“My mother started shouting something and shaking her head. The audience united in their booing and started hurling objects at me. The judges looked quite unimpressed and were holding up scores of zero. The French judge was taunting me, laughing at my indecision.‘Save me,’ shouted Salma from the floor.
‘I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…,’ I apologised.
The crowd’s angry screams increased. My mother, the judges, the crowd and even Salma surrounded me and started pushing me back and forth, back and forth, yelling abuse, shouting for my blood…
I woke up covered in a bath of sweat. It took me a few moments to realise that I was in the comfort of my own bed. It had all been a dream, and an extremely bizarre one at that. But one part of it rang true: today is my first day as a doctor at the prestigious St Ivanhoe Hospital. I’m Dr Manjula Mendis and this will be a diary of my internship.”
