Thank you Doctor : 10 Years, 150 Episodes...


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore

Mangalore, Nov 11 : Dr Edward Nazareth, well-known orthopedic surgeon from Mangalore, is not just a medical practitioner, but also a noted Konkani author with several books and articles to his credit.

For Daijiworld he has been a guiding force, as in the year 2002 on our request he agreed to answer readers' queries on health and sex related issues. Ever since, he has been a source of valuable information, a consultant and guide to thousands of our readers. He has advised readers on thousands of health related questions, without any expectation.

We take this opportunity to thank Dr Edward on completing 150th episode with today's update.

Several times, when the questions were not within his scope, he has gone the extra mile to discuss them with fellow medical experts and get the answers. As every month only a limited number of questions are answered, several others have to wait. He will be answering every query possible, meanwhile, many questions which have been repeatedly asked can be accessed on the 'Ask Doctor' column.

On behalf of the readers of daijiworld.com we thank Dr Edward and assure our readers that his column will continue as long as questions flow in !

    DEAR CYRIL,
    THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTENING THE READERS ABOUT OUR WORK ON RAKNO IN THE 70 S.
    JUST TO NARRATE FACTS CORRECT, IT WAS MGR. ALEXANDER DSOUZA WHO INSTIGATED US TO WRITE ON HEALTH ISSUES IN RAKNO OF WHICH HE WAS THEN EDITOR. IT WAS HIS IDEA OF THE NEED FOR SUCH COLUMN IN RAKNO.
    SOON AFTER ME AND JAWAHAR STARTED WRITING FR. MARK VALDAR BECAME THE EDITOR AND DR.EDWARD JOINED US AS " MEDICO MYSORE " THAT IS EDWARD STARTED WRITING WHEN HE WAS STILL A MEDICAL STUDENT ! THIS SPEAKS FOR HIS TALENT IN WRITING OVER MEDICAL ISSUES IN SIMPLE KONKANI FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE.
    AND LATER FR. VALDAR PUBLISHED OUR ARTICLES IN A BOOK CALLED " BHORI BHOLAIKI " WHICH IS PROBABLY THE FIRST VENTURE IN KONKANI.

    Respected Doctor,
    You could have easily migrated to US, Australia, Europe or Middle East and had luxurious life. You could have written your books in English and earned more money. But you stayed at Mangalore, loved your place, loved your people and loved your mother tongue. Hats off to you doctor. You are one of the gems that Mangalore have ever produced. May you live long life, enjoy best health and prosperity, May the God bless you and your family. Thank you for everything doctor.

    It's a wonderful Knowledge of Enlightenment we share with the Ignorant. Our Country is backward and ignorant about Orthopaedic knowledge. You are a Light to those wishing to learn more about Orthopaedics. Where bones break you repair When ligaments tear you stitch it up. When spine bends you straighten it. When Tendon tears you suture it. And when ankle fracture' You fix a steel rod to it. Thanks for being the one Repairing and remodelling our Bones. May God bless to continue your mission to Keep our joints and bones perfect to MOVE ABOUT....

    While I am humbly Congratulating to you Dear Doctor for your rare feat, '10 Years, 150 Episodes...' how can I hesitate to write something in addition about you Our rare jewel - Dr. Nazareth, a man of vision, very down to earth with his simplicity, caring and immense knowledge of Medicine who has won over the mind and the heart of his fellow Mangaloreans and beyond.

    "A boy had a tender vision for literature, novel and amazingly his name appeared in the news paper when he was only IX standard". Your vision and mission are ever growing stronger in writing health related issues ever since past 32 years.
    You have sychronized men's life in your writings. Your first book ' sex education for youth' 1993, Second book for Married 1995, Once married for their offspring you wrote another book Child Care' 1988. And Finally one more recent publication a new book for the Aged People.
    Your books, 1. Bhumi vainkutamth, 2. Advarlelem Phal, 3. Saimbachem Pathak, and 4. Chamãdoracho Puth' There is not a single doctor of medicine who has done any work in Konkani literature so far like Dr. Nazarethhas also written two novels which I do not remember now.
    In a nutshell 'Mogachyã dakteraba' (as you were well known in your Raknno column having its imprinting ever since) , having becoming a most successful orthopedic doctor in your profession, your concern for fellow men's personal health, sexual health and family health, your unending zeal for Mother Tongue, ' Konkani' has a no point of ending. You do profess about our vernacular language 'Konkani' whichever may be the stage you climb including while you were in Doha.... all will go down in the annuals of Konkani's History in once own fairest of faire judgment.

    Dear Doctor Edward,
    I am an avid reader of all your "ask your doctor" articles. In fact I put a reminder on my computer to read it every 10th of the month.
    It is really amazing that being a busy medical professional how do you find time to compile these answers plus write such excellent books on health as well as other subjects in konkani.
    Salute to you Sir. Hope many more highly skilled and qualified professionals will take inspiration from you and spare at least some of their valuable time to the upliftment of the society.
    Also I thank daiji for publishing such valuable medical information, that too free of cost!

    CONGRATULATIONS ON ACHIEVING THIS GREAT MILESTONE.
    I KNOW VERY WELL HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO DO THIS WHEN ONE IS BUSY WITH HIS PROFESSION.
    IT IS TIME CONSUMING AND TAXING.
    I USED TO DO IT FOR RAKNO LONG AGO SO KNOW THE TASK VERY WELL.
    IT PLEASES WHEN THERE IS APPRECIATION BUT HURTS WHEN IGNORANT PEOPLE CRITICISE IT SOMETIMES ISNT IT ?
    KEEP IT UP.
