The doctor-accoucheur
I
That day was accurate as the same as the other. I had to meet with my old friend. It was a good idea, 'cause the last meeting was... Well, when was it?.. maybe two... Two and half years ago... Following that fact it was logical that I was waiting for two days inpatiently... Two days, one day... Five hours...
I dressed up, did perfume, took my best shoes (from the last month conference) and driving to the caf;.
- 12:30 PM, - I said to myself, - where is he?
It was summer, July the 7th, Friday. The weather was pretty and the sun shined. The street wasn't loud, the students were at the university and took the test marks. I looked around, but there wasn't my friend. I waited 15 minutes and already wanted to leave the place, but suddenly I heard his voice.
- Oh, my dear friend! - he said, - how are you? I'm so sorry for my late, but I traveled by a new train, and suddenly... PUFF!.. It broke.
- Oh, that is... an interesting story... Well, I'm good and how about you?
Huh! You call it ... an interesting story? Take your dessert and coffee, I will tell you the long history about one doctor.
- Ah, my friend, I thought, you're not a doctor, but a scientist.
- I finished the biological university, it is true, but, hey, there is a medicine course at the last year.
- Really?
- Take the argue!
- And what did you learn?
- The basic method of treatment.
- Well, now you'll take the boiled water with lemon to your patients.
- Ha, ha, ha! Your humour is at the first step of easy flu. Ha, ha, ha!
- Well, what else?
- What else?
- Yes.
- Wod do you think, my dear friend, who is the best doctor in the history?
- Doctor?
- Yes.
- In the history?
- Exactly.
- Hippocrates.
- Brilliant.
- My friend, your secret is at the first step of school.
- Okey, another question. Who is the famous doctor in the history?
- Hippocrates.
- And...
- And... What?..
He helped me with the gesticulating.
- Who? Avicenna?
- Good work! Now, prepare... Who is the first doctor in the history?
I stay thinking.
Then looked at my friend.
He opened his eyes and smiled.
- Hippocrates?
- Huh! Again your "Hippocrates"!
- Then who?
- How do you think?
- I don't know. I know only about Hippocrates, Avicenna and Vesaly.
- Again your Hippocrates! "Hippocrates"! "Hippocrates"!
- I, - standing from the table I said, - don't want to make argue with you, my dear friend. I didn't see you for a long time and here you start this...
- Well-well-well, - my friend told so fast and took me into my chair, - I want tell you... Well, and I'll tell you about one person, names Merith-Ptach. I promise you'll involve by it and her story.
- "Her"? - I surprised.
Yes, it is "she". And her story was so interesting and cautionary...
I thought for a long time about her. Even when I said goodbye to my friend and there was an evening. I had dream about her.
The facts mixed with fantastic...
