Sir, can I talk to you for a minute?
Dear Sameer and Shyam, Shayam: Thanks for your post and the sentiments you have expressed there. Sameer - Nice to hear from you.The "Art of Medicine" can be taught only to an extent, it is learnt with age and experience and that may seem like philosophy. An ideal man would live a life where people will say "He showed that philosophy can be lived" Ravi.

Dear Hiten ans Sunil, Thanks you for your kind words. Great teachers are everywhere. Ever so often. it is the students who have to inspire their teachers to share. I am truly blessed that for generations, our department has had inspiring and hard working residents who make it a joy to be with them! RR

Dear Dr. Nj, Thanks you for your time for the detailed response to my post. I do not remember the last time my son said a "Thank you" to me for what I did for him "in the line of my duty". I do not remember the last time I said "Thank you" to my parents for what they have done for me. I think when you are that close in the "most close and holy of human relationships" such as the one between the teacher and the taught is - vocalised "Thank yous" are not important. Also, if we look back at our own lives, how may of us have said "Thank you" to our teachers after a lecture?. In western culture it is a culture to smile and say "Thank you" as a matter of routine; perhaps it is not so here. But,. I dare say that it does not really mean lack of gratefulness. Surely, residents e mail me and drop in even without a specific reason. Some of the mails I receive from them are work of art and emotion. One day when I retire, I will post them on my blog. They will move anyone to tears. I think we are ALL bound in this relationship; most students are grateful to their teachers but it only this year that it has struck me that I should visit my school and say thank you to the teachers in the school, to visit the couple of my teachers still in GS and say thank you , where as, cards and flowers keep coming our way from residents on all occasions - the only cards that I preserve.So, dear Dr. NJ, rest assured that your residents are always grateful to you and I wish you great success in all your endevours. Once again thank you for your time. RR

Thank you Keshav fr your thoughtful comments. It is always nice to know that there are many others out there who cherish "giving" RR

Hello Prasanna; At the end of all this, I hope when you leave youtr department you leave something behind in the form of teaching material for others to savour. A small trickle like this will become a roaring ocean before long. RR
