs admit safe patients to fill up beds. Genuine patients who require emergency care are sent elsewhere to hospitals having a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) round-the-clock.
7)      Unnecessary caesarean surgeries and hysterectomies. Many surgical procedures are done to keep the cash register ringing. Caesarean deliveries and hysterectomy (removal of uterus) are high on the list. While the woman with labour -pains is screaming and panicking, the obstetrician who gently suggests that caesarean is best seems like an angel sent by God! Menopausal women experience bodily changes that make them nervous and gullible. They can be frightened by words like " and "fibroids" that are in almost every normal woman's radiology reports. When a gynaecologist gently suggests womb removal "as a precaution", most women and their husbands agree without a second's thought.
8)      Cosmetic surgery advertized through newspapers. Liposuction and plastic surgery are not minor procedures. Some are life-threateningly major. But advertisements make them appear as easy as facials and waxing. The Indian medical council has strict rules against such misrepresentation. But nobody is interested in taking action.
9)       Indirect kickbacks from doctors to prestigious hospitals. To be on the panel of a prestigious hospital, there is give-and-take involved. The hospital expects the doctor to refer many patients for hospital admission. If he fails to send a certain number of patients, he is quietly dumped. And so he likes to admit patients even when there is no need.
10)  "Emergency surgery" on dead body. If a surgeon hurriedly wheels your patient from the Intensive Care Unit to the operation theatre, refuses to let you go inside and see him, and wants your signature on the consent form for "an emergency operation to save his life", it is likely that your patient is already dead. The "emergency operation" is for inflating the bill; if you agree for it, the surgeon will come out 15 minutes later and report that your patient died on the operation table. And then, when you take  delivery of the dead body, you will not pay OT-charges, anaesthesiologist's charges, blah-blah-
Doctors are humans too. You can't trust them blindly. Please understand the difference.
Young surgeons and old ones. The young ones who are setting up nursing home etc. have heavy loans to settle. To pay back the loan, they have to perform as many operations as possible. Also, to build a reputation, they have to perform a large number of operations and develop their skills. So, at first, every case seems fit for cutting. But with age, experience and prosperity, many surgeons lose their taste for cutting, and stop recommending operations.
Physicians and surgeons. To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Surgeons like to solve medical problems by cutting, just as physicians first seek solutions with drugs. So, if you take your medical problem to a surgeon first, the chances are that you will unnecessarily end up on the operation table. Instead, please go to an ordinary GP first

Wonder how much of the exposed malady is widespread and how many are merely by a few black sheep.
I do have many doctors in my close and extended family and close friends - and would like to believe that they are insulated from the practices described above.

JUDAS ASPARAGUS

Judas Asparagus":

(This amazing account of the Bible that came to me on the email circuit is bound to bring tears of laughter to your eyes. We often take for granted that children do understand what we teach them!?)
A child was asked to write a book report on the entire Bible. Here is what was written:

The Children's Bible in a Nutshell

In the beginning, which occurred near the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says, 'The Lord thy God is one,' but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, 'Give me a light!' and someone did.
Then God made the world.
He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating one bad apple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.

Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated his brother as long as he was Abel.
Pretty soon all of the early people died off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said ! they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top Ten Commandments. These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your neighbor's stuff.
Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David.. He got to be king by killing a giant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale and then barfed up on the shore.
There were also some minor league prophets, but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New Testam! ent. Jesus is the star of The New Testament. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn.(I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me, 'Close the door! Were you born in a barn?' It would be nice to say, 'As a matter of fact, I was.')
During His life, Jesus had many arguments with sinners like the Pharisees and the Republicans.
Jesus also had twelve opossums. The worst one was Judas Asparagus. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible vegetable after him.
Jesus was a great man! . He healed many leopards and even preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Republicans and all those guys put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus. He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminium. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.

------- Nothing bad will happen if you don't, but if you share this delightful story you' are sure to make someone LAUGH today and  perhaps they too will keep spreading the laughter by sharing it with many more!!

Re: Tiger Dance

I am sharing with you an article on Tiger Dance published by me in 1998
--on the Hulivesha (Tiger dance) ......a unique form of folk dance in Dakshina Kannada, that fascinates the young and the old alike. In Hindu mythology, the tiger is considered as the favoured vehicle (carrier) of Goddess Sharada (...the deity in whose honour Dusshera is celebrated). Probably one of the reasons why this dance is performed during the Dusshera celebration. It is also performed during other festivals like Krishna Janmasthami.
This article in a yet to be refined form hopes to be part of my new book on our childhood in Mangalore - so friends, if you guys have an anecdote or interesting tid-bit of two to add here, request kindly do so.
Thanks

Tiger Dance…..By Maxwell Pereira

 

I had occasion to pass through Mangalore the other day, and remember nostalgically some of the interesting aspects of an intriguing childhood spent there. Of the time when a class of people painted themselves or got into costumes to visit from house to house and perform their act like during Madri Gras or as they do in Brazil during the Carnival. Only, here it was in small groups or an individual venture, done more for the purpose of keeping up a folk art tradition, and earn those few extra bucks to supplement their meagre means.

 

Associated with the period just before Dusshera or Gowri puja, these were nothing short of a large scale public indulgence in fancy dress coupled with skilled street art - not necessarily a competition, but enacted for the sheer excitement of the period in time and the commercial prospects of it. Ingenuity and innovation, being the key factor to attract and sustain the interest of the viewer public. We children looked forward to this year after year, and made no bones about breaking rules and family taboos just to watch or get a glimpse of this form of popular entertainment. Whether they were welcome or not, these performers deigned to visit each house, to do their act of song, dance or recital to enthrall especially us kids, took what was given, and passed on to the next house that welcomed them.

 

We called them Vesha - meaning costume theatre in local parlance. And there were a variety of them in the season. When performers took to all forms, from being demon dancers - their ash covered bodies painted in frightening black and red, to impersonating tradesmen like postman, carpenter, pujaris, priests, mandarins and mendicants. There were 'bandar-madaris' with their trained monkeys and the tiny one-handed shrill drum of stretched leather with affixed knot-ended strings that beat with a tremendous din, by the mere twist of the wrist. The 'karadi' dancers with muzzle trapped bhalus (mostly black bears, - at times rare white ones too) with warning boards for kids to keep safe distance, who cruelly made the animal dance to their command. The koraga adivasi dancers were there in their grass skirts and caps made of areca spathes who played their own flute and performed a stationary dance with a peculiar foot movement to revolve at the same spot. Not to forget the kudmis of Koddel, and kunnbis with the traditional kol-ata typical to their tribe. And there were some, probably eunachs, who came and chanted 'siddhi-aur-siddhi' - what it meant to this day I don't know, - but did their inexplicable act and expected baksheesh for it all the same. We children listed the different veshas that dropped in at each of our homes, to boast and compare notes later, with friends and neighbours.

 

The highlight of the Veshas of course, had to be the Tiger Dance. Not everyone's cup of tea - from the performers' angle I mean. But there were traditional families whose members subjected their bodies year after year to be painted as tigers, beautiful Bengal tigers with perfectly real-life stripes and colours, headgear with ears and whiskers, not forgetting the fangs and nails too. I have seen tiger dances elsewhere in later life too, including in Pondicherry and neighbouring Tamil country, and can safely vouchsafe that no one can match the standards we witnessed in our childhood in Mangalore. And the typical drum beat of  "….da dand-dara …tatt-tara, …" that accompanied the 'tiger' troupe announcing its presence in an area, used to send a chill up our spine. I remember my petrified kid brother once taking shelter by climbing into a large rice-storage pot in the kitchen. There was total panic then when a servant who couldn't find him suspected possible kidnapping by someone in the tiger dance crowd. Even so, each time the sound of drum beckoned us, in excitement and anticipation we would wait, watching the 'tigers' inside a circle of crowd take positions of attack and defence, while growling and snarling effectively at bystanders. We were fascinated also by the fanfare that invariably preceded the group, with their banners and trophies carried aloft on cross frames in the style of kings of yore and chieftains stepping out to war.

 

On the penultimate day before the final ritual bath to clean the colours off at the tanks of Mangalore's Mangaladevi temple, the biggest of them all would step out. Nicknamed Pili-Mutthappa, - the doyen among all tiger dancers, he made his appearance on the streets of our town to strike terror in our hearts, when we kids who held him in great awe were told to behave or else…. Far and wide had spread the fame of this one, and people from miles around flocked to see this folk hero who was legend. On this day were special treats like tigers going through fiery rings, acrobatics, and other feats to enthrall. To tickle our fantasies were tiger cubs too, permitted to accompany on this last day alone.

 

Not many of the youngsters I spoke to in Mangalore, had seen a tiger dance. Like everything else, even this folk art I believe had degenerated into over indulgence in alcohol and extortion, warranting the authorities to clamp down in an effort to control and regulate. Sad. Will it ever be possible for us to find ways and means to preserve and cherish what we ourselves once enjoyed when young, and pass them on to our progeny to also enjoy!?

GREAT STATISTICS...... DEFINITELY SOMETHING NOT WITNESSED ANYWHERE.....IN THIS WORLD
THIS IS INDIA
How cosmopolitan and secular is the world's largest democracy?
When Pranab Mukherjee was sworn in as the President of India in July 2012,
the world witnessed
a Parsi Chief Justice Kapadia
swear in a Brahmin President Mukherjee,
with a Muslim Vice President Hamid Ansari,
a Sikh Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
an Italian-born Catholic chairman of the ruling party Sonia Gandhi,
a Dalit Speaker of the Parliament Meira Kumar attending the ceremony.
a Sikh Chief of the Indian Army  General Bikram Singh,
an Anglo Indian from Allahabad - Chief of Air Force Air Chief Marshal N.A.K. Browne - whose son Omar is also an ace fighter pilot of the Indian Air Force.
Wonder which other country on this globe has a similar record? I can't think of any. 
Proud to be Indian!

Never Fool around with an Old Woman

AN OLD WOMAN PROSPECTOR SHUFFLED INTO TOWN LEADING A TIRED OLD MULE.

THE OLD WOMAN HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE ONLY SALOON TO CLEAR HER PARCHED THROAT.

SHE WALKED UP AND TIED HER OLD MULE TO THE HITCH RAIL. 
AS SHE STOOD THERE, BRUSHING SOME OF THE DUST FROM HER FACE AND CLOTHES, A YOUNG GUNSLINGER STEPPED OUT OF THE SALOON WITH A GUN IN ONE HAND AND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY IN THE OTHER.

The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, saying, "Hey Old WOMAN, have you ever danced?"

THE OLD WOMAN LOOKED UP AT THE GUNSLINGER AND SAID, "NO, I NEVER DID DANCE ... NEVER REALLY WANTED TO."

A CROWD HAD GATHERED AS THE GUNSLINGER GRINNED AND SAID, "WELL, YOU OLD BAG, YOU'RE GONNA DANCE NOW," AND STARTED SHOOTING AT THE OLD WOMAN'S FEET...

THE OLD WOMAN PROSPECTOR --NOT WANTING TO GET HER TOE BLOWN OFF -- STARTED HOPPING AROUND LIKE A FLEA ON A HOT SKILLET. 

EVERYBODY WAS LAUGHING, FIT TO BE TIED.

WHEN HIS LAST BULLET HAD BEEN FIRED, THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER, STILL LAUGHING, HOLSTERED HIS GUN AND TURNED AROUND TO GO BACK INTO THE SALOON.

THE OLD WOMAN TURNED TO HER PACK MULE, PULLED OUT A DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN, AND COCKED BOTH HAMMERS...

THE LOUD CLICKS CARRIED CLEARLY THROUGH THE DESERT AIR.

The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

THE YOUNG GUNSLINGER HEARD THE SOUNDS TOO, AND HE TURNED AROUND VERY SLOWLY. THE SILENCE WAS ALMOST DEAFENING.

THE CROWD WATCHED AS THE YOUNG GUNMAN STARED AT THE OLD WOMAN AND THE

LARGE GAPING HOLES OF THOSE TWIN BARRELS.

THE BARRELS OF THE SHOTGUN NEVER WAVERED IN THE OLD WOMAN'S HANDS, AS

SHE QUIETLY SAID, "SON, HAVE YOU EVER LICKED A MULE'S ASS?"

THE GUNSLINGER SWALLOWED HARD AND SAID, "NO MA'AM ... BUT ... I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO."

THERE ARE A FEW LESSONS FOR US ALL HERE:

1 - NEVER BE ARROGANT.

2 - Don't waste ammunition.

3 - Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.

4 - Always, always make sure you know who has the power.

5 - Don't mess with old women; they didn't get old by being stupid...

 

JUST LOVE A STORY WITH A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

Arab & Gujarati

An Arab was admitted in the Lilavati Hospital at Mumbai for heart transplant, but prior to the

surgery the doctors needed to store his blood in case need arises.
As the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally.  
So the call went out to a number of countries.
Finally a Gujarati was located who had a similar type of blood.  
The Gujarati willingly donated his blood for the Arab.  
After the surgery, the Arab sent the Gujarati as appreciation for giving his blood, a new Toyota Prado, diamonds, lapiz lazuri jewellery and a million US dollars.
Once again the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery.  
His doctor telephoned the Gujarati who was more than happy to donate his blood again.
After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Gujarati a thank you card and a jar of Almond halwa sweets.
The Gujarati was shocked to see that the Arab this time did not reciprocate the Gujarati's kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab and asked him that  this time also I thought that you would give me  Toyota Prado, Diamonds and Jewellery... ..  
But you gave only a thank you card and a jar of Almond sweets ....  
On this the Arab replied
"Bapu.....now I have Gujju blood  in my veins!"

Bridge Is A Game

This is for all lovers of Bridge - including Raphael, Harry, Fpoka, Stany, etc etc...
Bridge is a game of cards
A lady applied for the position of a house maid. Asked why she left her last employment, she said: Sir, the wages were good, the living conditions were quite comfortable but it was the most ridiculous place I've ever worked. They played this game they called Bridge. Last night a lot of folks were there.

As I was about to bring the refreshments, I heard a man tell a lady: "Lay down and let's see what you've got."
Another man said: "I have strength, but not much length."
Yet another man told a lady: "Take your hand off my trick!"
I dropped dead when a lady said: "You forced me. You jumped me twice but you didn't have the strength for even one good raise."
Another lady was talking about protecting her honour.
One lady told another: "Now it's my turn to play with your husband; you play with mine."
I packed my bags, took my hat and coat and was leaving, when I heard a young man say: "I guess we can go home now. This is the last rubber."

Lemon Peel - Do Not Waste

Don't Waste That Lemon Peel

 

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.

How can you use the whole lemon without waste?  Simple. place the lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator.  Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.

Sprinkle it to your vegetable salad, ice cream, soup, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, fish dishes.  All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before.  Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C.  Not anymore.  Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles.

What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself.  And yes, that's what you've been wasting.  But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier.

It's also good that lemon peels are health renovators in eradicating toxic elements in the body.

So place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal every day.  It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret!

Better late than NEVER!

The surprising benefits of lemon!

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells.  It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that?  Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.  You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.  Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy.  How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires large corporations? As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes.  You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc.  It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumours.  This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.  Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and an antidepressant combats stress and nervous disorders.

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ...The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.  And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Dear Peter,
Thanks for your valuable updates on the email IDs of our classmates.
And for the updates on your Mangalore trip. It was great that you
could interact fruitfully with many of our friends..
I also recall your earlier mention that the Mangalore trip was
warranted because of your dear mother's indifferent health (?). I take
it she is feeling much much better now - especially after your trip
and company for almost two weeks. My wishes for her speedy recovery
for perfect health.
With warm regards and best wishes,

The Samosa Vendor

 NO MORE A CHARACTER FROM 'MALGUDI DAYS'! - A forward from the email forwards circuit.....

Don't know if this incident is true; the numbers are a little difficult to swallow... but interesting nevertheless.

It was my regular train journey home from work and I boarded the train at 20:50 from Paranur. When the train was about to leave Guduvanchery, a samosa vendor with an empty basket got on and took the seat next to me. As the compartment was sparsely occupied and my destination was still far away, I got into a conversation with him.

Me: "Seems like you've sold all your samosas today."  

Vendor (smiling): "Yes. By God's grace, full sales today."

Me: "I really feel sorry for you people. Don't you get tired doing this tiresome job the whole day?"

Vendor: "What to do, sir? Only by selling samosas like this every day do we get a commission of 75 paise for each samosa that we sell."

Me: "Oh, is that so ? How many samosas do do sell on an average each day?"

Vendor: "On peak days, we sell 3,000 to 3,500 samosas per person. On dull days, we can't even move 1,000 samosas a day. On an average, we sell about 2,000 samosas a day."

I was speechless for a few seconds. The guy says he sells 2,000 samosas a day; at 75 paise each, he makes about 1,500 rupees daily, or 45,000 rupees a month. That's Rs. 45,000 a month. OMG. I intensified my questioning and this time it was not for time pass.

Me: "Do you make the samosas yourself?"

Vendor: "No Sir. Our propreitor gets the samosas through a samosa manufacturer and we just sell them. After selling we give him the money and gives us 75 paise for each samosa that we sell."

I was unable to speak a single word more but the vendor continued...but one thing...most of our earnings are spent on living expenses. Only with the remaining money are we able to take care of other business.

Me: "Other business? What is that?"

Vendor: "It is a land business. In 2007 I bought 1.5 acres in Urupakkam for 3 lakh rupees and I sold it a few months back for 15 lakhs. Now I have bought land in Uthiramerur for 5 lakh rupees."

Me: "What did you do with the remaining amount?"

Vendor: "Of the remaining amount, I have set aside 6 lakhs for my daughter's wedding. I have deposited the other 4 lakhs in the bank."

Me: "How much schooling have you had?"

Vendor: "I studied up to third standard; I stopped my studies when I was in the 4th standard. But I know how to read and write. Sir, there are many people like yourself, who dress well, wear a tie, wear shoes, speak English fluently and work in air-coditioned rooms. But I don't think you guys earn as much as we do wearing dirty clothes and selling samosas."

At this point, what could I reply. After all, I was talking to a millionaire! The train chugged into Chromepet station and the samosa vendor got up from his seat.

Vendor: "Sir, this is my station...have a good day."

Me: "Take care."

What more is there to say...!
