Dr. VP Sood- A Legend

2012-03-05T23:01:00.001-08:00

It is difficult to believe that the man who initiated All India Rhinology society is no more. He was the single most important person to popularize Rhinoplasty in India. He will always be remembered as Father of Indian Rhinoplasties.

Being associated with him for last seven years , I wish to honor him with the title 'MASTER OF CARTILAGES'. He was fine sculpture artist of upper and lower lateral cartilages. He was strong supporter of closed rhinoplasty techniques and He used to do all extensive cases under local anesthesia, which is again an art. His presence in operation theater was good enough to make all things fall in place.

So much confidence he generated among patients that there are generations of families which he had operated. His hands and luck were God gifted. He was a very religious person.

His Rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery courses were extremely popular in India and abroad and he conducted such courses for 38 years!

His book on Rhinoplasty remained popular for beginners. I realized it`s importance once I assisted him during surgeries. The book was sheer outcome of his vast experience.

He had been president of association of otorhinolaryngologists of India and All India Rhinology society.

He was a true fighter in personal life also. He fought his terminal illness with dignity and grace. He was active in his work till last month. Death is immortal but the way he braved his illness should be lesson for others.
The greatest concern now for me goes to Mrs Sood who was the force behind this man. I pray God to give her strength and the family to overcome his absence.

May God rest his soul in peace.

RHINOCON 2011, GANGTOK

Dear Friends,

“I consider it important, indeed urgently necessary, for intellectual workers to get together, both to polish their own knowledge and, also, generally speaking, to enhance their potential by knowing others.”

It was pleasure attending the All India Rhinology Society at Udaipur. I got to know so many people who are doing great job in Rhinology. Added was a calming beautiful city away from routine OPDs and OTs.

This time, the AIRS conference is scheduled at Gangtok, which you know, is known for its pleasant weather and rich beauty. There will be ideal mix of sharing knowledge and caring yourself in a cozy atmosphere, perhaps, attending with your family members also.

The AIRS blog is gaining popularity slowly. But without your contribution, it is nothing. Please feel free to write your observation or work, post any good or bad experience, any photograph or video. Review of any new book, product or biography of leader in Rhinology is welcome.

With this, I wish all of you a happy festive season and new year ahead.

Dr. Ajay Jain

Message from the President, AIRS

2010-11-06T06:01:00.000-07:00

Dear members,

I express my sincere thanks and sense of gratitude for electing me as president-All India Rhinology society. I will try my best to maintain & enhanceprestige of All India Rhinology society laid down by founders Dr. Sood , Dr.Saharia and many more.

Last month we have enjoyed wonderful conference in Udaipur under leadership of organizing Chairman Prof. A.K.Gupta; it was an over-saturating feast of academic activities with wonderful cultural & historical tour as extra-bonanzas. I congratulate Prof. A.K.Gupta for grand success of conference and award winner of P.G. Quiz, P.G. Award, Senior consultant award.

Our AIRS has gone a long way in short span of time. We have started many orations, panel discussion, poster sessions. Our journal was started in 2008 by founder editor Prof.P.S.Saharia, but in such short span it has been accredited and indexed in many national and international forums. This credit goes to Prof. Ashok Gupta of P.G.I. Chandigarh for his overwhelming efforts.We are in process to start fellowship in Rhinology as soon as possible

In spite of all these achievements our total number of membership are less, so I will request our all E.N.T colleagues to join us becoming member of All India Rhinology society. We are sending format of membership with the news bulletin which can be photocopied and send to our Secretary on his address along with bank draft of Rs.2500/-.

We have also decided that deciding next venue of national conference preference will be given to that state where maximum new membership has been registered in this session. So it will be the important criteria along with other considerations.

Our next venue of conference is Gangtok, a beautiful hill station of north east during peak season of hill station 28th-29th April 2011.I request all my fraternity members to meet us in Gangtok to make it grand success .

The festival season is at its peak. Each family would be in the midst of the festivities and I extend my sincere wishes to all for a very joyous time in the festival season starting from Dussera, Deepawali, Eid and going on
to Christmas.

At last I welcome good suggestion and co-operation from all of you for uplifting A.I.R.S.

Warm greeting for coming festive season.

Long Live A.I.R.S.

Thanks
