Today I was sitting in my office checking my email, that nurse entered my room and said: "Sir! one of advisors to president Karzai is sick. Are you willing to see him?"
I said: "yes send him with a file". So a chubby advisor entered my room, very proud like walking in the sky. The way he entered my office made me a little bet uncomfortable. After introduction by the nurse and saying hello i said "Ok Sir! what is the problem". He proudly said "which of the problems. Which one should i say?" and than he started interviewing me "When did you finish your medical school? Where did you go to medical school?" and then changed from the national language to English and continued asking. It made me more frustrated and said "Lets talk in our own national language" and he said: "But you should know english, you need to use in your proffession" I said: "I know English and I use it in my profession. I talk in English when i am talking to a colleague. But with my patients i prefer to talk in my national language." He started to talk in hard Pashtu and said "here i am talking in national language. Where are you from?" I stopped him and said " Sir! lets talk about your own problem. I am sorry to say, but when some of high officials from government come here they are dealing a bet diffirent with doctors, and want to put a bet pressure on them." He suddenly came down from the sky, change and said "no, no, no i was just asking question, i didn't mean anything else"
