My surgical Blog & More

The eyes cannot see what the mind doesnt know. Fortunately for the modern age surgeons, the mind knows a lot or maybe we like to think that way. Surgery or as a matter of fact MEDICINE is a dynamic field, things are evolving every day.The principles we follow today may become irrelevant 5-10 years hence. New innovative ideas and enormous amount of research work may lead us to an era where we are able to offer surgeries with minimal morbidity and mortality. Robotic surgery and Tele conferencing surgeries are already being carried out. Maybe in a few years time surgeons would operate sitting in a console room controling Robots doing the actual work. Infact surgeries are being done using MRI to give real time information about the blood vesses and anatomic stuctures.

All this development comes at a price ofcourse, the scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries have toiled hard and some even gave their lives for their passion and work.

Marie Sk?odowska Curie (famously known as Madam Curie) died of aplastic anemia obviously unaware of the hazards of radioactivity she discovered.

In the discovery of Helicobacter Pylori, Marshall swallowed live bacteria to prove their existence and fullfill the Koch’s postulates.

Numerous dedicated doctors and scientists have worked very hard in the best years of their lives to bring medicine to the state it currently is.

But we can not sit back and enjoy the moment, still a lot of research work has to be done, New diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis C , most of the cancers have no cure. New innovations are coming up regularly and I am sure the day is not far when we have cure for the incurable.
