visiting MCOMS Pokhara !!!

Posted 06-05-2008 at 12:41 PM by Mati
Dear Friends,

I for the first visited Pokhara a couple of days ago while on the way back to Kathmandu from Manang - Thorang La - Mukti Nath - Jomsom and then Pokhara via flight.

The city is great. The views are majestic and lakes are excellence. Pokhara, I found as described.

As a medic, I went to visit Manipal Teaching Hospital. The look, infrastructure, the location and maintenance impressed me a lot. That's so nice.

I went to the wards, corridors, stations, canteen and almost everywhere. All were impressive.

I tried to find a friend - Dr Bishnu Rath Giri (who is xenomed advisor) there. I had quite a bit beating round the bushes but thanks to some of his classmates who were great to help me to get hold of Bishnu. I finally met him and he took the extensive tour of MCOMS as a whole and Pokhara too. I was too poky regarding many issues and he was cool to them. He took me to his apartment where I met quite many brilliant guys - all having great cleanliness and some of the best books in the world over the reading tables!!! Bishnu was on call for Neuro!!! He had been called to ER for the chronic left sided subdural haematoma with compressed lumbar vertebral fracture (?L-1 I guess as far as I remember). He dealt well.

Then we went out to New Road, Chipledhunga and others. Bishnu went for Standard Chartered Bank with his SCT (?ATM) and of course we visited a restaurant (?Garden Restaurant). We chatted few of the topics there. I was loquacious, informal and provocative. I think Bishnu was easy for all these. I didn't feel anything to talk to him and took as easy as so friendly friend with all sorts of interaction for many years over the emails, forums and journals. He is great.

He had many ideas up his sleeves and I hope he will be updating us in this forum time and again when he feels they are right to share.

These guys doing many academic activities there which are exemplary and medical students from other colleges need to learn from them.

Keep up the good work guys.




Best wishes,
mati

Dear Dr Om,

Yes we knew from each other for quite a long time !!! The modern golden batch of ASCOL (Amrit Science College, Lainchour) - Nirma (my room mate) Om, Bhadra, Narendra, Subaj, Basu, Kamal and so many who are doing great in medicine in Nepal and abroad. Nirmal has recently secured double ninety-nine in USMLE - I and going to sit for the USMLE -II. He is great - Brilliant.

Yes Om, the hospital and infrastructure right to the bank of Seti River and in the foothills of Jungle is definitely great. There are shortcomings and negative points everywhere but we know what are the strengths too. I had long been talking and referring to MCOMS Teaching Hospital - to the patients simply because I know how patient is managed and how case is worked up in teaching hospitals. I have myself that interest for the patients and academic points of view. So they get best possible input and we get the cases. Manipal Pokhara has a lot to offer the people that come under the catchment area of this hospital. My view is that they should take advantage of that.

Yes I have a different look - very different in my life. I have longest hair of my life, moustache and beard just trimmed which were untouched and untrimmed for one and half months' stay up in the mountain when I came there !!! So I could be anything like that !!!

Yes you guys are almost inside the MCOMS premises - I saw you in football dress up (were you in AC Milan's uniform or Barca's? I forgot) and going to play football in the evening. That's great.

As you guys are doing great there - Keep up the good work Om. Best of luck for your mission along with other friends. I am very much impressed with all those.

Hope to read more from you in the future.


Best wishes,
mati
