When i went to trichy I was talking with a friend, one of the dedicated PTs in pediatrics. If it was any other country the man could have been hailed as a innovator in bringing leisure activities in children with disabilities. I usual dont say someone is doing good work- as find in our country if you do your work it is such a outlier people think they should be great, I dont. You can disagree, thats okay.
I met B!@#$ when i went to deliver my yearly lecture in neuro-rehab at my alma matter- what a honor going back to where you read and now say "well all those are wrong". Any how- every year i go and Bala will invariably come- listen, answer question, not show anything when i say - thats not the right answer. From my personal change- if you are not willing to get your ego hurt you are not learning- you are in a echo chamber.
After years- discussions with him- i know it sounds patronizing- but became mature. He was eager and was studying and doing course which most of paeds PTs dont. I mean most of them are idiots who learn NDT and think thats PT- sorry dear that is some wonderfully useless cow urine. He became well versed in classification to to the "f" word in paeds- no no not the f word which came to your mind- f for family.
This alone is impressive- but as i said i think these are just the basics- i appreciate someone doing it- but thats not still makes you a real PT in my books. Some years back he called me and said he is going to organize cricket for children with cerebral palsy. I was completely floored. What a great idea- what a innovative thinking from the Childs point of view. You know the IITs come up with some innovations and it will be in papers and all- but if you see the project it will mostly be vanity project with zero inputs from patients. But this was a truly proper patient value based activity.
I am not going into the details- you need to talk to him understand the hard work and thinking he put into it. He has a team- so he himself will tell you it is not just him- that again a hall mark of a PT who works for patients.
Well enough with B!@#, This blog is not about his achievements alone. The problem is with why have none of your heard about any of this. There is a uneducated idiot who teaches NDT and he is treated as some sort of "expert" basically because he learnt and works in white country. Why have you not learnt any thing in cp management which is useful- what you learn in college or in NDT workshop people like asha teach is used toilet paper.
Why dont we in TN call him for lectures and his idea? Even useless colleges from Madurai to Madras dont invite experts from TN. They want someone who is not from TN and preferably from other state so that they can call it national level seminar or conference. Then we have colleges like SRMC, savitha, and others who pretend to be a university will never call anyone who does not work in a college. Why? what do you mean why? then he will come and talk and he will not call me to his college- has he has no college- as a expert or as a examiner- he has zero value. Call someone from punjab or mumbai- they will call me back and i can say i was invited to talk- do you think otherwise anyone wants to hear what rubbish i have to say? come on man last time i opened a book from 1990 and say the last patient when i went to canteen and got a glimpse of the waiting room.
We have courage less lions, with deep seated insecurity- who dont want to promote anyone from our state- but like the useless women cell of TN call the "president" of the cell to talk and also the whole of IAP conference by the TNIAP- most of the speakers were even good enough to speak in kindergarden school for the hearing impaired. And then there are the SIP guys- they all come in suit and they all shit like its iap national conference- just the attire is different. Same is true in movies also- just look at the new mani movie- every tamil king looks like he has never seen the son and all the women look like a advert for fair and lovely - but there i can understand mani only concern is money, but we should be more than that.
So have some courage- promote local talent- find people who work for the patient. Not some idiot with a useless certificate. you can put national in anything, dont worry. I know no one will call you as a expert- thats okay dear, we know you are not, you also know it- why do you want it to be known to all the students also. Students - poor students- you are all fucked- nothing is going to change you are going to listen to idiots - o well i completely forgot you are never inside the conference halls and sleep at the CME
