Play holds audience spellbound
Ludhiana, August 7 “Kuchh Hum ......” was presented by the Ludhiana Sanskritik Samagam. The play was staged at Guru Nanak Bhawan last evening. The story was of love and respect, family values, and how a family should stand together and support each other to bring out its best. The play depicted the root of the quarrels that lead to distances in the families and that the bone of contention was always ‘ego ‘. The scene opens with the husband forgetting the 30th marriage anniversary and forgets to wish his wife. When on cue by his ‘concept writer’ the husband remembers it , the wife asks him to call back their estranged son and his wifeas her gift. The wife (Apara Mehta) recalls how the ego clash had made her only son and his wife leave the house. The estranged couple returns but on the condition that the mother gives her 30 days of her life to her daughter-in-law. During the 30 days, she asks her mother-in-law to resume her painting in which she had excelled. Within a month she gains name and fame throughout the world. Now it is time for the mother-in-law to ask her ‘bahu’ to give up her positions of MD in two companies and become a housewife. Bahu accepts the challenge and after many fiascos, she is able to manage home. After 30 days she is ready to leave. But then deep love between father and son and mother and daughter-in-law comes to the fore. All misunderstandings vanish and love flows. Harmony is restored. Feroz Bhagat, who played the role of Apara’s husband was excellent. He is a senior Gujrati theatre artiste Pranav Tripathi as the ‘concept writer’ comes out with the most hilarious concepts. His sense of timing was excellent Nirmit Vaishnav as husband of Smriti, torn between love for his mother and intense dislike for his father, also matches acting skills with the rest of the esteemed cast. Amish Tanna as the servant was also good. The sets were excellent. The play in Gujrati was written by Sanjay V Shah and adapted into Hindi by Prakash Kapadia, Tushar Joshi had directed the play. The dialogues were witty and had audience in splits.

Medical fraternity upbeat over SC ruling
Ludhiana, August 7 Expressing happiness over the verdict, the state president of Indian Medical Association (IMA), Punjab, Dr R.C. Garg, and its General Secretary, Dr Gursharan Singh, agreed with the SC Bench that the doctors would not be in a position to perform well if they remained under a constant threat of prosecution and harassment if anything went wrong. Dr Gursharan Singh was of the opinion that complications, infections and worsening of disease in certain cases was a part of the medical and surgical practice and should not be considered as an act of negligence. “The affected persons should not cast aspersions on the skill or intentions of the doctors in such cases and ought to have faith in the medical professionals.” He, however, remarked that as far as instances of ‘gross negligence’ like operating upon the wrong side or wrong organ of the body, leaving instruments or other objects inside the body during surgical procedures or causing irreparable damage by wrong diagnosis or wrong medication, should be appropriately dealt with, that too after the charges of negligence were prima facie established by committee of experts, which must include experts from the concerned speciality. Dr Singh said that the IMA had already set up a grievances cell to look into complaints against doctors and to facilitate the process of dispensation of justice to the aggrieved parties. He remarked that the IMA would seek closer cooperation from the Punjab Medical Council to evolve a comprehensive mechanism to deal with common complaints from patients against the medical professionals. A cardio-thoracic surgeon, Dr Harinder Singh Bedi, termed the landmark judgement as a welcome step, which would go a long way in taking load off the minds of medical and surgical specialists at the time of treating their patients. He said, at times, things went wrong despite best intention of the doctors, not only in India but all over the world. Hence it was undesirable to proceed against doctors unless charges of gross negligence were proved. He observed that even though IMA had taken some steps in this direction, but in the wake of SC judgement, the authorities should set up a body of medical, surgical and legal experts to deal with the complaints of the people at the initial level so that medical professionals were not put to any avoidable harassment. Dr Manoj
Sobti, neuro-surgeon and former Head of Neuro-Surgery Department, Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, also hailed the SC ruling saying it would be particularly welcomed by those medical professionals working in critical fields. “The relationship between a doctor and patient is based on confidence since the patient puts his life in the hands of doctor who also tried their level best to relieve the sufferings of their patients. It will be grossly unfair to hold the doctors guilty on trivial grounds and such complications which are inseparable part of medical and surgical practices,” he added.
