Isn't the gap between the baby's head and the mom's lap too much?
No. It's just about right.
Nurse Violet. Our new board. How do you like it?
It looks like a huge expense.
It's not an expense, Nurse. It's an investment.
Trust my gut. This is what our clinic needs.
'Choice and Care' is spelt wrong.
'Chaice and Care'!
It sounds as if we will offer Chai (tea) and provide care.
How do I make decisions?
I go by my gut feeling.
I don't take a decision. I feel a decision.
Decisions? I have outsourced them. I have appointed Karan, you see.
Hello? Yes, Karan.
Yes, sir. Yes, I'm standing right outside your office.
What kind of question is that? Decisions are made by the brain.
That is if you have one.
Did Dr. Samarth call? The HOD of the previous hospital?
Yes.
Does he need any help from us?
He's looking for a head nurse for the hospital.
Why? What happened to his head nurse?
People quit.
Yes, they do quit.
His handwriting was so bad.
The nurses couldn't even read it.
Thank God I have good handwriting.
The best doctors have the worst handwriting.
- It's a fact. - New patient.
- Name? -Dr. Vidushi Kothari? Is the clinic open?
- It is open. - Obviously, it must be open.
The timings are boldly printed outside.
- Is it new? - Yes.
Where's the washroom?
Hey.
It seems the patient's bladder is full.
Hello. How can we help you?
Well, at least the board is visible.
Do we make an entry for this?
Hi, my baby. Hi.
How are you? What did Seher do today?
High five. Yes?
Okay, come.
Swara?
Come on. Okay. Come, come, come.
What is it? What happened then? Come here. Come on. Come.
Look who is here. See who is here.
Do you want to go to mom? Okay. Go on then.
Go to her. Careful.
- It's Vidushi. - No, no, no! Just send her back.
Rahul, just send her. I don't want to meet her.
Send her back. Send her back now. Just ask her to...
- Just send her back. - Relax.
I have told the guard so many times
not to allow the salesperson in and yet...
Whenever something goes wrong with Swara,
I can feel it in my gut.
Literally.
- Hi. - Hi.
Come. I got you coffee.
How are the patient's vitals?
The baby's birth weight is very low.
But he's doing better.
That's a miracle, Arth.
Your patient's a survivor.
Sometimes, I don't understand what we should do.
The mother has been irresponsible enough to drink at such a time.
The baby's future is not so bright, Vidushi.
We can't predict the future.
We can only do our duty and make them understand.
In such cases, I feel the baby should be kept away from the mother.
Sometimes, I think that
the mother should also get a break from the baby.
Swara?
Yes.
She's not doing okay.
Maybe she needs some time for herself.
I know Swara very well.
If she takes time out for herself,
she will give everyone a hard time while doing it.
Doctor. Sign.
Well, Swara and Rahul are coming tomorrow for Seher's check-up anyway.
You can meet them. You won't feel stressed anymore.
- Is that your handwriting? - Yes.
It's even better than mine.
Nurse Violet said the best doctors have the worst handwriting.
Does Nurse Violet think that?
Laila Gandhi? You didn't mention the problem here.
- She said she will tell you herself. - Okay, okay.
- Hi. - Laila.
Sam. I asked you to wait at the hotel
and that I'll be back in five minutes.
We've met after months, and you want me to stay away from you for five minutes?
Why do you follow me everywhere I go?
- Go back now. I'll be back. - Why did you come to the gynac?
Sam, go back.
- Oh my God. Are you pregnant? - Excuse me.
- Who are you? Oh. - My boyfriend.
- Okay. - Laila, don't even think of abortion.
- Sam, just stop it. - You stop it, Laila.
I always wanted to be the father of your babies.
- Are you stupid? - Stupidly in love with you, baby.
Ms. Laila Gandhi.
- Will you marry me... - No, no! It's not allowed here. Please.
- No, no. It's totally fine. - Sam, please, just...
Okay, you want a better proposal, right?
- You should have said so. Excuse me, doctor. Do you have candles? -Yes?
Don't we have those Diwali candles, V?
- Out! - It's okay, Laila.
Mr. Lover Boy, let's go. Let's give the patient some privacy. This way.
Come along.
- I'll be waiting outside, Laila. - Just go.
So, Laila. Tell me.
- I have got my periods. - Okay. Um.
Were you trying to get pregnant?
Sam and I are meeting after two months
and we just wanted to spend some 'good time' together.
- Ah, good planning. - Thanks, so, just help me out.
How can I help with this?
Stop my periods so I can just go ahead with my plans.
It's not a tap that can be turned on and off.
But I took a pill to control it, like always.
- But this time, the pill failed. So, you just sort it out. -What pill?
To delay periods so my plans don't have to change.
Did a gynac prescribe that to you?
Why would I need a prescription for it?
Go and ask for it over the counter and get it.
But why do you want to delay your periods?
Because we can't have sex during periods.
Why can't we?
What?
No!
Ew! It's like...
So dirty and...
Messy!
Why would you think that?
Because it's unhygienic and... And...
I... I like don't think it's even allowed, you know.
You do know many people don't let girls enter the kitchen during periods, right?
They are made to sleep in a different room.
The female body is already going through so much during the periods.
It needs more love.
Not to feel excluded and dirty.
Oh, no, no, no! I am not one of those folks.
I don't believe periods are taboo.
- Why make period sex taboo then? - But...
Nurse, can guys also get a pap smear done?
Yes. Why not?
- That's if they have a vagina. - Oh!
When was your last period?
It's irregular. I had them two months ago.
And since when have you been taking this pill?
On and off for a year.
No wonder your periods are irregular.
These over-the-counter pills are messing with your menstrual cycle.
Okay.
So, how do we fix this now, doctor?
It's quite simple, actually.
You can take a chill on the pill.
It's okay to take hormonal medication during emergencies
but only when a gynacologist prescribes it to you. Hmm?
Okay. Right.
I'll keep that in mind.
I've got a small tip.
Orgasms are great for period cramps.
Of course, the choice is yours.
Oh! It's 'Choice and Care'?
And not 'Chaice and Care'.
Get the board fixed.
Dr. Vidushi. He's from the Municipal Board.
Dr. Vidushi Kothari.
Is the board outside yours?
Yes. Who else could it belong to?
Dr. Samarth's?
Why? What's the matter? Is something wrong?
No, nothing's wrong. It's good.
I mean your board is boldly visible even from a great distance.
- Thank you. - Is it new?
- Yes, it's absolutely brand new. - Yes, it appears to be.
I mean, the colour scheme, the font, the design.
It has got a neon light in it as well.
I bet it shines bright and clear at night.
- Yes! The entire road gets lit up. - Wow!
Do you have permission?
Permission?
To put a neon light in the board, to light up the road.
You need permission for that.
- I... I... I don't have that. - Oh!
Ma'am. You messed up.
Now, you will be fined. Give me that. Let's tear a new receipt.
Bro, let it go. I can speak Marathi.
Yes, yes, you do speak Marathi.
But still, you will be fined. Here.
We will be back in some time to take the board off. Okay?
But I will pay the fine.
You will have to pay the fine for the fault indeed.
But, you will also have to get the fault removed.
Shiny, shiny! Let's go.
Hey, watch out! Watch it.
It has got lights on. Shiny, shiny! Right?
Lights.
Be careful.
See?
You pointed out the spelling mistake and I got the board removed.
My husband is going to retire the next month.
And this year,
my daughter has to get admission into college.
So, are you accepting Dr. Samarth's job?
Yes, Doctor.
Nurse, please give me some more time.
I will figure something out.
My gut tells me everything will be fine.
I understand, Doctor.
But I go by the facts.
And the fact is that
your gut can't pay for the expenses of my household.
I will stay here until the notice period is over.
In the meantime, you can look for a nurse.
Thank you.
- Everything is good. - Yeah.
And you, no cheating.
What happened? Did Swara and Rahul get here yet?
Rahul was going to come here directly from the office.
And Swara, she is usually on time.
I am sure she will come. Let's wait.
The number you are trying to reach...
Yeah.
- Hello? - Mehr.
Go to Swara's house and check if she is there.
I have a work-life balance, Vidushi.
And you are interrupting my work life.
- Tell Rahul. -Rahul and Swara had to come to Arth's clinic.
Rahul has almost reached from office.
Swara hasn't reached yet.
My gut tells me something is wrong. Go and check at once!
Okay, fine.
Hi. Is Swara at home?
She went out for a walk an hour ago. She hasn't come back yet.
- Please come in. I will be back. - Okay.
Yes, Mehr. Is Swara there?
Your gut feeling was right, Vidushi.
Swara isn't home.
Swara's phone is switched off.
Don't worry, Rahul. We will find her. Don't worry.
Seher hasn't stopped crying.
Of course! She can sense something is wrong with her mother.
And she needs one of her parents there. Go home.
Mehr and I will go look for Swara. You stay here just in case she comes back.
- I'm here. - Alright, let's go, let's go.
MEHR, ANSWER MY CALL.
I can't get enough sleep.
I do find time to go to sleep.
- But I can't sleep. - Oh baby.
I waited for Seher for 9 months.
I took care of every little thing for her.
But...
But now that she is in front of me,
I just can't feel anything.
I don't feel like a mother at all.
No matter whatever I do, Vidushi,
it just doesn't seem enough.
Many times,
I don't feel like looking at her.
I loathe myself.
What kind of mother am I, Vidushi?
You know what everyone talks about?
The feeling of motherhood?
I just don't feel it.
I just feel like a failure.
Oh, baby.
I just... Just...
I just keep
feeling all the time that
I am doing everything wrong with Seher.
Nothing is going right.
I have failed, Vidushi. You know, I am failing at being a mother.
How did you know I'd be here?
Do you remember?
When you failed in Physics in 8th grade,
I found you here.
Then you said you wouldn't go back to school.
What happened the next day?
You made up your mind.
And then you topped Physics.
You picked yourself up, Swara.
You always do.
I can't, this time.
Swara, listen to me.
What you are going through right now is called post-partum depression.
It's not uncommon.
Nearly 20 percent of women in the world go through this.
Your body is overwhelmed post the delivery.
Your hormones are all over the place.
It's not you, baby.
It's a medical condition.
- Does it get better? - Of course, it gets better.
Of course, it gets better.
And you're not alone, Swara.
Okay?
Just like a good doctor,
I know how to make the right decision.
When to put a patient on a pill, when to take them off it.
But how do you take the right decisions in life?
Who trains you to do that?
I don't know.
