Past/Present Clients

A lot number of simple people and medicos who consult Dr SK daily for their problems.

What do you like about this subject?

subject is vast but understanding can be made extremely simple if you dont follow complex reports ditto. more imp is the appearance and behaviour with clinical details noticed by most parents.A PROBLEM COMES WITH A SOLUTION ! Human Medicine is an art of dealing with humans, making their life comfortable, improving the quality of life and death.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

Understanding the behaviour of different children, the illnesses and the organisms or reasons of these illnessses, is a very interesting territory. I feel, clinical prediction of the type of organism or the illness or the mind, from just a history has lots to analyse and research. once we know the problem, we know how to tackle it.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Parents is the key for treatment of the child! Medicines is nt the only treatment for every problem, many times we need to understand the disease or problem and support our child accordingly to help him be best to fight with illness. I am a doctor with a heart. If u cant put your heart into it, you cant become a good doctor. homeopaths will never understand this science.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Medicine is considered to be highly subjective field with all grey areas. I disagree, I believe medicine is a black and white subject, its we who dont know where to draw or demarcate the line.
