4 types of learning
#MedicalEducation now teaches about learning from teachers,self directed learning,peer learning & lifelong learning.This has been explained beautifully in this shloka long ago

आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते पादं शिष्यः स्वमेधया ।
सब्रह्मचारिभ्यः पादं पादं कालक्रमेण च ॥
One fourth from the teacher, one fourth from own intelligence,
One fourth from classmates, and one fourth only with time...

Not necessarily that one fourth should come from each of these, but is based on any individual’s capacity to absorb from each of these sources
1.Teacher : it’s a two way traffic here. The best of the teacher might not be successful if the student is not ready.The teacher can guide you , but you need the student to work on themselves, take help of their peers & nurture everything as you mature in time
2. The Self : your ability to make yourself the best version with hard work n Practice in whatever field is crucial here

3. The Peers : Draw nutrients from good people around you . Self learning coupled with group learning will expose you to new ideas and thoughts.
It helps you to discover more of your own strengths n weaknesses

4. Life long learning (Time ) : You use your experience , maturity and patience to grow with time & also take others along with you. Never close your mind n heart to learn new things or correct old mistakes
The source of above shloka/ subhashitha is not known accurately. Some sources trace it to Mahabharata. However, I heard this today in a speech by our Vice Chancellor & was inspired by it n wanted to share it 🙂🙏🏼

#SundayMusings
Parents left to Bangalore back today .. It’s a heavy heart for all . Few thoughts on parents in their old age , especially when you meet them after almost an year

Dad has definitely slowed down compared to Mom.. His walking, his reflexes etc.
I realised how thin our patience is with elderly people. It took me couple of days to adjust myself to their speed & not become impatient , especially when we travelled out. We need to slow down for them n remember our own kids when they were tiny. Parents become kids again
The most striking was Dad’s struggle with his denture while eating. Got it changed here & the joy of chewing food without pain was immense . Lesson to be learnt is look after your teeth well into your old age & of course, your general health as well,to the maximum extent possible

It was 2.45 pm today when we finished lunch at Kamath restaurant at Murudeshwar on our way back from Goa. I had a splitting headache & badly needed a coffee. The waiter said no coffee at that hour. I came to pay the bill n saw this old man at the cash counter sipping coffee
I just smiled n told him I was refused coffee n there he was having it . He gave a smile back n said they have just put the fresh decoction into the filter n it will take some time . I went to wash my hands n then returned to pay the bill.
I walked out after paying n kinda judging the old man for the privilege he had for his coffee ! I was getting into the car when the waiter came out n called me. I thought I had forgotten something but as I went in,the old man asked me to take a seat & brought me a cup of coffee ! Image

#VIPsyndrome: A syndrome in medical field where something goes wrong somehow with "VIP" patients..

I am sure many of us have come across this phenomenon where some sort of complication of varying degree happens in patients who come with that tag /1
These can be of various categories
1. Real VIPs in your practice ( mostly hospital staff/celebrities/politicians)
2. Those who come with a heavy recommendation
3.Those who are closely known to you ( family/friends)
4. Medical tourism related /2
These categories behave in various ways
1. Total trust in you,ask relevant doubts,not interfere in your decisions
2.Patient trusts you but family/friends have lot of doubts & interfere in everything
3.Irritating right from beginning ,mistrust ,high handedness at you n staff /3

My perspectives on our #Indian #Postgraduate #education

Once upon a time was an era of multiple entrance exams, quota systems, paper leaks,obnoxious capitation fee etc which have been largely controlled with more transparent systems now. /1
I won’t deny that they don’t exist in their own mutant ways even now. But It’s much better than two decades ago.
Coming to the students per se, we know that internship has almost become a formality now except in few colleges./2
Very few institutions implement it well or, if there is a compulsion of manpower shortage, then interns are forced to work . Otherwise I know many colleges allow them to sign off n go for their PG prep . The fall out of this is seen when they join the post graduation. /3
