Awarded THE BEST ENT SURGEON in BANGALORE

Posted via email from drkumaresh's posterous

Awarded "The Best ENT Surgeon" in Bangalore

2011-12-08T08:35:00.001+05:30

It was really a surprise when I came to know that I was nominated for the Best ENT surgeon award given by the Brand Academy
Initially I was very skeptical as I have been receiving requests for award nominations and knew they were all fad.

Then I started doing my research and was convinced that these guys are not giving awards for money and they mean business.

I need to thank my patients for suggesting my name under the Top Doctors category and it is truly satisfying and gratifying to know that I was the only ENT surgeon to get this unique honor.

http://www.pr-inside.com/big-brands-win-at-brands-academy-r2883360.htm

The letter as received:

Dear Sir,

Greetings from the BIG Brands Research team!
We would like to extend our heartiest congratulations to you for the excellent response you services have garnered from the respondents of the opinion survey conducted by our team for Service Excellence Awards 2011. We would like to confirm that you are the front runner for an award as mentioned in the attached confirmation letter.

You will be pleased to know that all the award winners will share the limelight with some of the leading service providers from all across India, who will all be receiving Service Excellence Awards in different categories in the ceremony scheduled to be conducted in Bangalore in a 5 Star hotel on October 29, 2011. The winners will be felicitated by Mr. Shashi Tharoor at this gala ceremony and the Who's Who from the service industries in India will be participating in this event...

The only sad part was that I was not able to receive the award in person since I was recovering from my surgery and my father was nominated to receive the same.

I am happy that I have another Feather in my Cap...

Misuse of Cochlear Implants - The Inside Story – "Kickbacks"

2011-09-15T14:56:00.001+05:30

Of late there seems to be more controversy and misuse of Cochlear Implants than its benefits - Well known and extremely skilled surgeons across the country are being denied the Implant by the companies - Reason - Monopoly and Kickbacks. One implant company was already penalized in the US for the same reason.

It is a Paradox that an association was formed (CIGI)

claiming to spread the knowledge of Cochlear Implantation and prevent its misuse, but it is members of the same group who have formed a very close secret group who are arm twisting the companies and making them deny implants and thereby creating a Monopoly indirectly increasing the cost and in turn higher Benefits (read Kickbacks). It also seems to be the only association where member list is not available even to its members!!! Why this secrecy is a reason well known to the ENT community - since even members of the group have been denied implants. It was then members of the association started exposing this corruption and uncovering the Real reasons for implant denial and exposed the same to the ENT community. Though the reasons for denial of implants is claimed to be logistics - ground reality going by the postings in Facebook seem to be throwing a different light altogether. This is like 2G scam of Medicine.

Govt pays an amount of Rs.5 Lakh per implant. But our Elite CI surgeons ask the children to go in for Rs.10 lakh implant (stating that this will help them to hear better), the poor have to raise the money by selling their land and also requesting Philanthropy. Imagine how much one has to toil to get this amount. Now with the Economy not looking bright this seems to be the only viable business. How many lives can be saved if this was used for life saving procedures.

Few Surgeons have received Lakhs as "ADVANCE" (Read Kickbacks) not taking into account the fully paid foreign trips with family (shameful) and some have also received money for clinics/hospitals/luxury cars etc., Only a handful whom I know personally pass the benefits to the patient, others including some very well known names enjoy this and prevent others in their state from undertaking the procedure to increase their profits. If this was not enough their source of referral are also very well taken care of by way of lodging in 5 star hotels with drinks and What Not.

Some have even taken dealership of the implants and thereby their profits increase much more. Also some surgeons depend on this Kickback money alone shamefully for their survival.

How many of you toil day and night, work under pressure and have to neglect family to earn a decent living and make ends meet? and here we have "Elite Surgeons" who make huge amounts of money as "Benefits" for just 3 hours and also create an impression that it is the Panacea for deafness and Implant Children who will not benefit from the implant.
Even the rehabilitation is done in secrecy and in some places by their family members - Whether they are properly trained is a big question mark. This avoids the misdeeds to be exposed.

This also goes against the dreams and wishes of our former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, who wanted an Implant to be manufactured in India for less than 1 lakh, probably he had foreseen the misuse and Kickbacks involved. But then the hold of CI surgeons is so strong that this may not happen in near future and his dream will most likely remain as a dream only.

Worst part most of these unethical surgeons have formed NGO's where the kickbacks are pumped in!!!

It is sad that at one place we have Anna fighting for accountability and at the other end there is secrecy and misuse of these devices for personal Benefits by few Greedy, unethical specialists.
Join hands so that this marvelous device is not misused for personal gains.

Hi Dr. Kumaresh,

Thanks so much for your consideration and compassion! The article attached, which I recently completed, it is about the importance of cancer support groups among cancer patients and their families. People need to learn more about these groups because they are an important coping mechanism especially people who have lung cancer or lung based cancers. I tailored this article for your website and have linked to reputable sources where your visitors can get more information about these groups. Please let me know if you decide to post the article so I can shout it out to my readers and followers in order to get more traffic to your website!

Thanks again for your help and all you do to make a difference!

Hi Kumaresh,

I stumbled across your blog and noticed the great content on your site. I am wondering if you allow guest posts because I recently have been researching and writing about how beneficial cancer support networks and also staying physically fit is to people going through treatments, in remission, and even family members of cancer patients. I believe an article on one of those two topics would mesh with your blog very well and also benefit your readers tremendously. This is an important message to get out there so please let me know if you would be interested in seeing it and sharing it with your readers.

Thank you for all you do in making a difference,

God is Missing - Read and Laugh

2011-08-22T19:00:00.001+05:30

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous.

They are always getting into trouble and their parents know if any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

The mother sent the 8 year old in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon. The preacher, a huge man with a deep booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly, "Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.
So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone, "Where is God?! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed, "WHERE is GOD?!"

The boy screamed & bolted from the room, ran directly home & dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "What happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time!" "GOD is missing, and they think WE did it!"

Interesting interview with the head of the royal family of Travancore --

2011-07-21T17:29:00.001+05:30

'The riches belong to nobody, certainly not to our family'

http://www.hindustantimes.com/The-riches-belong-to-nobody-certainly-not-to-our-family/H1-Article1-719270.aspx

Padma Rao Sudarji, Hindustan Times
July 09, 2011

The head of a former royal family renounced any personal claim to billions of dollars' worth of ancient treasure discovered in a temple in Thiruvanantharam, the kingdom his ancestors once ruled. Excerpts of an interview with Uthradam Thirunal Marthanda Verma, the former King of Tranvancore by Padma Rao Sudarji.

PRS: What is your family's connection with the Padmanabhaswamy temple?

VARMA: We are the Cheras, one of the four erstwhile royal families of South India and have a long and dynastic family tree. By 1750 Travancore had become rich and big. So my ancestor, the then king, made a unique spiritual and historical contribution. He decided to surrender all his riches to the temple - Padmanabhaswamy is also our family deity. He said our family would look after that wealth, the temple and the kingdom forever. But he did not want the ego that comes with possessing it. He was influenced by Emperor Ashoka's catharsis in the killing fields of Kalinga. So he declared our family to be Padmanabha's 'dasas', devotees. A servant can resign his job, but a dasa can do so only when he dies.

PRS: You are one of the wealthiest families in India and yet, you live in a spartan way, unlike many other ex-royals. Why?

VARMA: I have to go back a bit in time, to explain why. Everybody thinks that we Indians first rose against British colonial rule in 1857. Wrong. In 1741, Travancore was the only Asian power to defeat the Dutch when they arrived here. After the battle, all the Dutch soldiers kneeled before my ancestors. One Dutchman, Benedictus Eustachius, even joined our army. We called him the Great Kapitan.

Later, I learned that he was [US president] Franklin Roosevelt's
ancestor when the latter's grandson came to look at our historical
records. Then in 1839, almost two decades before the mutiny, we rose against the British.

Our punishment was severe. They disbanded our police and army of 50,000, transferred our capital to Kollam, dumped two British
regiments on us, and ordered us to pay for their upkeep. Thomas Munroe named himself Diwan of Travancore. When our spirit still did not flag, they brought in missionaries. But we did not get gobbled up by Western thought. We travel abroad occasionally, but it has not affected or changed our simple way of life. Why am I telling you this? So that you get an idea of how much our life has revolved around our faith, despite so many outside influences and kept us going.

PRS: How do you feel about what is happening around the temple right now - its cellars being opened up, your donations being discussed around the world, the criticism, the furore?

VARMA: Sorry, I cannot comment on what is happening there - the matter is sub-judice. But this much I will say. I have no problem with the inventory and additional security being provided by the state to the temple. But please don't remove those objects from the temple. They belong to nobody, certainly not to our family. They belong to god and our law permits that. All these debates swirling around the riches is unfortunate. That's all I can say - I have to listen to my doctor, lawyer and auditor.

Our family has been donating objects to the temple for centuries. As chief patron of the temple, I go there every day. If I miss a day, I am fined Rs 166.35 - an old Travancore tradition.

PRS: But you cannot deny that such wealth could be put to better use for the poor.

VARMA: We Indians are more educated now. But this reaction to
donations inside a temple is anything but progressive. We are slowly losing our Indian identity. Money has become everything. But I am not surprised. I would rather be philosophical than disillusioned because I can't change the world.

PRS: Then there is the rationalist argument that this is blind faith.

VARMA: Please think of England's Henry VIII in the late 1500s. He had two passions. Wives and money. So he pillaged churches. Finally, he ran into a problem because he wanted a divorce from Catherine of Aragon. The church refused, because she was a zealous Spanish Catholic. His cardinal advised him to invent his own church. So he did that - just to get a divorce. Is that rational?
It is rather difficult to explain our faith to the new world where
people have none anymore. When selfishness grows, everything you do seems right, and everything others do seems wrong. It's all about what do I get, not about what do I do. I like the memory of my trip to a game reserve South Africa. After seeing many wild animals, I asked the guide which was the most rapacious and fearsome. He showed me a mirror.

PRS: What is your source of income? What does your family live off ?

VARMA: We have travel and hotel businesses. I am chairman of a former British company that exports various items from Kerala - but no, not pepper to Buckingham Palace, as reported. We also run seven trusts. We spend R5-8 lakh a year on education, health and housing for the poor. We pay good salaries. And the family itself contributes money
every month. No government has acknowledged our work but that is all right. We do it because we want to do it.

PRS: Gold statues studded with rubies and diamonds, saphhires, gold coins of the Napoleonic era and the East India Company. Is all that true?

VARMA: I have never been inside those cellars. Our philosophy has always been not to look at such objects and get tempted. But of course I know what is inside them.

PRS: Are the younger members of your family angrier than you about the heated public debate?

VARMA: I am the most hot-blooded in this family but on this matter, we all feel the same. I was a soldier - a colonel for 15 years in the Madras Regiment. I would like to ask those criticizing us for donating these objects: why are they bothered about what someone else has done? What are they doing in the name of faith themselves ? Why the hot gossip over a donation to God?

PRS: At 90, you don't even use a walking stick. What is your daily routine ?

VARMA: We have all been brought up very strictly and frugally. My day starts at 4 am with yoga. I only drink milk, I am a vegetarian and a teetotaler. I read the Vedas everyday. I go the temple for a ten-minute private audience with the deity every morning. After that, I indulge in one of my hobbies - "media surgery." I read the newspapers and clip articles over breakfast. I have a collection of the past 30 years.

I will give those to the Trust because my children may not be
interested. People come to meet me, they invite me to inaugurate
functions. I speak extempore. I go from vertical to horizontal for
about 20 minutes in the afternoon. I am in bed by 945. I have always slept well. Since there is nothing on my conscience, sleep comes swiftly.

PRS: Are you now thinking of insuring those treasures, now that the whole world is talking about them, or are they already insured ?

VARMA: (laughs) I am least worried that they will be stolen. If that happens, then it was the Lord's will.

PRS: Among your ancestors were famous Carnatic musician Swati Thirunal and painter Raja Ravi Varma. What are your passions?

VARMA: Those two ancestors gave music and art divinity and humanity respectively. That continues. I love art. I once saw a piece of exquisite china in Venice. It was a girl on a swing with the sand looking worn just where her feet touched the ground each time. It cost 100 pounds, I could only afford 40, as foreign exchange was limited those days. So I went away. The dealer called me back and gave it to me. He said he could tell that I was not one of those who ordered 200 pieces of one kind, that I valued minute details.

PRS: Kerala has been a Communist bastion for more than 50 years. Don't you find it peculiar that people here still flurry around you, they respect you, they still call you Your Highness.

VARMA: Yes, that is quite amazing because I am a simple man, I don't expect it at all. At religious gatherings in Haridwar where one of my two gurus lives, I always sit in the last row and am always dressed like this - mundu and bush-shirt. People who don't know me come looking for the Raja of the South. When I raise my hand, they don't believe me.

PRS: How wealthy is your family, compared to the other - and
internationally more famous - royals of Rajasthan and elsewhere?

VARMA: That is a mere technicality and has never been relevant to me. But I'll tell you a story which will give you an idea. There used to be a British gun salute for the princely states of India: 21, the highest for the richest ruler, 11 for the poorest. When Tranvancore refused to contribute soldiers to the British Army in World War I, ours slipped from 21 to 19.

PRS: Who is your heir?

VARMA: We have a matriarchal system of inheritance. I have a daughter and a son but it is my sister's son who will be king after me. I remember a European lady visiting us. I explained this complicated law of succession to her. When she went back, she told her friends that she had not understood a word, but only knew that whatever it was, it was good for women. Kerala is slowly turning patriarchal again. That is not good. Overall in our country, we treat women as second-class citizens. When you look at a man, you are looking at a human being, when you look at a woman, you are looking at a family.

PRS: What is the feeling you get, when you spend those ten minutes at the Padmanabha shrine ? The daily communion between ruler and master, as you put it ?

VARMA: Gooseflesh. Everything is surrendered. It is a great, elating feeling. My hair stands on end with joy. Each and every time.

Notice from Praveen Sood (Additional Commissioner for Traffic,) Must Read

2011-03-23T21:37:00.001+05:30

Take a printout of this and keep it in your car's glove compartment. May come handy.

Please read on.
"From now onwards, the Traffic Police cannot catch a motorist just to examine the driving license or vehicle documents. They can catch you only if you have violated any traffic laws or if you are driving drunk. Remember that when caught for traffic violation, the fine you pay must be limited to the violation. In other words, the police can't bloat the bill saying that you have no insurance cover or emission certificate, etc.
Many motorists do not know this. According to the law, no policeman can slap a penalty on you just because you have no insurance or emission certificate. If you have not purchased insurance cover for your vehicle, then the police officer must issue a notice, not impose penalty. You must be given 15 days' time to purchase insurance cover and one week for obtaining the emission certificate. Days later, meet the sub-inspector at his station with the insurance cover or emission certificate, so that he will annul the charge at once. Police can fine you only if you fail to produce these documents within the stipulated period.
If your vehicle is brand new, then you need not bother about obtaining the emission certificate for one full year. In response to a question as to why policemen fine people instantly without giving them time to obtain insurance cover or emission certificate, Additional Commissioner for Traffic Praveen Sood said,
"Yes, it is a mistake. People must force policemen to issue notice or complain to me at least the following day.” The best way to teach the police a lesson is by filing a written complaint with their higher officials and, a week later, using the Right to Information Act (RTI) to know the action taken against them. Remember, any question or application filed under RTI cannot be ignored and no official is bold enough to ignore the RTI Act."

What is hard to break ? Respect others opinion

2011-03-12T15:44:00.001+05:30

WHAT is it that is hard to break ?
Diamonds are hard to find, but not hard to Break.
What is the hardest thing to break then?
The answer is: HABIT!
If you break the H, you still have A BIT.
If you break the A, you still have BIT.
If you break the B, you still have IT!
Hey, after you break the T in IT, there is still the I.
And that (I) is the root cause of all the problems. Isn’t it right?!
Now you know why HABIT is so hard to break….
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You think it is a frog and I think it is a horse!
Wait for a while .........

Moral: We have to respect each other's opinion and view; as you can see it clearly in the above picture.
We just need to wait and listen actively to others' point of view!

Hair Cut

2011-03-01T07:47:00.001+05:30

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you , I'm  doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop. The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Then a Member of Parliament came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Member of Parliament was very happy and left the shop. The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen other Members of Parliament lined up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS
  NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN
   AND
FOR THE SAME REASON!

Until a child tells you what they are thinking, we can't even begin to imagine how their mind is working....
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything...tutors, mentors,
flash cards, special learning centers.
In short, everything they could think of to help his math.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello.  Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card.. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math.   She could no longer hold her curiosity.. She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no.. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

Once SONIA GANDHI, L.K. Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were
travelling in an autorickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of
them died.
Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death.
He asks Mrs GANDHI and Advani to go to HEAVEN.
But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.
Laloo is not at all happy with this decision.
He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All the three of
them had served the public. Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public
positions, etc.
Then why the differential treatment?
He felt that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before
a decision is made; and should not be just based on opinion or pre-conceived
notions.
Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English
test.
Mrs GANDHI is asked to spell " INDIA " and she does it correctly.
Advani is asked to spell " ENGLAND " and he too passes.
It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell " CZECHOSLOVAKIA ".
Laloo protests that he doesn't know English.
He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus
forced to fail with false intent.
Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance
assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal
platform for all three).
Mrs GANDHI is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW". She writes it easily and
passes.
Advani is asked to write "BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN". He too passes.
Laloo is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR....."
Tough one. He fails again.
Laloo is extremely unhappy.
Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't),he now
requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history
Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not take
any more tests.
Mrs GANDHI is asked: "When did India get Independence ?". She replied "1947" and
passed.
Advani is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?".
He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 100,000 or 200,000
or 300,000.
Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
It's Laloo's turn now.
'
'
'
Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died
in the struggle.
Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.
Moral of the story: IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPE..... :-
