Kashmir issue in Orthopaedic term written by one of junior Doctors!
*Orthopedic Point of view*
🦴🍖🛠🔪🔫🔩⚙🚿
When *India* got freedom it was in *Multifragment fractured* bone.
An expert surgeon *Sardaar Patel* fixed all fragments very efficiently and they all united but a large fragment was unstable.
HOD *Nehru* said I will handle and operate.
He fixed it with costly implant ( *worth £370* ) but it got infected as appropriate sterilisation was not done.
It started discharging pus inspite of giving costly antibiotics.
Repeated curettage( *Kargil*),
Even seqestrectomy ( *Bangladesh*) failed off
And on pus discharge redness fever kept recurring .
A Pathologist ( *Doval*) identified a
super bug infection prevelent some parts of the world and resistant to all treatment.
A surgeon *Modi* even did *Saucerisation* of areas showing cavities ( *Surgical strike*), but it did not work.
They suspected that If left as such malignant changes may occur.
Oppertunistic infections ( *Pak*) was also a problem.
Some big medical shopkeepers did not favour redical cure as they were making money from costly medicine sales for treatment of this problem.
In 2019 *Chief Surgeon Modi* who has been treating it conservatively without results decided to go for some radical procedure,
not tried by previous surgeons as they lacked courage to handle such a difficult case and we're happy taking commission from Pharma dealers( *Vote bank*).
He consulted a renowned anesthesiologist ( *Amit Shah*) who had all the latest equipments to handle critical surgery.
That surgery has been done,
*Dr Ravi Shankar Prashad* assisted.
Affected bone split, healthy ( *Laddakh*) isolated to one side,
Implant gentamicin beads( *security forces*) placed in infected part
With exicision of sinuses ( *Arrests of Mahbooba, Abdulla*)
And covering the wound with vascularised ( *Union Territory*) graft.
Patient is stable but those eying Chief surgeon's post and perks associated with it are creating ruckus.
Shouting why case was not referred ( *UN*) and why case was not discussed with other teams and so on.
They don't want a permanent cure .
This is it 🙏🏼
