Hi Anchita.

Nice to know you are in public health too.

It would be nice to have your family picture in our virtual MGIMS album.

Hey meatbolic syndrome stands for what was previously known as " syndrome X "

all about hyperglycemia, obesity and high lipid levels etc.; basically to do

with the Non-Communicable disease thing.

And TLC, are you referring to the puraana Total leucocyte count, or tender

loving care? Being a pediatrician, i suspect its the latter.

Love,

Anchita (93)

PS: Even if my answers are right, I'm not a contender for the stethoscope.

In my field of public health, and doing the work I'm doing now, I don't need

a stethoscope. And in ENT, Bhushan also hardly ever needs one!! So much for

a stethoscope being the " hallmark " of doctors.
