The benefits of having a medico as your boyfriend/ girlfriend.

1. Every time you hold each others
hands you can be sure that your
pulse, temperature, pallor have
been deftly checked by your
partner, and your veins have been
noticed to mentally calculate the
ease with which an i.v. Line will
pass through them, without you
noticing even a bit of this
procedure.

2. He/ she is never late for a date.
They are immune to traffic as they
just need to plaster the doctor's
sign to their car and act like they
have been called immediately to
handle an emergency case. People
automatically make way for them.

3. All calls and messages are
answered immediately, even if they
are in the middle of the night. After
all they have had years of practice
being woken out of deep slumber by
one call from the registrar.

4. They have passed the mid-MBBS '
I- made- all - the - wrong-
decisions- in- life- and- ended- up-
here' phase. Thus, they now give
you full liberty of making all the
choices in your relationship From
which movie to watch to which
restaurant to eat in, because they
are programmed to believe that they
make all the wrong choices
.
5. They are so swamped by work all
the time that you can be assured
there is hell no way that they are
cheating on you. Residency pays
them enough only to afford three
meals a day , forget maintaining
multiple girlfriends / boyfriends
.
6. They shower you with gifts every
OPD ( out- patient department )
day , thank god for Medical
Representatives of pharmaceutical
companies.

7. They are so good at picking up
any deviation from the normal self
of a person , that you shouldn't be
surprised if they notice a change
even in the smallest of things - Like
a change in the color of your nail
polish. Weight loss never goes
unnoticed, though they might
automatically arrive at a differential
diagnosis for it, until you tell them
that it's just because of the efforts
that you've been making to impress
them.
