 Anxiety..... I got a 40yr old lady for consultation regarding shoulder pain in my Pain Clinic. After examination, prescribed her pain killers. She felt better but returned back after a month again..... So after just a casual conversation, she revealed that she had habit of sweeping and moping her huge verandah. I prescribed some muscle relaxants and adjuvant. Next consultation, she was accompanied by her husband.  The Man...made personal commitments on my looks...which almost edged to flirting .Then audacious addresses his embarassed wife" Look at yourself and compare with this Doctor. She is so fit and confident. "...... Most times,we Doctors, have to treat the person more than their disease....especially when I am treating Chronic Pain. The cause of Pain in my patient.....on Face value was her Chronic Shoulder pain due to excess movement..... But root cause was Anxiety due to constant pressure by her Spouse....the constant comparison.....the constant expectations....... An

My Basket of Apples..... I plucked apples ....red rosy,juicy apples.Priceless .I took great tender care looking after them. I protected them well. Suddenly I became busy for few days ....and forgot to keep an eye on them...... Some evil mind stealthily put a rotten apple in my basket..... I checked onto my Priced Apples..... They got rotten spoilt. As parents, we take utmost care of our kids with tender love and great affection. We keep them protected from external forces..... We try to teach them values.... But someday......they have to come to contact with outside world..... We as parents do make utmost efforts keep a vigilant eye.....and monitor them. Unfortunately, it does happen that they get into unhealthy company......or people of not good influence....... Especially the age of Adolescence and Youth...... A vulnerable age...... Drinking, Smoking, Drugs,Betting,Love, romance, casual sex,unhealthy habits, digital influence.......an endless list of distraction....

How much love is must?????? A 16yr old boy was brought into Operation theatre for Debridement of Ulcer on foot. This healed after few days. 2 months later,he came again with a similar ulcer over other foot. Likewise,every few months similar Ulcers were seen over different areas of legs. All tests were conducted but no diagnosis for cause of Ulcers could be found. A year or so.....this same boy landed up in Emmergency with slit of wrist. So this time, he got referred to a Psychiatrist. A couple sessions revealed a horrific surreal narrative. The boy used to inject into his skin over foot and legs ....by himself ...."

This kid was born weak.Hence,the parents were over protective for him.Every demand of his used to be met.Every word of his was followed. As he grew up......his Aggre

So Shallow So Deep. I was reading a book written by Sudha Murthy....she narrates an incident where she had gone to offer condolences to a neighbor whose octogenarian family member had expired. The whole scene was totally different from what she expected so much so that left her wondering " Have I come to the right address?" TV set was on...kids and some family members were watching....enjoying...there was laughter....ladies engrossed in their daily hustle bustle...... I too was witness to a similar funeral of an Octagenarian..... The rituals were performed under a Lady priest.The entire program was concise to just 1 hour or so.Mantras read in Sanskrit and translated in English for everyone to understand. The youth had also attended. Surprisingly...as today's Gen Z is disinterested in our traditions. After the Rituals..... The younger generation clicked pics to post on Insta Updates" # Cousins at Ajja's last journey"...... The Entire family got the

Peer Pressure. A Professor tried to commit suicide.He was brought into Operation theatre for Electroconvulsive Therapy and counseling. I being the Anaesthesiologist was part of this treatment for few sessions.....and his treatment which went on for few days..... A strong dominating personality had been severely heartbroken and was simply inconsolable. " Where did I go wrong?????" He would just burst into tears.....crying continuously each session. This Professor had a daughter who he loved very much. His Apple of the eye.Her every wish was fulfilled. The daughter too loved her Father and was very studious and sincere.Did every thing to make her Father proud. After her 12th Std,she approached her Father requesting him to allow her to study in bigger city away from their Tier 3 mofussil town.

I have been a regular in this Cricket Ground for many years. Earlier, just few girls...handful mostly daughters if sports persons were seen attending the Camp. This year,.....I saw many girls enroll. Just a thought...... Nowadays, many girls belonging to Middle class Families of 3 Tier cities are being supported by parents in field of Sports. Pre Independence and few years Post Independence.....only rich affluent class girls used to be seen pursuing education in professional courses.
