New year greetings to all. It's late from me but due to busy professional work starting 1st January with hefty cases to operate but was necessary to convey my heartfelt gratitude to all the patients, colleagues and well-wishers for love, support and faith in me. 2023 saw massive volume growth at Narayana hospital where I operated nearly 500 cases successfully, with a large chunk of arthroplasty cases; thanks again to the patients' faith and almighty. Numbers don't matter; what matters is the SUCCESSFUL surgical outcome and satisfaction in patients, which I receive with full humbleness and pray to God that I continue to serve the patients and humanity. My fulfilment was in many ways - (1) one operating complicated cases from far-out regions of J&K, Punjab and places like Dehradun etc. (not pilgrims but elective referred cases for expertise) and the fact that (2) publishing literary material in the field - 2 new editions of 2 books out of 3, (3) orthopedic care has started transforming seeing my practices and techniques. I always feel gratified when people around me grow and start learning things the correct way (deemed correct by expert orthopedic community at large). I hope to continue with my humble services and teaching.
