Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dr. Ranappa Nagendra Shetty was a giant of a man. He weighed over a 100 kgs, of course, but I do not mean it in that sense. With a knife sharp intellect and mental agility he easily towered over everyone else of his time. He was fair to everyone, but had a soft corner for everyone South Indian, especially Kannada. When I passed my MD, none of my parents were alive. Who should I give this great news to? I made a beeline to two of the staff at that time. One was Madame Chhabra and the other was Dr. R. N. Shetty. I had undergone great mental instability during my parents deaths, both of who had died during my internship and house job. These two stalwarts had formed my two great pillars of mental support when I had nearly decided to abandon my post graduate studies to try and bring order into my scattered family life and property. Dr. R. N. Shetty also was the Editor in chief of the Indian Journal of Anaesthesiology and he edited it with a rare élan. His treasure house of knowledge was a great asset, besides his flair for using the English language. For many years, he towered physically and mentally in his large size green OT suit in the operating rooms of MGIMS before he migrated to Goa and then to Karnataka and Kolhapur. After he left MGIMS, he left a large void which could never be filled up. May God be merciful on him and his family. Kishore Shah 1974 --- This is a genuine mail from KS.
