I believe surgical practice needs to be ethical. Patients should earn the surgery, it should not be imposed upon and in case of grave emergencies, they should be explained about the risks and expected outcome along with possible complications with conviction and compassion. If the patients realise that surgery is required and they will be cured or have a better quality and productive life as an outcome, half the battle is won.

I try to understand not only the ailment but also the patient’s overall condition, the risks involved and benefits expected, the family, the logistics involved and only then do I proceed with the treatment. I believe one should be open to discussions, be transparent and always agree for a second opinion at any stage of the treatment. I have particular interest in emergency and trauma surgeries, complicated and high risk patients and treating those who have been refused from other centres considering the magnitude of risk involved. I have been enriched with a vast experience of treating surgical issues of paralysed and spinal cord injured patients in my practice. I am indebted to my mentors and I have a legacy to carry forward, I don’t deviate from the teachings of my masters.

In all my years of practising surgery with so many patients I have treated, I have always been blessed with the well wishes of my patients and colleagues.

Irrespective of the results, my intention and endeavour shall remain unaltered. Results are bestowed upon by the almighty, and they have always been encouraging when I intend to do good.
