THREE GREATS IN MEDICINE . I am not that lucky to have seen them,been taught by them, but I cherish the imminent greatness of three names in the field of medicine: Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy of Kolkata, Dr. Sheetal Prasad Sinha of Darbhanga and Dr. Barmeshwar Prasad of Ranchi. Today they are legendary figures and the greatest source of motivation and inspiration to me and all others in medical profession. I bow my head to them and feel privileged to do so.

Down the memory lane:
A patient came for consultation in his chamber. History of central chest pain etc suggestive of IHD. While I was holding his medical records in my hand professor was examining him .While still doing auscultation he asked me "it should be inferior MI. What does the ECG says Satish? Astonished me later could learn from him that that there was a cooing mitral regurgitation murmur suggestive of papillary muscle dysfunction. And as papillary muscle is generally supplied by rightt coronary which also supplies inferior surface. Hence inferior MI possibility.
Medicine is a socio economico political relationship amongst the doctor, patient & his attendants. And not only text books of medicine- Davidsons, Harrisons, Cecil loebs, Price, and so on and so forth. It is much beyond.

He has continued to inspire me even

He was the most wonderful teacher
we ever had. He had a rule for every student attending his Clinical Medicine
class, and that was not to take any note during his class. Only listening was
the prerequisite for the class. He used to pull his chair quite close to the
students to talk to them in a very conversational style. Whatever he taught
sounded more like a story about the normal and diseased body than a stereotype
lecture, therefore, he would flow from one system to another quite effortlessly
and provide a "macro" view of the medical science with all the
intricate interconnections flawlessly. Whenever some one brought some new
information pertaining to medicine he would ask that person where he got it
from. He used to say that he had already reached the maximum of his memory
capacity and he had to take out some old info out in order to feed in some new
info. Therefore, he pleaded that no one should clutter his memory with
unverified stuff. We used to hear so many stories about how much
"Harrison" book he covers every day. He still is unforgettable and
incomparable in short.I also remember Avinash Boss working so diligently in
Prof. B. Prasad's Unit. He is, and will always be, reaping the fruits of his
education, there.
I sincerely hope that
"Insatiable Hunger for Power" psyche, which is the pathological basis
of every politician doesn't creep into our professional or personal life, ever.
Last I forget one of Dr B.
Prasad's folk lores which was in currency among the students who were quite
enamored and enchanted with his personality during late 70's. One particular
lore was regarding why he charges his patients highest for a consultation (60
or 65 Rs), which was quite steep during those days. He used to say that if he
charges anything less how can his juniors survive in the field, therefore, he
gave kind of "breathing space" to the fraternity and to him as well,
to find more time to deal with the complicated and unusual cases. If the most
dexterous and intelligent among doctors are inundated with a flood of trivial
cases then that would amount to wastage of a rare and precious resource.

God, Father & my rev.
Professor Dr Barmeshwar Prasad, almost in the same line. Beyond words of comment.

It must be Sept or so of 1981,when we were going through our final mbbs exam.so I was not. Having direct contact with him, but certainly was under his aura as the greatest teacher,stories floating in Rmch air.iwas again lucky to be close to avinash boss enjoying several tips of clinical practice, which has shaped my present clinics.
Sudhir Sinha
Boss I was blessed to work as an intern for 1 month. What a clinician. par excellence. All the gems of medicine were there in our time.May god give him peace
Sayeed Akhtar
When I was ACO , five patients expired in the night in Unit A of Prof B. Prasad. I was in the round . Imagine How our great Prof had reacted in the round nex day." Who was ACO ? Don,t worry it happens sometimes" ! I never forget words which was antithesis of my expectation. Surely, he was the best teacher of Medicine. We were lucky to be part of legend.
Satchidanand Sinha
Although my association with him was passing,I was his intern for 3 months two vivid memories stand out which I must share in some detail. The first one occurred when I was an intern in the gynecology department. The Professor of gynae was doing some major surgery and we interns were standing at the back not particularly aware of what was going on. But we could sense there was something wrong. Soon the professor asked her resident to call somebody who could help her out.To our utter surprise it was Barmeshwar Babu who walked in and donning gown and gloves successfully concluded the surgery. The other memory is of a National workshop on Renal Failure at the HEC hospital under the chairmanship of Dr Chugh from Chandigarh.The person who was supposed to speak on The Pathology of Renal failure failed to turn up. Barmeshwar Babu who was sitting in the audience was persuaded to speak in his place After his lecture all that a dumbfounded Dr.Chugh could say was that he found it difficult to believe that an unprepared person could give as scholarly a lecture as that. That was Barmeshwar Babu
Ramji Agarwal
He was a great physician,an excellent teacher.We, his students love him,worship him.He had MI while he was getting down from the library where we had our last medicine theory paper.

Genius of a man. Unfortunate that we could not spend more time with him due to circumstances and otherwise.
