Nurses, angels on earth ...
My dad had bypass surgery on Monday (9th). Its been a difficult last few days for our family, especially having to see my dynamic, oh-so-active father lying in the Intensive Care Unit, unable to move, with a respirator and food tube. And my sister in Japan must have been extremely concerned and frustrated at the distance, though we tried to update her regularly.
He is much better now and has been moved to a regular hospital room from the ICU. My mother is with him now, and all of us are relieved that he is doing well.
He had his surgery at the Madras Medical Mission (MMM), the premier heart care facility in South India. It was founded by the dynamic Dr. Cherian, the world's authority on neonatal heart surgeries.
I thought that the MMM was a model of efficiency, and especially striking was the superlative quality of the nurses. Knowledgeable, cheerful, attentive, active, kind, polite, gracious - I was stunned at the quality of nursing care.
I now rank nurses as the noblest people on Earth, for their absolutely invaluable service, at compensation levels far, far below that of doctors (Especially in India).
God bless nurses.

Vel,
Here's wishing your dad a very speedy recovery.
Hi,
Been a regular reader of your blog.
Wishing Ur father a speedy recovery.
I totally agree with your previous post on Security checks & Purchasing Price Parity .
Hope the airlines people take their duty seriously. I did read in the 9/11 report that airlines in the US have been given free hand in this matter. They can have an extra layer of security on top of the government security.
They also can run background checks in passengers again at the gate even though they check @ the ticket counter.
Anyway keep blogging. All the best with your ventures.
Ammu,
Wish your dad a sppedy recovery. I am sure he will be back in action in a week.

Reg. the comment abt the MMM nursing care, I fully agreee with you. It was a very caring and comforting act by the doctors and nurses at MMM as my father also had a By-pass surgery there recently. By Gods grace he is doing fine now.
