Message from NSS President 2020-21

Respected seniors and dear friends,

I'm very glad to be amongst you all and share my thoughts.

The chair of the President of NSS has been occupied by the stalwarts of surgical fraternity since

times immemorial. Many of these are *my idols, my mentors & my teachers*. To name a few are

Late Dr Vasant Pawar sir, Dr Sampat Pawar sir, Dr Pramod Shinde sir, Dr Shriram Upadhye sir,

Dr Narayan Sonawane... to name a few..

So it's a matter of great pride & honor to occupy this chair.

I know it's a hot seat & not a celebrity post. It carries great responsibility & commitment.

By God's grace & with full cooperation of my Team & unconditional support of you all NSS

friends, I myself is confident of delivering the best that I could.

Last year; whenever I used to think & plan for the installation ceremony of my Team, it was an

unimaginable thought of addressing the NSS colleagues on virtual platform. But Covid-19 has

changed the parameters of all aspects of our life which we are seeing not only in our country but

throughout the world. It has affected every aspect of our existence & life including our personal,

family, social, financial & professional life.

Friends, we are witnessing a very *important happening of this century*. The world is facing this

pandemic after almost *100 year since 1918-1919*. We are a proud designated #Corona

Warriors. We have to shoulder the responsibility of researching, predicting, planning & treating

the Covid-19 menace. I know many of us are doing their best & excelling in this field.

This Covid-19 has compelled us to change the way we think, practice, operate & treat patients.

Our CME & social gatherings became virtual & online. Telemedicine & Teleconsulting are the

new norms.

*In every adversity there is a hidden opportunity*.And same is true about Covid-19 pandemic.

Covid-19 has reoriented us from materialistic social world to family centered spiritual path. It's a

great welcome change. Many of us are acclimatizing to this welcome change. We are literally

*discovering-THE SELF* with renowned interest, zeal & joy.

To plan & summarize our activities in this coming year:

We have planned to conduct *twice monthly online webinar & CME* by experts faculties at

state & national level.

At the same time we are committed to give exposure to our speakers of local NSS members on

*4th Sunday of every month*. This we will be clubbed with interactive sessions of *hobbies &

extracurricular talents* of our members.

We have launched a *Facebook live page* to offer platform for our members to publicize their

work.

We have plan to publish the *e-Bulletin* every month to acknowledge & document our monthly

activities & also to publish original research work of our members.

We have started a series by name "kaleidoscope -मागे वळुन पाहता", with the idea of introducing

our senior NSS members to young surgeons & hence the glorious history of NSS.

We have raised voluntary donation fund by the generous contribution of NSS members *#Covid-

19 Fund* to assist & help the *#FightAgainstCorona*.I am proud to mention that we could

collect a fund of Rs 1.40 Lakh. The same fund was utilized for distributing the much needed 3-

ply surgical masks, sanitizers to grass root level workers of NMC, Police, Collectorate, MSEB &

अन्न सेवा समिती at Nasik civil hospital. We also distributed protective goggles to 'आशा वर्क र ' at

Bytco hospital.

Our CS Dr Suresh Jagdale, Civil Hospital, Nashik had given us a letter asking for voluntary

services *@ Civil Hospital for *Non-Covid routine Surgical work*. I'm glad that our NSS

members have responded to this noble call of duty & they are offering our services at Nashik

Civil Hospital on daily basis since 25th May.

Friends, it seems that meetings & gatherings as of now are a distant dream. It might not be

possible to conduct the CME''s & physical meets this year most probably till Oct-Nov.

But I will not lose any opportunity to interact with you personally whenever the time & reality

permits.

I am fortunate to have the excellent team to guide & work in my tenure as the President. My

teammates secretary Dr Swapnil Parakh, Treasurer Dr Vishal Pawar, Executive committee

members Dr Advay Aher & Dr Kailas Mogal, President Elect Dr Girish Thorat & Past President

Dr Mahesh Malu ,all are noble ,humble ,expert & a gem of the persons.

It’s indeed a joy to work with these expert teammates.

Dr Dilesh Bharambe is a technical brain behind our digital activities.

Dr Harshad Mahatme, Dr Prashant Muthal, Dr Pradeep Wagh are silent contributors to our

successful stories.

Friends, I expects your wholehearted support & full cooperation to make this year a successful. I

am 24×7 open to any suggestion & guidance from you all.

Jai Hind

Jai Maharashtra.

Thanks,

Long Live NSS

due to COVID 19 pandemic, but life goes on and so are we. We are adapting to it quickly,

changing our lifestyle and ways to work.

Webinars. Most important, we are insisting our own members to participate as faculty in these

photography, fitness and yoga, philosophical talks for our members and their family.

Few important topics like medicolegal aspects, hospital establishments and quality control,

entrepreneurship will also be covered.

I am fortunate to have leadership of Dr. Nandkishor Katore Sir who is a guiding force for all this

work. Dr. Mahesh Malu Sir, our immediate past president's guidance is of utmost important and

there is great help by all my team members, Dr. Girish Thorat Sir (President elect), Dr. Kailas

"Kaleidoscope -मागे वळुन पाहता"

Our NSS is a very dynamic, lively & vibrant organisation. Our young surgeons / members are

masters not only in their surgical skills & speciality but many extracurricular activities. They are

the main force behind the liveliness of our society.

Our veteran senior surgeons, who were the founders pillars of our society, are unknown to many

of these youngsters.

These senior surgeons were stalwarts in surgical expertise and they had provided the much

needed surgical services to this city over decades. Many of these were innovative & had

introduced newer surgical techniques, procedures & equipments in respect to the advances in

surgical fields & practices. They had fine-tuned the surgical practice in our city. In fact they had

built the basic foundations of surgical practice, which has facilitated the surgical practices of new

successive entrant in Nasik surgical fraternity. We owe a lot in terms of respect & gratitude to

these veteran seniors.

We, the executive committee has decided to introduce these seniors surgeons in a phased series

titled as-

Kaleidoscope: मागे वळुन पाहता

NSS: The Glorious History

Know Your Senior Colleagues

The idea behind this series is to acknowledge our youngsters about the glorious history of our

NSS & senior surgeons. This will definitely help to bridge the generation gap.

Our secretary Dr Swapnil Parakh has come out with this brilliant concept.

I will request the active members of our society who are in contact with the seniors &

"knowhow" with them to send the detailed CV & photos of these to either myself, Dr Swapnil

Parekh & Dr Vishal Pawar on our personal WhatsApp. We will publish them either weekly or

fortnightly.

*Team NSS 2020-21*

Our Paranjpe sir always said ‘Surgeons and Barbers were one community and it was barbers who

wanted to separate out from surgeons’.

NSS wishes a Healthy long life to Dr Sudhakar Paranjpe sir. May God Almighty shower him

with the same.

(Sincere thanks to Dr Milind kirloskar Sir for his efforts in making Dr Paranjpe Sirs CV).

Case Capsule of the Month

My checkmate with Covid-19

Just wanted to share my experience of last week, with my colleagues.

Wednesday, 3rd June at 2p.m. I did caesarean section of Primi (for prolonged labour) at

Gynaecologist hospital with all aseptic precaution and with full protective kit.

Caesar section was completed in 25 minutes without damaging single fibre. It was clean cut

incision.

Thursday June 4th at night 9 pm patient became breathless, no fever, saturation was 60%, we

brought saturation up to 90%, x-ray chest was full white ground glass pattern. And then patient

shifted to civil Hospital by 12:00 midnight on stretcher.

We were with full protective kit during resuscitation.

Patient and baby boy 3kg is alright, without any support now and about to discharge.

But on Saturday 6th June at 8:30 pm report comes as covid-19 positive.

Everyone was in shock, gynaecologist, anaesthetist, paediatrician, physician and assistant staffs.

Now What?

Many advices came,

But we all started

Isolation,

Azee 500 mg BD

Ivermectine BD

HCQ 200 mg BD

Vitamin C BD

Becozinc BD

Vitamin D sachet OD.

Saturday 7th June whole night was horrible (Can’t explain in words)

Sunday 8th June Early morning 7:30 I called my pathologist friend, he said will do covid-19 Sars

Cov-2 PCR test today itself ,it is fifth day of exposure ,so we all did covid-19 test (nasal swab

and oral swab) on 7th June Sunday 4:00 p.m.

Sunday night again was restless.

I was continuously enquiring about the reports to the lab person.

And to our surprise (all our good deeds paid off)

All reports were negative.

It was a great relief, immediately I took blessings of my Aai (mother-in-law).

Hugged and celebrated with Madhuri, Sushant and Rushikesh.

What a big relief for me and all our well-wishers.

माधरुी, सशुाांत आणि ऋणिकेश याांना णिलगलो आणि आई (सास)ू याांचे आशीवााद घेतले.

Zoom platform on 24/05/2020 from 11 am to 12.30 pm.

- Dr. Suresh Malegaonkar presented two clinical cases 1) Unusual clinical

presentation of acute necrotising pancreatitis and 2) Cervical posterior triangle node presentation

in a case of adenocarcinoma of lung which was initially treated as Koch's

emphasizing importance of clinicopathological correlation.

- Dr. Shriram Upadhye gave presentation on basics of photography and displayed

the slide show of his superb photography skill from his album.

Session lasted for 90 minutes. Almost 66 surgeons from NSS attended the webcast.

In response to the appeal letter from Nashik Civil Surgeon towards NSS for volunteering duties

at Civil hospital for ‘non- Corona routine surgical work’, as most of civil staff is occupied in

active Corona duties at Nashik Civil Hospital & Malegaon, many NSS members enthusiastically

volunteered to fill up the resultant lacunae.

It's a national work & NSS is grateful to authorities for giving us a chance to serve the nation.
