50 AND COUNTING
- DR.H.S.YENKATESHA MURTHY
I first sighted Bangalore Medical college building
through the windows of a B.T.S. bus .. The pink
coloured building with a smattering of trees, young
men and women with their aprons (local lingo for
doctors' white coat) casually slung over their
shoulders milled around.
To be a part of that scenery was not just at the top of
my wish list but was the only thing on my wish list.
Coming as I did from a small town in Karnataka
everything
in Bangalore
looked
better than
everything else I had seen before and every student I
met seemed somehow much smarter and cleverer
than me.
Was it the first flush of youth? Or was it the kind of
confidence only possible when one is young? Early
years of B.M.C. were a song. If notforthe confidence
How could one confidently
take Anatomy and
physiology exams and pass it? Now I realize how
generous my examiners might have been? My early
medical school photographs are a constant source
of a good laugh to my family. What do they know that
I would have killed to have more of those hideous
bellbottom trousers! But then again
more or less same sort of things now.
my son wants
Wow! B.M.C. days were the days of many firsts. First
patient to examine, first clinics, first insights into the
marvels of medicine and surgery not to forget the very
first crush and the first broken heart too! Prof. Krishna
Bhargava the crusader of Il)€dical administration,
erudite prof.Maiyya, emphatic prof.N.A.Jadhav were
part of the Bangalore medical college of my era. I still
do not know wether the fascination for surgery or prof.
Vittal's glamorous image and Mercedes made me take
up surgery as my career.
By the way I still have to buy my Mercedes!
Final year at the medical school threw up many
questions. Why is there such a gap between what we
read in the books and what we actually do in the
hospital? Where are the career guidance and many
more? In the class socials Dr.N.A.Jadhav advised us
to marry early and Dr. N.K.Channappa
advised us to
be self reliant first and then marry. Confused as I was
then I would have followed any advice if only I had
some one to marry!
Many years later the B.M.C. building more or less
remains the same. Now it is ranked as one of the top
five colleges in the country. Now I know few things I
did not then. How the college was started, how the
Gym. of our time was in fact a police station. I also
know that B.M.C. is like a big banyan tree. We are
like the flowers and fruits at the end of its far reaching
branches. May be we all enjoy the new milieu and the
sights and sound it has to offer but our basic
sustenance comes from the roots of the tree that is
B.M.C. It certainly is a part ot' what we are and we
think and believe in to-day.
I am sure B.M.C. evokes similar and many more
sentiments in thousands of students who have passed
through its portals.
Fifty years for the B.M.C. is a milestone. A time to
announce its youth, its robust growth, its promising
future. For me its chronological
contemporary it is
time to pause and take stock. But then again that is
how it oughtto be. Long live B.M.C.

My Personal Experience with the Anesthesiology
Delegation to the People'sRepublic
of China
- By Vasantha
Nagasandra,
On September 9, I and a group of anesthesiologists
from different parts of United States visited China for
new anesthetic
sevoflurane,
a professional exchange arranged by the Citizen
Ambassador
Program.
This program is part of
People to People International which was founded in
1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower who
believed that private citizens reaching
out to
friendship to the people of other nations could make
propofol,
pancuronium,
meperidine and morphine were
used. Whatwas striking to us was
the reuse of such supplies as
Swan-Ganz
catheters,
endotracheal
tubes, masks and
syringes.
These were washed
a significant contribution to world peace.
It was
administered by the State Department until 1961
when it became a private, not-for-profit corporation.
Now the work is carried out by private-sector
organizations both in the United States and overseas.
In Beijing we visited the Fu Wai Hospital and An-Zhen
Hospital.
The former is a 400- bed hospital, the
largest cardiovascular
center in China and also a
training and research institute. An-Zhen Hospital is a
700-bed municipal hospital also called the Beijing
Heart Lung Blood Vessel Medical Center which
focused on epidemiology, control of cardiovascular
disease and cardiothoracic surgery.
We were usually received very warmly and shown
around by the chairman and senior staff of the
anesthesia department.
In addition, every hospital
we visited had a foreign relations representative that
accompanied
us on these visits. We saw several
operations in progress, such as CABG, repairofVSD,
and mitral valve surgery. Anesthesia machines were
a combination of North American Drager, Ohmeda,
and British models.
Siemens and some HewlettPackard monitors were in use. As we wandered into
the operating rooms that were not in use, we noted
several older anesthesia machines with side-arm
vernitrol type vaporizers. A combination
of old and
agents such

after each use, hung out to dry,
and then sterilized.
The Fu Wai Hospital
performs
about 2,500
cases
annually with an overall mortality rate of 2.2%-a
small number compared to the major cardiovascular
centers in the United States.
My most cherished
memory of this visit was watching a four-year-old
child being taken off the ventilator and extubated
following open heart surgery (PDA repair). The child
hardly protested-appearing
so calm and well
behaved!
At the An-Zhen Hospital we were given a breakdown
of the costs of an open heart procedure. The general
a nesthesia cost was 200-400 Yuan/case, the surgery
cost was 800-1,500
Yuan/case; and the ICU stay
cost was 1,060 Yuan/case/day.
In contrast, for
epidural
anesthesia the cost is 40 Yuan/case
(Exchange rate $1 = 8.2 Yuan).
Dr. Han, Director
of Pain Management
and
Acupuncture
gave a very stimulating
lecture on
acupuncture.
Several members of the delegation
also purchased the Han's Acupoint Nerve Stimulator
since several of us had expressed interest in
acupuncture treatment.

5 cc of the mixture for the superficial plexus block on
ketamine and 100 mg of procaine in 500 cc of 5%
glucose solution was infused at the rate of 100-150
cc per hour. This mixture is turned off about 30
minutes prior to termination
of the operation.
Another
commonly
used drug
was gamma
hydroxybuterate for IV general anesthesia in the dose
of 50-80 mg/kg supplemented with 1-2 mg/kg of IV
ketamine.

was able to converse quite easily. No complications

here was a

Beijing is an interesting
city with its modern
architecture,
buildings
and roadways
and a
traditional lifestyle. Bicycles and overcrowded buses
are the mode of transportation of the majority of the
people. The cost of living is expensive in comparison
to the income even by the standards of the well
educated. Mostfaculty did not own cars and lived on
a modest income of 800 to 1,200 Yuan a month,
mostly in two-to-three bedroom apartments.

Another stop included an evening at the Peking
Opera apparently one of China's most famous art
forms with a blend of acting, singing, dancing,

which
was very
entertaining.
We made a final stop at the city of Guilin known for its
scenic landscape
and magnificent
geological
features. On a cruise down the river Li as it winds its
way through the countryside,

On our way back to the Unites States, we stopped
over at Hong Kong, also known as the' 'Gateway to

Asia, also ranking third as an international banking
and finance center. It is currently a British colony on a
99-year lease that expires as of July 1,1997, when
government
control is resumed by the Peoples
Republic of China.
The delegation was treated to
many of the breath-taking
sites of Hong Kong,
including a farewell banquet at the top of the World
Trade Center.

-Dr. Jayadeva Chowdappa
The lack of protest against this

by the students or staff must have
given the government courage to
go ahead with a major coup that
would surface with an outrageous

any reason to complain. This was so outrageous that
there was pandemonium amongst BMC students and
Junior doctors.
Bowring and Lady Curzon hospital has been the second
biggest hospita I in the city for trai ning BMC students. At
that time it catered for five medical and surgical units,
three OBG units, two pediatric units, two orthopedic
units and one each of clinical
specialties
like
Ophthalmology,
ENT,
Dermatology
etc.
Undergraduate Students of the college living in that
part of town received clinical training at that Hospital.
About fifty PG students in different specialties had their
training exclusively at that hospital. In addition it was
the most popular facility for other medical colleges to
seek House surgeon spot in Bangalore.

their college buildings and plans forthe hospita Is, it was

amongst the student leaders at that time following the

convinced that Bowring Hospital should be attached to

we should celebrate it. He seemed to ask, "who is this

took care of important details of putting the BMC
Alumni Association on a firm footing by registering
the body, complete with bye-laws et al and took good
care of the money as well as the statutory
requirements.
The other thing
that needs
mentioning is that the Principal of BMC at that time

Alumni Association to do good to the college and
gave us office space and all encouragement for us to
become active in the real sense of the term. Dr. (Ms)
