Walk of life

  " You are raising someone who will forget you." A remark  I heard in a podcast. A Parent nurturing and Caring the child. A Teacher imparting knowledge to the student.. A Leader mentoring the followers A Doctor healing the patient... Does  the beneficiary remember the benefactor forever??? A thought occurred to me.... When I was nurturing and Caring my child,it never crossed my mind,whether my child must or will reciprocate back.... When I give Anaesthesia to my patient, I never think nor expect patient to remember me after recovery from Anaesthesia. How necessary is validation for the work we do in our life? Is it necessary for present generation to show gratitude to me for the work I have done in my lifetime? Must the coming generation, whose attention span is few minutes( and they move on to the next reel), remember me???? How important is it to be remembered??? Am I or my work relevant only if both are recognized and remembered???? If one just does thei...

  The Sting of Words. " You can never become Doctor. Don't even think about getting into medical college. " These harsh words said by a Teacher to me in 12th Standard after seeing my performance in weekly tests. I was struggling with Physics. However hard I was trying,the required performance and scores was just not reached. The words stung hard. As predicted, my scores in Physics in Board exams did come low and I couldn't reach the cutoff to secure a Medical seat in Mumbai. I worked harder and got 10th rank in State quota of the All India Pre Medical test conducted by MGIMS, Sewagram. 5 and half years later.....I did become a Doctor. Do I remember the teacher.....No. But the sting of her words.....memory of the pain it caused to me.....Remain Forever. Words are like that huge wave..... Comes hits you .... Goes back to the sea..... But the debris of the sea thrown by the waves at the shores..... Remain forever. Nobody remembers the magnamity of the Wave...

  OT Diaries. As an Anaesthesiologist  working freelance in private practice, I get opportunity to do variety of procedures.I get opportunity to interact with different people every day. I get to give Anaesthesia to Mental disorders and Psychological disorder in all age groups and both genders. Some severe cases of both disorders are dependent upon their Caretakers for their survival at times. A 19yr girl was brought to Scan center for MRI.She was violent and since birth needed nurturing and caring.The parents looked tired,aged and apprehensive. After the Scan got over,as I was giving the parents post procedure instructions, the mother started crying.The father started sharing his anxiety " Doctor, We have taken her to NIMHANS Bengaluru too.So many treatments and consultations done.Our only anxiety is who will take care of her after we die?" A 35yr Psychological disorder patient used to get admitted occasionally to the Rehabilitation center whenever she became violent an...

  The Paradigm Shift of Medical Education. This Blog is in continuity of my last blog. Medical Education has seen a slow Paradigm Shift. Pre Independence and early Post Independence....almost till 1950-60,Medical Education was predominantly male dominated,mostly perceived by affluent class. Reason....a very long and expensive course compared to other professional courses. The girls in the family couldn't even Dream of becoming Doctor and were neither encouraged nor allowed to pursue Medical course. In my family, except for a distant aunt from my Maternal side,nobody in the family ...males or females ,opted nor were encouraged to pursue MBBS inspite of scoring good marks and even topping the entire District and University. Reason- Long,Expensive. In such an Era of Indian Society, my husband 's Nanaji ,who was LMP( Licensed Medical Practitioner) in a small village near Irkal,Maharashtra, sent my MiL to a private Medical College at Manipal ,Karnataka to study MBBS. Sending ...

  The Paradigm Shift. As an Anaesthesiologist, working freelance in private practice, I get the opportunity to interact with patients and their attenders of all age groups, gender,strata,communities and mindsets. Also.... I have now completed almost 3 decades in Anaesthesia and Medical field from 1992 as a student, then a post graduate  followed by Practitioner. I myself being a woman,raised by women and raising another girl child. I see a Paradigm Shift in the world and Society... In a Woman.....for a woman.....towards a woman. My Ajji ,pre independence,was educated but got married off and totally was involved in her family responsibilities till the end. My Mother,a post graduate ( She did her MSc after I was in primary school),was a working woman. I am an Anaesthesiologist, a highly skilled professional, managing a busy private practice career and home. My Daughter is a Medical student and tomorrow will be a highly skilled professional too. A Society initially view...
