My friend Dr. Shohreh the specialist for women
Shohreh the medical student of the university Istanbul.
Bahman was saying that in the time he was in Istanbul and studying medicine he met a Persian girl who was in the last year of her medical studying, her name was Shohreh and they get much closed friends, as both of them were out of Iran and they did not have any family or relative there. Shohreh was about ten years older than Bahman. She was like his older sister and helped him. Bahman was in the first grade of medical school, and Shohreh in the last year.
Shohreh finished her medical years of studying and now was working in the hospital to get the specialties degree. They were very close to each other and Dr. Shohreh speaks about all her secrets of her life to him.
Shohreh was tall and had a nice body; she was not thin, but also not fat. But her face was not attractive and that was a negative point in her body. May be one of the reasons that she did not marry and get to a long time medical studying was because her face was not nice. May be she thought the title of Medical Specialist Dr. will cover the problem of her face. In the time that they got friend, Bahman was twenty years old and Shohreh was thirty years old. After few years Shohreh was now thirty five and she was very anxious and willing to marry. She thought that as a Specialist MD Dr. She can marry easily. She made now good money, but I do not know why she did not spend some money to operate her face.
But she did not do this operation and stayed in the same form as before. She was very active after a man and she went every where she invited and most nights she stayed in the hotel’s restaurants in the hope to find a nice man. And direct and indirect she asked her friends to find a good husband for her. She wanted also a high class husband a good one and not any man.
Dr. Shohreh sometime was so bold to reach or approach a man that she could come easily in trouble. They thought she wants the sexual relationship and mixed her with the woman who charges money for the sexual intercourse. It is clear that was also the fault of Dr. Shohreh as she was very open to any man, in the hope that he is a good man. She laughed with them touched them easily in a very friendly manner, and they thought she is a professional sex person. Shohreh wanted to get a good husband and the men thought she wanted to sell her body to them. Two different ideas came in their thought. After a while that Shohreh knew and feels that the man in her company thinks differently and he thinks she wants money in the change of money, Shohreh got very angry. And sometime she got so upset that she hits the man with her bags on his head. And because she was tall and strong, she could easily hit a man and give some slaps in his face or with her fist hits his head. She was not careful and she was very confident that the men cannot do any harm with her. One day Shohreh could get a good man in her table in the restaurant. And Shohreh was very nice friendly to the man and laugh with him and have fun. So the man thought she is ready and asked her do you have a place and how much do you charge? Shohreh friendly action changes very fast to an angry woman and slaps with her hand to his month. The man was confused why she acts so wildly. And he tried to say some bad words and run away from her.
Shohreh was very upset and wanted to continue to hit the man. Because she thought she is a respectful person with a high degree in medicine from the best university in Turkey and the people should honor her and not handle like a prostitute. She cried you idiot man and hits him with her feast and feet, I am a specialist medical Dr. you change me with your sister and mother. Do you think I am your prostitute sister or mother? That is their job and not mine. I am a Doctor. And she said a lot of bad words to him. The man run away and was very amazed from the whole situation. First so nice and suddenly so angry. Shohreh thinks as a woman she has the right to do the same that men do. Looking for a husband. As the men are looking for a wife. She does not consider that the culture does not agree that a woman be after a man like a man is after a wife.
It is clear that a woman like Dr. Shohreh with nice expensive clothes and eating in expensive restaurants and looking anxiously after the men and laugh and sign at them or smile in a very friendly way, make easily an error that the woman is not normal and is sort of expensive prostitute. I said to Shohreh that is not the way to go to bars, restaurants and cabaret to find a husband, you have to go to the better circle of men, for example writers or doctors or engineers and artists, they are more serious than the people who come to the bar to drink and have snakes.
These men think you want them for business and not as friends. Shohreh asked me if I can company her in these parties and she will pay also my costs, because she knows I am still student and do not have enough money. I agree and went with her. But she was so naïve and does such simple action that young girls do, that again the men thought she is not a normal woman. Shohreh with thirty five years was a virgin girl and in reality she was very good hearted woman. She was tall and strong so she was very confident that she can hit any man easily. So she thought no body can rape her and be dangerous with her. So she acts like a man or a very naïve woman.
And now she tried artificially acting like a lady. But she could not do this action well. So she attracts men who were not serious. They thought I am also her business manager or a Gigolo to company her. The specialist doctor and I that I was in the last year of medical school for them were cheap people who want to have sex and money.
One day we were in a very expensive restaurant and
Dr. Shohreh ordered the most expensive food in the menu. Crab and musher with caviar, the order was so expensive that the Garson looked at us anxiously. He thought we are very rich and he will get huge tips. But Shohreh was very happy and smiled at the two men where coming in the restaurant. She acts so clearly that the men came directly toward us and asked if they can sit with us. I said sure, because that was an invitation signaled by Shohreh by her eyes. She sent the signal and the men came right to us.
I was not happy with what she was doing, but she was a good friend and I did not want to make her upset. As Shohreh helped me a lot and was a really good friend. So I would like to help her also. She helped me to find a room and she helped me to pass the exams for the chemistry. But is seemed that the men thought the Shohreh is a cheap woman and I am her company of her manager.
Shohreh was very happy to speak with them and she laughed a lot with them and they have fun together. And as I said she was very fast and very careless with the men. After a while one of them told Shohreh that they both have nice rooms in this hotel so the place is not a problem, if she says her costs, may be they can make a business with her. Shohreh suddenly from a friendly laughing woman changed to a lioness that is very angry and wanted to take her heavy bag and hit the head of the man with it. I was monitoring Shohreh and as I saw she is angry and wanted to take her bag, I hold her hand. And said in a very respectful manner, Ms. Dr. Let me speak. Be cool please, there is just a misunderstanding. The two men were confused and amazed what was wrong. And may be they thought the word Ms. Dr. I said is just a jock. So I feel their astonishment and gave her visit card to them in the card was written Ms. Dr. Shohreh…the women specialist in the Hospital Kamal Bey Oghlu. The two Turkish men who know their mistake and understand that they insult a famous doctor. Said in a very humbled voice, Ms. Doctor. Dear doctor, you should forgive our stupidity. Please, let us kiss your hand which helps the sick people. This time Shohreh get very satisfied and with a nice smile gave her hands to them be kissed by them. The Turkish men who released the situation and did not want to be more stupid, and act wrongly said again they hope that you forgive us. That was our mistakes and our fault please forget and forgive our rudeness and they have gone and distanced very fast from us. In this way the plan of Dr. Shohreh did not work again. I told her, that she should be a little more careful and in friendship she should not be so fast. That the men be confused. She said you are saying lie, is it a lie or not? I said you see by yourself that the Turkish men were confused by your action. And they thought you are a prostitute. Shohreh was not happy and a little later she could adjust herself and finished her food and we left the restaurants. Shohreh thought with open arms she can get and find good man. But she wanted also high class men, like general, minister, professors or rich merchant. At the end she was tired to be in Turkey and she decided to go to Iran.
With the corresponding she got a good government job with a good salary and one day she told me if I can bring her to the airport, she is going back to Tehran. I got a taxi and went to her apartment and took her suitcases and we drive to Yeshilkoy the airport international of Istanbul. She worked in Tehran in a big hospital and she also opened a nice practice office in the best part of Tehran and she was collecting rich patients. She was now over thirty six years old and she was not only a doctor, but a rich woman also. I finished my study and went back to Tehran.
I came back and I was twenty seven years old and my parent told me, it is not nice to stay alone and not married. To be single is not good for a doctor like you. So they introduce a girl to me who was in fourth year of university and in one year she could have her BS. Shohreh knew that I am in Tehran and invited me and my wife to her nice house.
She prepared a very nice dinner for us and invited also some other friends of hers and her family also. She had a nice young maid and another man servant; they helped her in her office and her house. She made that night a nice dinner with music and good environment. We enjoyed us after so many years out of Iran and as student in Turkey. Shohreh adapted also a girl as a child, but she told me that she was married and born this child by herself. But she was always in contact with me and she never told me that she is married and born also a child. But now she preferred to say that the girl was not adopted, but born by her. She told me also one time through telephone that she wants to adapt a little girl, and I said that is good and you can help the girl to have a better life as be in orphan house. And now she insists that she born the child by herself.
After a while again Shohreh called me and asked me if I can company her like in Istanbul in hotel and parties, so in this way she is not alone. I said I will discuss the matter with Faezeh my wife and if she agrees I will come to you. Faezeh told me I can go with her and can help her as she is a good friend and I can even invite her in our house and we can also invite our male friend to be friends with her. May be one of them will marry her. My wife said we can help her to find a good husband. But as I wrote before Shohreh wanted a very good husband, something like minister, generals or rich merchant. Doctors or advocates. That day Shohreh had wear a very beautiful expensive cloth and had a lot of expensive real nice jewelry and big pearl with her, which matched her cloth. She had two good place cards for the Rudaki opera house hall in Tehran. She let me drive her nice new car and we went like very rich people in the Opera house of Tehran. After that she asked me if we can go together to a hotel restaurant and eat together a nice dinner. All these actions were for finding a good husband for her.
In the way to restaurant she asked me, Bahman your father is a general; does he have not good single friend to introduce to me? I told her, I will ask my father, but he is almost in the time of retirement and soon he will be retired. She asked me again and fast, before he is retired he should come with you and your mother and your wife to my house. Bring also your father to my office and ask him to come to my office with his uniform. One day I asked my wife and my parent to come with me in Shohreh house and office. My father and mother were nice and they wanted also to thank Shohreh for her help offered to me in Istanbul. Shohreh received them very friendly just like her own parents. Shohreh again invited my parents and my wife and me to another big party, which she will arrange in her big house. Again she asked me to ask my father to come to her party with the uniform.
I told my father that Shohreh asked again to wear your uniform. My father laughed and said, still is good that she does not ask that I should wear my official reception black or white uniforms. Which generally we wear when we are going to the King place for Salaam or official ceremony days. The Salaam uniform is very nice and very expensive. It is black or white with a lot of gold flowers put on it. When the general visit Shah in a very formal condition, they wear this uniform.
Shohreh did a very nice party and had spent a lot of money for that night. My father took also one of his friends whose wife had died recently. And he introduces him to Shohreh.
After a while again Shohreh asked me to visit her. Now I have two children and I was busier than before. Shohreh was sitting in her office and another girl was playing with her. She was over four years and told Shohreh give your breast I want to suck them. Shohreh told her with anger, be quite.
Shohreh was now fifty years old. And she was very worried that she did not marry. She was now very upset and said now I can marry any man. As long as he wants to marry me; I will marry him. Now she was a very rich woman.
Later I saw that Shohreh married a young man. And Shohreh sent the two girls away, because she afraid to be used by the young husband. And so it will be a scandal.
One day Shohreh told me I lost my life because of education. If I was clever I would marry much earlier in the time that I was twenty or even less than twenty. Sorrowfully Shohreh had forgotten that her face did not attract young men to her in the time that she was young and for this reason she studied so long. But she did not operate her face. I do not know why. I afraid to say this to her. And she forgets also that she wanted a very high class man. A rich one and a good one. I remember in the time that she was in the last year of her medical school. A Swiss nice student asked me if this Persian girl would marry her. I asked Shohreh if she wants to marry the boy who is literature student in the university of Istanbul and he is from Switzerland. She told me, next year I will get Dr. Title and I will be Dr. MD and how can I marry a student who will be just a language teacher later. But now she was so upset why she did not marry the nice boy. She said she was stupid. One time she said that was my fault why I did not insist that she should marry her. I said how I could influence you that time. You have decided no marry him and you did not do it. It was a little bit strong for me too that a nice boy wanted marry her. As she does not have a nice face. But later I see one of my friends, Mahtab who was not even medical student. And had just finished high school married a nice rich German man. Shohreh regret not marrying the Swiss man. But Mahtab who was not nicer and or more beautiful than Shohreh married a nice rich German man. And Shohreh for having a better husband lost the good husband and later married a man who just married her to be paid by her and he wanted just to use her money and richness. May be he was a play boy type and had other girl friends also. But the Swiss man was a nice man. So that was the end.
