the TRAUMA

I'M back in Trauma center from today....nightouts..
relay surgeries...lots and lots of patients and above all ....so much responsibility
A person who has a fracture does not become normal after the treatment...if the treatment has been invasive...Many patients remain "patients" even with united bones, modify their lifesyle and dont return back to their pre injury level work. Lack of aggressive post op care including physiotherapy, lack of strict followu p and documentation of such a thing happening in India are the probable reasons. Let's see if we can do something for that.
Had visited IG stadium y'day as part of our sports clininc.
Tha stadium is in shambles. Construction work goin on everywhere. the games would commence in 2010 but I dono whether these people would finish of building th stadium till that time. The clinic itself has been shifted to amakeshift building.
Injury to sports people is devastating....In INdia sports means cricket..but there aer thousand other sports other than cricket.
If an athlete sustains a fracture or sprain at the height of the season, he is done. Many lose their chance to enter national or intrnational team...the work all these days has gone waste..dreams are shattered..they become depressed dont gain the confidence to play again...some play despite the injry not listening to medical advice ending up in incapatitatiing disability.
My heart says I have to work for the betterment of sportspersons in INdia. Let's see What He plans.
