Dear Ashok Sir,

I dont know if this is the best thing to do- but copy pasting in

notepad/wordpad allows you to wordwrap to the page.

That is what I have been doing to read Mukund Sir's mails..yes- they

are too good to miss just because its hard to move up and down again

and again.

Ive noticed one thing however after coming to the US,that people are

able to spell out exactly what troubles them. This is principally

because (IMO) there is a patented solution to most practical problems.

In India- we get so used to working around problems- that after a time

we dont even think of something as annoying. Im still in the Indian

frame of mind- and didnt even realise that it was taking time and

effort to move up and down each time...I finally started copy pasting

the mails- but even then hadnt consciously identified any problem..

Hence was quite surprised (read enlightened) to read your mail:)

Dear Ashok and Gayatri,

Read your mails Thanks for appreciating my writings.But I was

surprise to know that Ashok has to move left and right while reading the same

while Gayatri has to read it moving up and down. Now this time while writing I

have kept the window size medium so Ashok has not to move sideways while as I am

keeping it small enough so there is no need to make it up and down. Please let

me know has this corrected the trouble you are facing?

Mukund's mails are so interesting that cannot pass on them.

But sometimes it is cumbersome because you have to move the page right or left

to be able to read the page.

Any savvy tech solutions Ravin, Kishore..

dear Mukund,

Your mails are so illuminating.

Neeti says how come I don't know all these stories.

My only exposure to the medical field was in Sewagram- Wardha. As pediatric

resident we used to see cases botched by the PPs. Sometimes the PP accompanied

the patient as they were scared about the outcome ( obviously VIP patients )

But I still feel things were not as corrupt in places like Wardha atleast in

those days.

Looks like Neeti saw a lot in Delhi.

We always used to hear about cut throat practices in big cities like Bombay.

Obviously with high cost of living the bottomline matters.

Your are candid and honest in your views and opinions........you handle this

topic of private practice and ethics which most don't want to address !!

Everybody will be benefited by your writeups....especially I think about the

young impressionable students training at Sewagram !

Ashok 1984

p.s., the following is a pasted version....now if I reply directly then my

mail also goes in the same format !

Dear All,

I was happy to see that my jokes on Appendix have created a quite

a hot academic discussion. (Kucchh Halchal Ho To Hi Mazaa Hai Na......! :-))

Here are few points I will like to add-

1) As Kishore rightly pointed out USG etc are meant for ruling out

other diagnosis rather than diagnosing Appendicitis. In before USG days surgeons

here used to look appendix in an plain X- ray abdomen and if asked they will say

" It is to rule out ureteric stone we do X-ray. " ( Ofcourse after looking at the

quality of the X ray performed by them was nothing can be diagnosed on it.

Patient not prepared, Smallest Portable Xray Machine and 8th class passed

compounder operating the same. The result used to be Photooo rather than X

ray.:-) Is Ka Ek Kissa a Appendix at the end of this message)

2) Every appendicitis does not need surgery at all. With proper

conservative management you can save so many surgeries. The appendix needs

opening only if it is obstructed and leading to perforation. One of my

Gynaecologist freind from Bhusawal has a Surgeon wife. He was stating that, "

Being gynaecologist we need not do appendicectomies to feed ourselves. So when

we do only indicated appendicectomies we have hardly 3 to 5 appendix surgeries

in an year!!! "

3) The appendicectomy surgery has a very bad reputation. A son of

my gynaecologist freind from Mumbai had pain in abdomen which was not quite

fitting in Chronic appendicitis. So surgery was not performed. He was treated

medically for an year or two for the intermittent pain in abdomen. without

releif.All investigations also were in vain to point out the diagnosis. Then one

of our surgeon freind from Nandurbar had visited his place. He after putting

hand on his tummy said , " This boy needs laparatomy. I feel he is having Meckel's

Diverticulum. " And Laparatomy proved his diagnosis. Moral of the story

a)clinical judgment goes above all the investigations. Eyes can not see what

mind doesn't know!!

Now Kissa a Appendix ---

Again this is a true story told by a senior GP over here.One

surgeon had started his practice newly and he was enthusiastic for surgery.

When one patient of pain in Lt illiac fossa went to him, he took an X ray and

advised him immediate admission and an emergency appendicectomy. The patient

came home weeping for preperation of admission. His neibour was clever enough.

He said " Look man, you have pain on Left side and my relative operated for

appendix had pain on right side. Let us go to our old GP. and confirm the need

for surgery. "

These two went to the GP. he after examining felt that it was just

Dyspepsia and gave him Unienzyme tablet. and asked him to get the Xray plate

from the surgeon. The patient went to surgeon to get it. The surgeon concerned

had done only screening. Considering that what a villager will know he

carelessly removed one Xray from his plates and handed over to him.

GP after loking at the Xray said very seriously, " You really need

a surgery. You have a twin pregnancy in your tummy. " The patient went back to

surgeon and got back his fees for consultation and Xray. Thanks god for the good

old days. Those days CPA was not there!!!!!

Dear Ravin,

Thanks for your tips on formatting. My use of computer is restricted

to bare minimal utilities e.g. operating out look express, Writing dramas,

keeping birthday reminders etc I still do not use it at work place. So I miss so

many details which I can look into safely by trial and error unless & until need

arises. Anyway, now I have followed your suggestions and set the button at 60

characters. (By default it was at 76 characters.) So this message is to test the

improvement (and ofcourse to thank you ! )

Mukund (1974)

Dear Mukund,

All you need to do is set your right margin to 70 characters.

If you use Outlook Express to send your mail, go to the " Tools - Options "

menu, enter the " Send " tab... in the window displayed you will find a " mail

sending format " area containing a " plain text settings " button.

Click on this button and in the box related to text wrapping, enter 70 (the

default is 76, if that is so you need not change it).

Secondly you need to send you messages to MGIMS mailing list using plain

text only. So before you compose your message, in the main message window

make sure your " format - plain text " is selected.

If the above does not work - no one can help you :-D OR if you are using

some program other than OE to send your mail, you will find similar options

therein...

Dear Gayatri and Mukund,

<<I think its quite fine now

@ breadth of message...or side to side scrolling...>>

I am still having the problem.

The following is for Gayatri -

When I first came to this country I struggled / resisted not calling a senior

person Sir / Madam / Uncle or Aunty. I even displeased some of my uncle's family

friends by calling them aunty. Incidentally the uncles didn't mind /care/notice

but the aunties took offence.

Typical ?

But like so many other things you used to becoming a Roman in Rome.

So when Kishore, Jyostna and Mukund asked us to shed the Sir/ Madam business I

welcomed the idea.

When you start addressing somebody by name, shedding the formalities it does

foster a certain closeness and warmth.

So an appeal from us " seniors " again.....to call us by name only.

true, it is interesting... My kids take the via media, if it is a desi they

add the aunty/uncle. If it is a gora they call them by name. They were in a

dilemma when nadu brought his fiance a local girl home. they wanted to know

whether to call her by name only or tag the aunty after the name. I asked

them to ask her and she was cool about anything. so that is that. like I

call the younger consultants by first name and the older ones as Dr/Mr

so & so. cheers Malini (82)

true, it is interesting... My kids take the via media, if it is a desi they

add the aunty/uncle. If it is a gora they call them by name. They were in a

dilemma when nadu brought his fiance a local girl home. they wanted to know

whether to call her by name only or tag the aunty after the name. I asked

them to ask her and she was cool about anything. so that is that. like I

call the younger consultants by first name and the older ones as Dr/Mr

so & so. cheers Malini (82)

Dear Gayatri and Mukund,

<<I think its quite fine now

@ breadth of message...or side to side scrolling...>>

I am still having the problem.

The following is for Gayatri -

When I first came to this country I struggled / resisted not calling a

senior person Sir / Madam / Uncle or Aunty. I even displeased some of my

uncle's family friends by calling them aunty. Incidentally the uncles didn't

mind /care/notice but the aunties took offence.

Typical ?

But like so many other things you used to becoming a Roman in Rome.

So when Kishore, Jyostna and Mukund asked us to shed the Sir/ Madam business

I welcomed the idea.

When you start addressing somebody by name, shedding the formalities it does

foster a certain closeness and warmth.

So an appeal from us " seniors " again.....to call us by name only.

Dear Mukund Sir,

Ive been having hand- to mind incoordination of late:) Hence the " up

down " when I meant " side to side "

I think we have to scroll down for most mails if they are long- and I

certainly want everyone to write long mails..so no problem with

up-down.

Also, issuing a general warning for the future- if anyone thinks I

have written something odd then to please ignore it or clarify it:) (

Dear Ravin,

I have one more problem regarding mails from the e group. In

between I was put on the bouncers list. I corrected the problem through the

site. But I am not receiving all the mails.For example I received directly

Gayatri's respose to Anshu's mail on swiss toilets. The original message, and

Anshu's response (and the Toilets too :-) ) didnot come to my mail box.

Ofcourse I visited the group and had look at them ....! But what's the problem ?

Who is selective ? emanager or my server or the computer ? ( Ofcourse not the

moderator! He is enjoying in Rajasthan Sunny and Sandy days in rainy season !!!)

How to rectify it?Can I rectify it through -from message rules..? Please come to

rescue otherwise I will miss the interesting mails :-)

Mukund (1974)

Dear Mukund,

All you need to do is set your right margin to 70 characters.

If you use Outlook Express to send your mail, go to the " Tools - Options "

menu, enter the " Send " tab... in the window displayed you will find a " mail

sending format " area containing a " plain text settings " button.

Click on this button and in the box related to text wrapping, enter 70 (the

default is 76, if that is so you need not change it).

Secondly you need to send you messages to MGIMS mailing list using plain

text only. So before you compose your message, in the main message window

make sure your " format - plain text " is selected.

If the above does not work - no one can help you :-D OR if you are using

some program other than OE to send your mail, you will find similar options

therein...

Dear Ashok,

Thanks for the advice.. its just very hard to get used to it... (even

right now it feels blasphemous- or close to it..)

But maybe you are right- I already feel like you are more of a friend

and less of a senior.

Hope Ill remember!

Thanks!!

Dear Mukund,

I am not going to complain about the width of your mails....because till this

last one I was being punished kind of....your mails atleast in my screen got

three times more wider !!

This last one is OK...wide but very managable ; ))

Neeti.... are you having the same problem ?

Gayatri had and I wonder if its fixed for her ?

Mukund..........the Sanjana mail was very heart warming............you captured

the essence of this group.

Hopefully our group 'falos' and 'fulos' ... and goes on forever with more and

more active members : ))

Ashok 1984

p.s one thing is working.....when I reply to your mail, your mail is

automatically fitting in the screen ! So even I am not replying I can read your

mails after going in reply mode !!
