Dear Dr Kalantri,

It is a very sad news about Dr Chaturvedi's demise. Kindly extend my

heartfelt condolences to Dr Mrs Chaturvedi and her family. I am reminded

of all the good old days of med school and how sir used to take special

interest in his students be it whichever batch. God bless his soul and

give courage to his family to cope with this sorrow.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It was the inevitable but still one feels the loss on hearing the sad news of

the demise of a Teacher so respected and admired for his total methodical

approach. More so that MGIMS has undoubtedly lost one of its star who was

associated with the students at various levels, be it as the Head of ENT or

Chief of Student Association or that of the library.

We all wish that his soul rest in peace and extend our deepfelt condolences to

the bereaved family.

Dear Dr.Kalantri,

It was very terrible news to hear from MGIMS,about the

passing away of Prof Dr.Chaturvedi.I had only a week

ago,came to know of his grave illness,and as,I read ur

mail,my mind raced back 14years ago,when I for the

first time had met him in his OPD in capacity as a

magazine secretary,and he as it's editor.Togather in

that one year, he took out valuable time to refine the

magazine contents and was always ready to give his

advice,in making that issue a best one.Although ENT as

a subject in final MBBs curriculum,does not carry

weightage,but his sheer style of teaching made

learning the subject a great pleasure.I still remember

his opening sentence,when he was starting the topic on

nose'IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE NOSE,CLEOPTRA WOULD

NOT HAVE WRITTEN HISTORY " .Indeed,the institute has

lost a great man,and as they say,when ur teacher

dies,a bit of you also dies,and that's what we feel

today,and we join the MGIMS family in expressing our

heartfelt condolence to his family.May his soul restin

peace.

Dear Sir,

It is a very sad moment for all of us.I had a very long assosiation with

Sir as a student and staff at MGIMS. It is very heart breaking, and is very

hard to accept the fact that he is not with us anymore. Both me and my

Respected teacher.

May God give strength to madam and Amit,Raju and all of us to bear the

very sad loss.

Dr VN Chaturvedi passes away

Dr VN Chaturvedi passes away

It is with a heavy heart that I wish to inform that Dr VN Chaturvedi,

Professor and Head, department of ENT of our institute passed away today

morning at 6:45 am.

He was 60.

Dr Chaturvedi was found to have a lung cancer exactly a year ago - last

January-when he underwent evaluation for his haemorrhagic pleural effusion.

He decided to fight out his cancer and was treated with chemotherapy and

radiotherapy.

He seemed to be doing well, and began to take an active part in

administration. The trauma center right now under construction was his dream

child and he and was fully involved with the construction, and design, of

the trauma center, His staff would remember him spending long hours in his

chair making plans how to equip the center.

In November the tumor cells started spreading far and wide. The repeat scan

showed that the cancer cells had returned once again. By December the tumor

had spread to his peritoneum and fluid started accumulating in his

peritoneal cavity. The tumor cells also spread to his brain causing a few

seizures.

Dr Chaturvedi had decided not to get admitted o the hospital and braved the

discomforts of cancer at home .

He passed away peacefully at home, in full dignity. As per his wish, he was

not offered resuscitation or advanced life support.

The institute has lost a brilliant teacher, an outstanding orator, an able

administrator, a skilled surgeon, and a humane caregiver. Library shall miss

a genuine book lover and the institute shall always cherish the memories of

a person who seldom minced words, and was always willing to stick his neck

out and take a stand.

Dr Chaturvedi leaves behind his wife (Dr Pushpa Chaturvedi, Head Deptt of

Paediatrics) his sons (Amit 1989, Rajiv 1992 batch) and daughters in-law

(Sona, 1990 batch and Deepti 1992 batch)

May his soul rest in peace.
