I, Dr. Dhiren Goradia, M.S.,(Bom), F.C.P.S., had the rare opportunity to be trained under guidance of Dr. P.K.Sen and Dr. G.B.Parulkar at Cardio Thoracic Surgery Department, K.E.M. Hospital, Parel, Bombay- a Premier Institution at National Level. Dr. P.K.Sen was pioneer of Heart Surgery in India. He contributed many research operations in early phase of Cardiac Surgery Branch. In 1976, I joined as a Tutor, Cardio Thoracic Surgery Department at B.J.Medical College and New Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. I was promoted as Assistant Professor and Professor & Head of the Department of Cardio Thoracic Surgery. During this period, in addition to V.S.Hospital, this was the only super speciality department in the whole of Gujarat. There were no corporate hospitals in Medical Field. Neighbouring States like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh were also used to be benefitted at this institution. New Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad was considered one of the Asia’s largest hospital in public sector. The unique feature of this state run hospital was that it was absolutely free of charge treatment to any one, irrespective of financial, social or political status. The standards of hospital treatment and consultants in various specialities were so high that minister and bureaucracy were keen to be treated at this institute. The workload and opportunity of vast experience were enormous. See more at: http://www.heartattacksurgery.com/Pages/About-Us .zCbymWYO.dpuf
