Book excerpt: SYNOPSIS This tale traces a part of the life of Yash and his doctor friends, namely Tania, Maahi, Krishna, Siddhanta and Balminder. This story and theme are one of those which has been attempted for the first time. There have been stories on general doctors but never especially on DENTISTS or their life. A dentist ever shown in movies is generally depicted as a funny or a stupid or a desperate person. This story takes the reader inside a ‘Dental College’ and ‘A hospital’ to bring out the incidents that go on. These include a viva, argument with teachers, a doctor slapping his mate in front of the patients and getting two notices from the principal. A strike against the hike in fees and its ‘political’ end by the college management, the chaos when a HOD enters the department, the atmosphere before a Dental council inspection in the college. From viewing surgeries performed by their favourite teachers to finally the feeling of going and registering as one... The Toothful Tale covers it all. It all starts on a train in which a young dentist (Yash) is going for his Internship. In the train, he finds company with a girl (Anvesha) who is a first-year student in his college. The girl forgets to ask what Yash does and a hilarious incident tells Anvesha that Yash is a senior in her own college! A tale in which, young doctors learn to examine and deal with a variety of patients ranging from a man who has Trigeminal Neuralgia (The worlds worst skull-cracking headache) to a woman who cannot close her mouth due to Mandibular Dislocation. They see a patient who has broken a safety pin in his tooth, keep cool when one comes and fights with them, meet a crying 55-year man who holds their feet and then a 70-year-old man who desires to die instead of living in pain. From a 16 year old boy who has a life threatening allergic reaction called as Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis to a dead body that has the brain and eye hanging out. From a 15 yr boy who has Psoriatic Arthritis, to a 35-year-old woman who has Pemphigus Vulgaris - The most deadly skin disease in the world. They take part in the surgery on a case of Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis and enjoy the comments made by the operating dentist. It also traces the thoughts of the new doctors as they encounter these cases. They on their part, try to deal with the inhuman attitude of the nurses and the ward boys toward the ailing patients and do their part in making life easy and comfortable for the ailing... They find around them many serious things that include infanticide in the sewer and studying for a good life. They play with small kids, cry over the thought of being bad to parents, feel happy when good incidents come in others life, listen to a real-life story told by a Railway Engine Driver From discussing dowry to bringing out a small truth in today’s most marriages; and doing their part to help and punish some dastardly acts such as eve-teasing, child abuse and trying to stop a group of rioters of a political party. They enjoy hilarious incidents over a year such as puncturing a teacher’s car tyre to impersonating one at a conference. They go for tours, live for two days without electricity and sometimes race cars at night on the Marine Drive. From using their sophisticated dental instruments to handling weird and irresistible gadgets, from discussing funny errors taking place in the clinics with patients to saving innocent juniors from ragging, they do it all... A friendship story that starts in a train and unknowingly blooms into a heart tickling love tale. A tale that brings out the feelings of a boy and a girl when they go out together for the first time on an outing, a tale that tells about the pleasures of sneaking out of the hostel for the thrill of getting wet in the rain with someone you like. Some different ideas of romance wherein, they go for a round through the wards of a hospital, get their teeth cleaned on a dental chair and recreate the appearance of a 13 year old young boy with a broken tooth. A story in which, a proposal on the Yamuna Bridge gets its suitable reply in the world’s finest building - The Taj Mahal. There is love, fun and then there is the girl slapping the boy for his mistake that nearly costs him his life. A romantic kiss that starts in 2008 and ends in 2009, getting engaged for real in a heartwarming situation at the end, The Dentists live a year of life that everyone wants to live at least once...
