Dr. D.P. Puri: The Steady Hand of Dehradun’s Medical Fraternity
In the mist-kissed valleys of Dehradun, where the Doon hills cradle stories of quiet heroism, there once walked a physician whose name still echoes softly in the corridors of the Indian Medical Association’s local branch. Dr. D.P. Puri, past President of IMA Dehradun, was never one for loud proclamations or grand stages. His was the […]

Trust only works when it travels in both directions.
“You have killed my son.” Those were the first words Priya Sharma said to me. Her voice was quiet, almost calm, but her eyes were pure fire. Behind her, the corridor lights hummed. Inside the operating theatre, her son Arjun was still on the table. The anaesthetist, Dr. Mehta, was fighting to keep him alive. […]
Dr. Binod Naithani
With profound grief, we share that Dr. Binod Naithani of the SNMC 1967 batch breathed his last early this morning at Max Hospital after a brief illness. An anaesthesiologist whose steady hands and calm presence guided countless patients through the most vulnerable moments of their lives, he leaves behind a legacy measured not in headlines, […]
Coccydynia
In the quiet, sun-dappled corridors of the Government Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode, where the scent of jasmine from the courtyard mixed with the sharper tang of antiseptic, Dr. Meenakshi Nair had built a reputation that stretched far beyond the palm-fringed streets of Kerala. She was not the kind of physician whose name appeared in […]

BIRTH OF SNMC, AGRAआगरा के थॉमसन हॉस्पिटल से सरोजिनी नायडू मेडिकल कॉलेज तक का सफर
आज हम अपनी आगरा के घुमक्कड़ हैरिटेज वॉक के दौरान शहर की एक ऐसी ऐतिहासिक धरोहर के सामने खड़े होकर फोटो खिंचवाने का अवसर मिला, जिसका इतिहास केवल चिकित्सा से नहीं, बल्कि आधुनिक भारत के निर्माण से भी जुड़ा हुआ है। जिसे आज हम सरोजिनी नायडू मेडिकल कॉलेज (SNMC) के नाम से जानते हैं, उसकी […]
CAR-T
One of the most stunning images in the world of modern oncology. In the image on the left:The body looks as if it’s drowning in disease… scattered black spots across multiple areas, representing regions of high tumor activity in a PET scan. Then came a treatment that was entirely different:Genetically modified CAR-T cells — where […]
Refeeding syndrome
Refeeding syndrome is a potentially serious (and rarely fatal) metabolic complication that can occur when nutrition is reintroduced too rapidly after a period of prolonged malnutrition or starvation.3 It involves shifts in fluids and electrolytes driven by hormonal and metabolic changes (particularly an insulin surge from carbohydrate intake), leading to deficiencies that impair organ function. […]
Dr. Raymond Vahan Damadian
Dr. Raymond Vahan Damadian (1936–2022) was the determined physician-inventor who built the world’s first MRI scanner, driven by a personal mission against cancer and an unyielding belief that science could peer inside the living body without the risks of X-rays. Born March 16, 1936, in Manhattan and raised in Forest Hills, Queens, he was the […]
Dr. V. P. Mittal: The Ever-Youthful Healer of Tilak Road
At 83, most people slow down. Dr. V. P. Mittal still rises before dawn, does a brisk walk through the quiet lanes of Dehradun, and arrives at his modest clinic on Tilak Road with the energy of a man half his age. The waiting room is already filling up—mothers with restless toddlers, fathers balancing vaccine […]
Dr Rajendra Kanwar
In the quiet hills of Jol Sappar, near Nadaun in Himachal’s Hamirpur district, an elderly man still opens his modest clinic each morning. At 77, Dr Rajendra Kanwar — known locally as the “Kangu Wale Doctor” — greets patients with the same gentle smile he has offered for nearly five decades. Many leave without paying […]
Prof. Dr. Lopa Mehta
Prof. Dr. Lopa Mehta walks the corridors of Mumbai’s Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital not as a distant legend, but as someone who still greets students with a quiet smile and a probing question: “Why did you choose medicine? To cure, or to truly care?” She is Emeritus Professor and former Head of […]
Short Story of Protamine Sulphate
In the cold winter nights of the 1870s, along the rivers of Switzerland, a young biochemist named Friedrich Miescher worked by the open window. He was chasing the secrets of the cell nucleus. Salmon sperm, rich and plentiful in the cold season, became his unlikely material. From those tiny cells he isolated two remarkable substances: […]
Y Subbarow
He discovered the energy molecule that runs every cell in every living thing on Earth. Then he invented the first chemotherapy drug. Then the first tetracycline antibiotic. Harvard denied him tenure. A bowling alley wouldn’t let him bowl. He died at 53 with no obituary. His drugs save tens of millions of lives every year. […]
Doon Valley
Page 3 of 3 The Doon Valley was amongst the first places in India to have a school for the blind. Sharp Memorial Blind School was opened in the early part of the century. Soon after Independence, the government established the Central Braille Press in 1951. This was followed by the setting up of NIVH […]
Prehabilitation
The most strongly recommended non-pharmacological intervention is prehabilitation (specifically multimodal prehabilitation).Rather than waiting for postoperative rehabilitation, prehabilitation proactively builds physiologic reserve before elective surgery.Core Components of Multimodal PrehabilitationExercise Therapy:Aerobic conditioning (e.g., walking, cycling) to improve cardiorespiratory reserve.Resistance training to build muscle mass and counteract frailty-induced sarcopenia.Inspiratory muscle training to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.Nutritional Optimization:High-protein supplementation […]
Uvula
uvula While its exact physiological role in humans is still a subject of ongoing study, several primary functions have been identified:Saliva Production: The uvula contains a high concentration of mucous glands that secrete thin saliva, helping to keep the throat and mouth moist and lubricated.Swallowing and Speech: During swallowing, the soft palate and uvula move […]
Dementia care
Dr. Sung Shen-chu (宋思權 / S.C. Sung / Jeff Sung), a longtime neurologist in Chiayi, Taiwan, wrote this letter based on decades of caring for dementia and stroke patients. The widely shared version you saw is a condensed core; the original Facebook post lists 22 specific wishes. It is a powerful exercise in empathy: treating […]
The Decline of Medical Ethics: Small Hospitals vs Corporate Healthcare
Time to introspect. 🙏🏼 I have been wanting to write this for a long time—not against any individual doctor or institution, but about a growing culture in healthcare that concerns me deeply. There was a time when medicine was primarily about patients, relationships, empathy and professional respect. Today, in many large corporate hospitals, healthcare increasingly […]
Bile acid sequestrants (resins)
Bile acid sequestrants (resins) — specifically colesevelam, cholestyramine, and colestipol — are the lipid-lowering agents contraindicated in severe hypertriglyceridemia because they can significantly raise TG levels. This is a well-established class effect: by interrupting enterohepatic bile acid recirculation, resins upregulate hepatic VLDL synthesis, worsening hypertriglyceridemia. They are generally contraindicated when TG ≥300–400 mg/dL and absolutely […]

implant-related infections.
The core idea is solid and matches published science. MDPB (12-methacryloyloxydodecylpyridinium bromide) is a quaternary ammonium compound that can be covalently bonded to implant surfaces (including cobalt-chromium). It is non-eluting: it stays fixed on the surface and kills bacteria on contact by disrupting their cell membranes rather than leaching antibiotics into the body. In vitro […]
