The word Doctor in latin means Teache- Teacher, Of course we do. It may be in the form of what we explain to the needy patients. More than that we learn everyday and from every body whom we see. This is one such attempt of spreading what I learn daily to others in the most relevant form which may be useful to them at some point.

Down the memory lane ....Shastha
Since when I joined Apollo Madurai( Jan 05,1998 ) I had the habit of coming in the morning 9 Am and leave in the evening when work s over. It includes OP, IP rounds twice a day and after a evening break one night rounds of all sick patients. This was the routine for almost 20 years. I never practiced outside in the evening hours or dont go for opinon for other hospitals as a policy. The unit did lot of quality work and we could gain the confidence of almost all patients. During the tenure of 25 years in Apollo in a speciality which is so vulnerable I had only one case in consumer forum and won it.
There was some sort of uncertainity in mind which made me to start a unit of my own. There was a triangle. My house, Gomathipuram Unit and Apollo formed the apices. I start from home , go to Gomathipuram then to Apollo and reverse in the evening. I asumed everything is smooth and Shastha was growing.
One fine day when I was coming to my Consultation room near dialysis Unit , I saw some maintenance people fixing up a board in the opposite room. I aked what was it. They told they were fixing the name board of the new doctor who would be joining on that day as a consultant in Nephrology.......... that is ....for the first time I was hearing that some one was joining the unit where I was working from 1998 , and that too on the day of his joinig and from a person who fixes the board? ....To be continued ( I am sure it is not to blame or hurt... really now I enjoy those moments..... )

Down the memory lane of Shastha ......Let us begin
I hope it may inspire some new persons, doctors or others who start theor own business.
The unit was started with 3 Dialysis Machines in the year 2009 in my house at Gomathipuram, 6 th street (Even after converting it into hospital, later it again beame my house due to more of emotional events there). Till november of that yaer we have some difficulties because it looked small and loke a house still. But the hard work of technicians, our expertise in dialysis quality and my own way of approaching the diesase with all positive note made a difference. Then new people entered.
They made a differnce and they carried the good name of it and had infact motivated me. The real Land mark event happened in February 2010 (with in 3 months from November 2009) , the new unit in first floor started its function with 10 more dialysis units. It was quite surprising that with in 3 to 4 months we could develop so mch and entered into the new complex in first floor. The Consultaion room in the corner of the first floor ws a real temple where all the auspicious things happen. Yes. Witha new Rope of Hope We atrted to grow everyday. It was a golden period of Shatha which began in feb 2010..............To be continued
The water treatment palnt in the terrace is the most impotant area for dialysis as purity of water ensures long life. I paid special attention for it. In fact It was the area I had an Srivilliputhur Aandal Photo which was the precious gift given to me by some one, from Avaniyapuram or air port area. She adorned the whole area with her grace , kindness.......
Usually we dont allow anyone to the water treatment area but who visited there knew the sanctity of it...

He started for his college and kissed me. I rather refused and tied my hands back and kept my face long. I told I would let him go only when he gave me the aeroplane . He refused telling that it was a rare one which mimicked a real flight in colur, lights sound and also rises up a little from the floor. I was so adamant telling that i would not allow him to college and cried. He finally gave it to me and went. The whole day it was a fun. I closed all windows, door and made the room dark and played with the toy for the whole day. The happiness was so huge I kept thinking and thanking him.When he entered home I hugged him and was giving double the number of kisses which I refused in the morning. It was not the age to see the expressions of his eyes but know i could recollect how much he would have been happy by my touch. But he was not of the type of father to hug ,touch and express happiness usually.
Just I have to jump forward. When I became the doctor whwnever I came home ,he asked many times a day to check pulse and BP. He insisted to check pulse till the end any number f times I saw him. During one such chec up with a glaring in his eyes he mentioned that he loved my touch when i check him. Now I date back how much my hug would have pleased him then. When I talk about his eyes looking at me in College crowd, hostel and in bus stands and railway stations while sending off the feeling of sepeartion in it could not be described. With greatest and deep pain I remeber ,before getting shifted to Corona ICU in 2021 July he touched my gloved hand, (MIght have felt that he could not feel my skin ) witha sort of fear and sepeartion and ome other unexplained anguish in eys he asked me "'Appauku sariagumapaa"... I did not have an answer then, but I want to shout now" you will be alright appa....

This 2023 we are committed to make Our ICU services to the full extent... The common observation is that the Initial huge amount incurred makes quite a few young individuals with CKD and uremic complications to withdraw from treatment in middle and loss of life... The cost of Shastha ICU will be one third of that and will give a chance for many to complete the treatment and a chance to live...
