Dr. Tapan Mukherjee replied

The best way to reply to your misdemeanour and deliberate misinformation would be this story: A delightful epistle written by a colleague *A Misconstrued Medico* : Dear Sir, I belong to a profession that Shashi Tharoorji would describe as ‘ *Somatic decrepitude mender* ’ and in common parlance: *Doctor*. Off late, I had some weird experiences which I would like to share with you sir! Recently, I travelled with my family by flight sir ! We reported at check-in a little late by just half an hour sir! (My patients are usually late by one hour for surgery and two hours for consultation). The lady at the check-in counter was very upset with me sir ! Angrily, she asked us to deposit our baggage. Then. I had my doubts! As it was a travel abroad , We were taking three flights with two transits! Would the staff at the various airports know our itinerary ? I asked the lady and she reluctantly replied that they had protocols and our baggage would be safe. But… still I had doubts! So I sent my wife again to clarify the same with the same lady . Same answer….!! But more reluctance! Actually sir , I am a man of perfection and so asked my son to re-clarify again ! This time, the lady got really angry while explaining ! But sir, I wasn't convinced , I wanted an expert from our family to opine! Hence I called my cousin’s brother-in-law’s friend, who is in air related business (he is an air-conditioning mechanic!) and gave the phone to the lady! Now... You see sir! We, doctors, always clear doubts of patients, their relatives, friends, relatives’ friends, friends’ relatives (and even pets!) in person, phone, mail, whatsapp, etc. without grumbling even in midnight sir ! But this lady was furious and asked me to go to hell and with lot of confusions we proceeded to the security check! I could overhear her describing me as a piece of what Tharoorji would call ‘ *Haemorrhagic excrement* !’ Inside the plane, I had a big shock sir! A lady was demonstrating what we should do, when the plane falls into the sea! My goodness.. I got panicky and wanted to see the pilot immediately! The pilot came and I asked him: “ Can I go to business class if I pay extra money?” He agreed. But I had some doubts: “Is business class 100% safe? No emergency exit, oxygen stuff, etc...!! Right?” He said “NO!” Look sir! I am paying 3 or 4 times more than (Tharoorji’s) ‘ *cattle class*. But u say still the plane can fall into the sea!! Then I asked him my second doubt: “Does business class reach the destination a few hours earlier?” (‘Pay more! Expect more!’ - our patients’ policy sir!) Again a ‘NO!’ I made a last request to the pilot: “Sir! Today…. Wednesday! Now it is 8.40am! Yamakandam is over only at 9’o clock. Can you please delay take off by 20 minutes?” He banged the cockpit door on my face, sir, and called me what Tharoorji would term ‘ *Progeny of un-solemnised copulation* ' Not only flight sir . Once , During rail travel booking too, I had problems sir! The first class AC rail ticket charges were exorbitantly high sir! I politely asked the booking clerk for concession. He said, “If you want to pay less, travel in second non-AC!” Even after explaining to him that my family always loyally travelled by their railways for more than four decades, he would not oblige. I called him “ *Greedy fellow* !!” Just like patients call Doctors when they see the hospital bill. In return, that man scolded me with a word, which Tharoorji would term as ‘ *Maternal fornicator* !’ The final incident took place last week sir! Our family had sumptuous biriyani at a hotel in our town sir . When the bill came, I was shocked sir! Immediately I called the manager and complained about the exorbitant charges. He went on to explain, “Look sir! Do you know what ingredients we use for our biriyani? All.... branded items! Kohinoor basmati rice, all spices from Everest and so on ..... I stopped him mid-sentence: “ You cheat! Now.... I have caught you red-handed! Rice in ration shop is less than Rs.10 a kilo, And Just 2 rupees in Tamilnadu ,, But you buy rice for Rs.300 a kilo....! I know..... you have a secret deal with all the companies and overcharge the customers!” The same accusation that the *Indian intelligentsia including the PM-ji throw against us doctors* ! But sir.... the manager called all his staff, threw me out after making me pay the bill with no.mercy !! The words they used sir...... !!! no sir.... &%£@%& Even Tharoorji’s thesaurus would not have equivalent words! *Written by a fellow doc.* BTW, YOU FAILED TO MENTION YOU ARE DOING JUST FINE POST OPERATION (For your fissure and Phimosis, both!). Sorry, couldn't satisfy your zeal to learn medical science in a crash course at your follow up visit!

I was referred to Dr Tapan on an emergency basis when I got my USG report and had a stomachache and continuous Vomiting. I was very scared of Surgery and post recovery specially bcz of my body weight. in addition to weight, I only have aged parents at home and there is no one to take care of me fully.And this pain of Gallbladder was killing me.. And I was in dellima of what to do.But your approach and way of talking, explaining the problem, helped me with confidence that I can be fine post surgery.. Kidding over fatty liver was good too ** ******* **** ******** ** ****** **** ***** So reduce weight"I didn't feel scared for the surgery and talking to you, I know that I was in safe hands.. May be how minor or major the surgery is but that satisfaction that "I am in safe hands" doesn't come from every one. I went tension free in the operation room and came out good as well.. Thank you so much Doctor. I got discharged from hospital on 8th Feb. will send you updates on my health recovery and will visit you soon post 2 weeks of discharge as mentioned in the discharge summary.

On first day when we met, we were so much satisfied with doctor's explanation and patience for patient.He figured out the affected area in details and cause of the problem in front of us. As it was not like a normal gal stone operation so situation was complex.Even after the operation patient went under MRCP test.When I got panic ,Dr always gave me confident by keeping his hand on my shoulder with a smile.With God's blessing *** **** **** ********* my wife got recovery gradually. I am personally touched by his behaviour,patience and responsibility.Thank you so much doctor. May God bless you.

I was badly in need of a surgeon for my wife's silent Gall Stone. I got Sir's reference from one of my Doctor school friends.

Before moving on, I read his reviews here and got satisfied and confident to take on for the operation. When we met Sir, he was the first person to detect my wife was also having a silent hernia and he suggested to operate that also including the Gall Stone.

What I liked his detailed explanation and this also everyone said here, his friendly behavior, his dedication and confidence building to patient and patient's family, his feeling for patient's budget and many more. We did her operation under his guidance and it was successful. Not only that he co-operated me till I got the claim from my Insurance Company. He also suggested a good nursing home "New Avenue Nursing Home" at Chinarpark where we felt like home.

All these are very short to write about Sir. In few word, he came like a God to us.

I highly recommend Sir's consultation to each and every person.

Thanks a lot, Sir and yes we got the claim money too very recently Thank you again and Regards. --- Amitabha Ghosh

Dr Mukherjee's friendly advices reduces half of the sufferings. All his advices and explanations of disease are very specific, therefore patient (here my wife) goes to Operation table without tension. Whenever required before operation, got Dr's suggession through whatsapp. Post operative advices and cares are also very helpful to recover fast. Already recommending to friends.

Thank you doctor.

Dr. Tapan Mukherjee replied
