Recently I had a sprain in my hand due to unknown reason. Since the pain was severe I went to hospital. The greatest mistake I did was going to the  hospital. The more time I was there the more complicated the issue became.

Initially I met my doctor. She wanted me to take a Xray. At Xray center they tried to twist my hand in all possible positions for a clearer view. So I have to cooperate with intense pain in my wrist. After the Xray was taken I met my doctor again after two hours. Meanwhile the pain was at its maximum peak. Finally our doctor called us and she said your xray looks fine. I was happy that there were no fracture. But then started the major problem. She told us ” Your xray looks fine..we did not suspect any fracture.. but on looking your xray there is some extra particle near your thumb bone.. it may be an extra bone or your bone might have chipped off or it may be a solid or semisolid…”.. Myself and my husband were looking at each other in bewilderment. 

Then she asked us meet a hand specialist. We could not stop laughing at the incidents happening. We went to hospital around 12.00 Pm and it was already 4.00Pm and  we were wandering around the hospital, with the solution not yet derived. On the way we were discussing it could be an Astrologist who will be looking at my hand and predicting my future. I could not stop laughing imagining that.

Finally we met the hand specialist , she was an European. She asked the usual questions like ” What happened? how did this happen? When did this happen? ” and so many other questions. She told us you may have Gout , which will usually come to women in fifties. If you have gout then you will be famous , as you will be the first women having gout in early stage. I was all the more shocked hearing all these. Finally she put splint on my right hand and we rushed back home. If we spent even an hour extra the sprain would have turned into cancer. After coming home we were laughing for about an hour thinking of the things happened at the hospital.
