"WORLD OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY DAY" celebrations were conducted in the department of Occupational Therapy on 27th October, 2023 followed by guest lectures by Dr. Harish Pokale and Dr. Anjali Gangal.

The students of O.T. Training school and Center organised Teachers’ Day Celebration on 6th September, 2023.

The event was attended by the Head of Department, the professors and the clinical staff of Occupational Therapy department.

KEM hospital received the best ROTTO award at the 13th Indian Organ Donation Day. The Larynx congratulates to ROTTO team, Dean Madam, Dr. Sujata Patwardhan, Aakash Shukla, Advisory committee members and all others who contributed for this award.

Dr. Adinath Patil, first year Junior Resident in the Department of Medicine of our Institute, allegedly died by su***de by injecting himself with an anaesthetic drug during duty hours at the Group of TB Hospitals in Sewri on Monday, 31st July.

In view of the unfortunate passing of Dr. Patil, the Institute held a condolence meet, organised by the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors (MARD), led by the Dean Dr. Sangeeta Ravat, the Academic Dean Dr. Harish Pathak and HOD Psychiatry Dr. Neena Sawant. Students and residents shared touching anecdotes about the life of the departed soul. Neena ma’am addressed the students in the beginning and addressed some pressing issues faced by the students. Dean ma’am offered everyone an open-mic, gracefully answering hurting voices in the Institute, courageously facing criticism and sternly promising corrective action against misconduct. Academic Dean promised protection to students who fear persecution for speaking up.
The gathering saw shocking incidents finally surfacing thanks to this initiative.

The gathering continued and ended on a somber note as an unfortunate continuation of a worrying trend in our profession. But hopefully, it will sprout urgently required redressal.

The Larynx offers its sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Patil and prays for peace to his soul.

Heartiest congratulations! 🥳
Team the Larynx’23-24. 📰

The Larynx pays homage to late Dr. Vandana Das, 23 year old on duty doctor at Kottarakkara Government Hospital Taluk, Kollam, Kerala.
A candlelight vigil was held in Seth G S Medical college and KEM Hospital by the doctors, residents, interns and students to pay condolences, near gate no. 1, KEM, at 6:30pm, 11 May, 23.
Dr. Vandana Das who was serving as a house surgeon was brutally stabbed multiple times on 10th May in morning around 4:30 am with scissors by a 42-year-old school teacher S Sandeep, who was brought to the hospital by police for treatment of an wound injury he suffered earlier.
According to the health staff, the assailant Sandeep was under the influence of alcohol and was out of control.
“Sandeep was restless and he jumped out of the dressing bed, shouted at the staff, rushed outside where policeman and Binu, his relative were standing, might have grabbed the scissors from the procedure room, his primary target was his relative, since policeman and home guard tried to stop him, he stabbed policeman” said Jayanthi, a nursing assistant and Rajesh, the ambulance driver.
He then went berserk, attacking anyone he could find, Sandeep inhumanly stabbed Dr. Vandana who froze and couldn’t run and was left alone in room. He was stabbing her in her back even after the doctor collapsed to the floor.
“A comprehensive investigation will be held into the incident, and the government will take strong action in attacks on doctors and healthcare professionals” Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said. [Source: TOI]

The Larynx mourns the tragic death of Dr Vandana and seeks immediate justice for her. The saver is not safe anymore, yearning improvement in the safety and protection of healthcare workers.

The KEM campus echoed with the voices of the demonstrators on the morning of 2nd January as they vocalized the demands of the BMC MARD (Medical Association of Resident Doctors) that had been unaddressed for a long time.

Demands of the resident doctors of MARD:

1. Implementation of Dearness allowance GR at BMC hospitals in stipend and pending areas since 2018.
2. Payment of 8 months of COVID arrears of resident doctors of Nair hospital and 2 months arrears of KEM and Cooper hospital resident doctors.
3. Adequate hostel facilities for the resident doctors of all BMC and GMC Hospitals.
4. Provision of additional 1432 new Senior Resident posts
5. Filling vacancies of associate and assistant professors to overcome shortage of teaching staff
6. Equal pay to all senior resident doctors across all over Maharashtra to remove any discrepancies in pay.

Resident doctors of BMC MARD have put forth these demands to the Government of Maharashtra and the Municipal Corporation on multiple occasions that have not been paid heed to.
Owing to these long pending demands not being addressed, BMC MARD has taken the decision of withdrawal of non-emergency and OPD services from 02/01/2023, 8am onwards.

On World Epilepsy Day on Thursday, KEM Hospital, which is the only public hospital in the state to offer epilepsy surgery at Rs 5,000 as against Rs 4 lakh in the private sector, added two more video EEG (electro encephalograph) machines to strengthen its epilepsy programme.
