drlastbencher

"the man on last bench 'stand up 'and answer the question!"

i have been fortunate to have always shared the golden benches at the back in my school and college days.
the day used to be routine for me when dr deshmukh come in the class room and gave me a bashing for no reason at all. i used to get spanking almost every day. from a docile young lad i was transformed into a unforgiving young man with a vision in my eyes and and a dream to succeed and to prove to myself that i can be a contestant for the coveted post of monitor too. i became a monitor in class 9th and stood third in first semester.everyone was suprised. the gentle manipulation by thosar sir and with determination i slowly climbed the ladder and was ready for the story that was written for me to play in this world. sharing last bench was a blessing in disguise as the so called rowdy group used to listen to me as their champion and would always push me for any undertaking for the class. this gave me renewed courage and i catapulted ahead and fulfilled my dream of visiting as many towns as possible through NCC.

minimally invasive cardiac surgery

minimally invasive cardiac surgery is the recent break through in the approach to solving problems of heart.the operation is the same but the approach is different. we no longer have to cut the bone from the midline and leave a big scar in the process which can be distressing as traumatic for the patient.the minimally invasive cardiac suirgery is the cosmetic ,smaller scar and with precision. all the surgical procedures right from mitral valve repair,mitral valve replacement ,aortic valve repair,aortic valve replacement and cabg and atrial septum defect closure,tricuspid valve closure can be approach through this incision alone.patient selection play s a vital role for making the use of this technique possible.this new technique can be used in redo cases also with some wonderful results.there have been schools of thought about the incidence of post operative pain relief for this typre of surgery but given the latest medications available and also the smaller incisions have led to this technique being taken up in a big way.minimally invasive cardiac surgery is the future.
