 A Doctor entered the hospital in hurry......

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes and went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father going and coming in the hall waiting for the doctor. Once seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have the sense of responsibility?”

The doctor smiled and said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came the fastest I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again and replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came and to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go and intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If you have any question, ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

NEVER JUDGE ANYONE BECAUSE You never know how their life is & as to what is happening or what they’re going through. .

Starting my Practise at Nova Specialty Surgeries

It is never ever easy to "change" be it life or profession.
It was a very memorable 5 years at Apollo in which I have seen ups and downs in both my personal and professional life.
Before I write about the new center I need to write a few lines about the top management of Apollo Bangalore.
It is not often that you see the management folks treat its doctors with humane touch or go out of the way to make sure the specialist is taken care of at their times of need.
CEO was extremely helpful during my tenure at Apollo. During my illness I was given special rooms to make me comfortable (Room cost around Rs.10,000-25,000). I got medicines at very discounted price and also certain privileges not heard of in other Institutions even within the same group. In fact he was one of the reasons for me continuing much longer than planned at Apollo. If not for him both my recovery and financial situation would have been miserable. In fact when I put in my papers he was very upset that I did not discuss with him.
I am thankful to the CEO and the DMS for accepting my request and also obliging with an OPD for two days (again very rarely given).
I will continue to operate and consult at both Apollo and Nova but for all practical purpose my time at Apollo will be limited
Coming to my new Avatar: I will be initiating new procedures and also setting up a state of art ENT OPD at Nova Specialty Surgeries (I will be at the Koramangala Unit).
I will be I/C of Africa, Middle East clinics and will also be consulting and operating monthly once at Chennai (To be started soon).
The Africa visit is already over and the foundation laid for my return visit in end April/early May
I will be starting the Balloon Sinuplasty and spearheading the Cochlear Implantation of the group along with Laser surgeries and also head and neck surgeries. 
Added to this is the fact I will be doing routine CME's, workshops, working on a collaboration with my Alma Mater in US and many many more things which are a huge personal and professional lift.
The beauty of the place is surgeries can be done on Sundays, everyday starting at 6 AM and there is no need for an overnight stay and yet Insurance covers for all the procedures. This fits my schedule and mode of working perfectly. Added to this is the marketing, PR, web activity and what not.
All in all it is a huge personal and professional gratifying move and I hope in the long run it turns to be a right decision...

A brave letter to PM by Prakash B Bajaj ( forward mail )

Must Read ! Very Powerfully Worded. Bravo - Prakash Bajaj, Editor of
Times of India .


LETTER OF THE EDITOR OF "THE TIMES OF INDIA " TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA


I am born and brought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe
me, corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar . Look at
all the politicians, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal
Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are
rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief
ministers I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every
other day, make money and send it to Delhi , so Congress can fight
next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI
for fishermen, so they can build concrete houses right on sea shore.
Next time terrorists can comfortably live in those houses, enjoy the
beauty of the sea and then attack our Mumbai at their will.

Recently, I had to purchase a house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen
builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me
knows this and with all your intelligence agency & CBI, you and your
finance ministers are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes?
To the underworld, isn't it? Our politicians take help of these
goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you
have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.

If this has been a land of fools, idiots, then I would not have ever
cared to write to you this letter. Just see the tragedy. On one side
we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent; and on the other
side, you politicians have converted nectar into deadly poison.I am
everything  - Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Scheduled Caste, OBC, Muslim
OBC, Christian Scheduled Caste, and Creamy Scheduled Caste; only what
I am not is INDIAN. You politicians have raped every part of Mother
India by your policy of divide and rule.

Take example of our Former President Abdul Kalam. Such an intelligent
person; such a fine human being. But you politician didn't even spare
him and instead choose a worthless lady who had corruption charges and
insignificant local politician of Jalgaon WHO'S NAME ENTIRE COUNTRY
HAD NOT HEARD BEFORE. Its simple logic your party just wanted a rubber
stamp in the name of president. Imagine SHE IS SUPREME COMMANDER OF
INDIA 'S THREE DEFENSE FORCES. What morale you will expect from our
defense forces? Your party along with opposition joined hands, because
politicians feel they are supreme and there is no place for a good
person.

Dear Mr Prime minister, you are one of the most intelligent person, a
most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and
foremost, expose all selfish politicians. Ask Swiss banks to give
names of all Indian account holders. Give reins of CBI to independent
agency. Let them find wolves among us. There will be political
upheaval, but that will be better than dance of death which we are
witnessing every day. Just give us ambience where we can work honestly
and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be
taken care of.

Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one
person, or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

Awarded "The Best ENT Surgeon" in Bangalore

It was really a surprise when I came to know that I was nominated for the Best ENT surgeon award given by the Brand Academy
Initially I was very skeptical as I have been receiving requests for award nominations and knew they were all fad. 
Then I started doing my research and was convinced that these guys are not giving awards for money and they mean business.
I need to thank my patients for suggesting my name under the Top Doctors category and it is truly satisfying and gratifying to know that I was the only ENT surgeon to get this unique honor.
The letter as received: 
Dear Sir,

Greetings from the BIG Brands Research team!

We would like to extend our heartiest congratulations to you for the excellent response you services have garnered from the respondents of the opinion survey conducted by our team for Service Excellence Awards 2011. We would like to confirm that you are the front runner for an award as mentioned in the attached confirmation letter.


You will be pleased to know that all the award winners will share the limelight with some of the leading service providers from all across India, who will all be receiving Service Excellence Awards in different categories in the ceremony scheduled to be conducted in Bangalore in a 5 Star hotel on October 29, 2011. The winners will be felicitated by Mr. Shashi Tharoor at this gala ceremony and the Who's Who from the service industries in India will be participating in this event...

The only sad part was that I was not able to receive the award in person since I was recovering from my surgery and my father was nominated to receive the same.

I am happy that I have another Feather in my Cap...

Misuse of Cochlear Implants - The Inside Story – Spread the word

Of late there seems to be more controversy and misuse of Cochlear Implants than its benefits - Well known and extremely skilled surgeons across the country are being denied the Implant by the companies - Reason - Monopoly and Kickbacks. One implant company was already penalized in the US for the same reason.

 

It is a Paradox that an association was formed (CIGI)

claiming to spread the knowledge of Cochlear Implantation and prevent its misuse, but it is members of  the same group who have formed a very close secret group who are arm twisting the companies and making them deny implants and thereby creating a Monopoly indirectly increasing the cost and in turn higher Benefits (read Kickbacks). It also seems to be the only association where member list is not available even to its members!!! Why this secrecy is a reason well known to the ENT community - since even members of the group have been denied implants. It was then members of the association started exposing this corruption and uncovering the Real reasons for implant denial and exposed the same to the ENT community. Though the reasons for denial of implants is claimed to be logistics - ground reality going by the postings in Facebook seem to be throwing a different light altogether. This is like 2G scam of Medicine.

 

Govt pays an amount of Rs.5 Lakh per implant. But our Elite CI surgeons ask the children to go in for Rs.10 lakh implant (stating that this will help them to hear better), the poor have to raise the money by selling their land and also requesting Philanthropy.  Imagine how much one has to toil to get this amount. Now with the Economy not looking bright this seems to be the only viable business.  How many lives can be saved if this was used for life saving procedures.

 

Few Surgeons have received Lakhs as "ADVANCE" (Read Kickbacks) not taking into account the fully paid foreign trips with family (shameful) and some have also received money for clinics/hospitals/luxury cars etc.,  Only a handful whom I know personally pass the benefits to the patient, others including some very well known names enjoy this and prevent others in their state from undertaking the procedure to increase their profits. If this was not enough their source of referral are also very well taken care of by way of lodging in 5 star hotels with drinks and What Not.

 

 

Some have even taken dealership of the implants and thereby their profits increase much more. Also some surgeons depend on this Kickback money alone shamefully for their survival. 

 

How many of you toil day and night, work under pressure and have to neglect family to earn a decent living and make ends meet? and here we have "Elite Surgeons" who make huge amounts of money as "Benefits" for just 3 hours and also create an impression that it is the Panacea for deafness and Implant Children who will not benefit from the implant.

Even the rehabilitation is done in secrecy and in some places by their family members - Whether they are properly trained is a big question mark. This avoids the misdeeds to be exposed.

 

This also goes against the dreams and wishes of our former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who wanted an Implant to be manufactured in India for less than 1 lakh, probably he had foreseen the misuse and Kickbacks involved. But then the hold of CI surgeons is so strong that this may not happen in near future and his dream will most likely remain as a dream only.

 

 

Worst part most of these unethical surgeons have formed NGO's where the kickbacks are pumped in!!!


It is sad that at one place we have Anna fighting for accountability and at the other end there is secrecy and misuse of these devices for personal Benefits by few Greedy, unethical  specialists.

Join hands so that this marvelous device is not misused for personal gains.
