Life is like that. Some are phoney wars. Some are Pyrrhic victories. There is always a lingering sense of an unfinished task. None other than Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had captured it aptly. In his midnight tryst with destiny he admi�ed to redeeming the pledge not wholly or in full measure. And what a nation he made out of it.

After half a decade of struggle that sense of emptiness pervades. Yes, it was an ordinance. True it was on violence. Did they miss the North pole for equator?

Politics is an art of possibilities. Power is just a perception. Did anyone ever thought candles were weapons? For that ma�er salt was not one either.

The Union Home Minister invited IMA for an hour's deliberation. Certainly weather was not the agenda. It was the collective political capital of the profession in display. White Alert and Black Day were just the instruments. It was the finest hour of IMA. Cynics say we were outsmarted. Its the process not the product that tells the story.

The Rules of the game have changed forever. Read the Home Secretary's le�er to the Chief Secretaries. Cudd chew the Wednesday. Intellectual dissection and reading in between the lines will tell you another story. IMA today is pure nascent oxygen. Patience and Perseverance are the nitrogen holding it back. Morning after the storm is always eerie.

Citus Altus Fortius

Yet gentle and soft

We are in rarefied space.

Deservingly so befi�ing our presence in all districts;Only three organisations in India can make the claim.

Good will is power. Encashable anytime. Empowered by destiny.

Power is responsibility. Power is hard work. Power is sacrifice. Power is diligence. Remove them,Power is a mirage.

Ladders and Snakes

IMA National Secretary General's Page

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed?

Not though the soldier knew

Someone had blundered.

Theirs not to make reply,

Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die.

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,

Cannon to left of them,

Cannon in front of them

Volleyed and thundered;

Stormed at with shot and shell,

Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of hell

Rode the six hundred.

When can their glory fade?

O the wild charge they made!

All the world wondered.

Honour the charge they made!

Honour the Light Brigade,

Noble six hundred!

Alfred Lord Tennyson's words chime and resonate true for Covid death of Indian doctors.

He immortalised the sacrifice of the Light Brigade. Like cannon fodder our doctors are left

to face the epidemic. How we wish Lord Tennyson was alive to immortalise their sacrifice.

From the First Contact Doctors to the anaesthetist who pulled out his HFNC to intubate an

unknown patient, they all upheld the tricolour. The best of human beings. The best of

modern medicine. The bullets that fell them fell their families and children as well. They

fell so that the tricolour can flutter. They fell for their motherland.

The unsung Heroes of Kargil 2.0 : Their unsung sacrifice is to stop the unseen enemy.

India counted its Kargil Heroes. The neighbour didn't. They never owned their soldiers.

What a fall my countrymen. We don't count our doctors and nurses who made the

supreme sacrifice in their line of duty. They are not even numbers. Just because they chose

to be independent in practice. They are mercenaries. Expendable.

Still they fight. The young and the seniors. The Case Fatality Rate of India is1.7. The best

in the world. The ministry wears it as golden cuff links. CFR of Indian doctors is ten times

high. Throw them to the wolves. They are mercenaries. Expendable.

Our boys and girls, freshly out of medical colleges sweat it out in Covid ICUs. Unpaid and

Unsung. Even the innocent students have been pressed into service. Deadlines and

targets drove a doctor to suicide. He worked for five months into the pandemic without a

break not even seeing his child. 24 X7 Covid control from ac rooms is not the same as 24X7

Covid care in the field.

Never say die. Monsters out there still assault and troll. The Governments don't count our

dead. Still the passion reigns. To be a doctor is a calling. It takes Himalayan courage to

report for duty after recovering from Covid. Indian doctors have done that in hundreds.

Keep the passion. Art of medicine or science of medicine : we are the best.

Dear leaders of IMA,

Greetings from IMA KSB

The term of office for most of us will be over in 2 months. Each of you have

many responsibilities to complete. The strength of any association depends on the

number of members. Please enrol maximum members during the next 2 months.

Also ensure their membership in schemes. The election process of branches should

be completed by this month and see that new office bearers are installed soon. Make

sure to follow all Covid protocols during the installation process. Let's set an example

for others. The public shouldn't be criticizing IMA members. Let's aim at organizing

virtual meetings in all branches including Executive Commi�ee meetings. The only

option in front of us is to coexist with corona.

Please follow the guidelines given by State HQ. Feel free to contact SP/SS in

case you need any clarifications. The branch officials should ensure that information

from HQ reaches out to all members during the branch meetings. Remember you are

part of the biggest professional organization, the Indian Medical Association.

We sincerely thank all State council members who participated in the Special

Virtual State Council meetings held on 16th September, 2020. This is a first in the

history of State IMA. We thank you all for your sincere support and help to uphold

the IMA KSB as a single unit. So as decided in the State Council meeting, those

elected in the last State Council will continue for one more year.

Let's support each other during this period of crisis. Its the unity that ma�ers

now. Please do a li�le more each day With...

From the Editor’s Desk...

Dear colleagues,

This IMA year was different in so many ways. The commitment to its members

and the society was the hallmark of IMA Kerala State branch this year. We were active

in preparing the public and equipping ourselves to fight Covid. The guidelines for the

public and the Infection Prevention and Control measures to the HCWs were

effectively implemented and the effort continues. With the increase in the spread of the

disease, it is extremely important that we take adequate protection measures while

treating the patients.

Seniors among us may remain in reverse quarantine or if practicing should be

with adequate protection. N95 face mask, Face shield and hand gloves are mandatory

and strict infection control measures at the premises to be carried out frequently. Let's

protect ourselves to protect the society. We are making opportunities out of

adversities. Most of the branches are conducting GB on virtual platform, keeping

abreast the development in modern medicine. Covid is to stay in the community and

we'll have to live with it.

The strength of any association is the increase in its membership. Active

campaign is necessary to receive every modern medicine doctor into our fold. Scheme

membership also has to be increased. Health scheme has done the campaign in a very

effective manner and the dividend is being received. Other Schemes can also design

their campaign for effective addition of members. An extra effort can fetch more and

more.

We did this year in a different way, due to the pandemic. We did whatever we

can under the adverse circumstances. We have to reiterate self protection so that we

can serve the society.

With warm regards

Letter�to�Chief�MinisterIMA‐KSB Ethics Committee

It is noted that incidences of violation of medical ethics areescalatingat

disconcerting rates in the state. The ethics committee has been frequently

receiving complaints about doctors engaging in improper advertisements with

photographs, and unrecognized qualifications..

These are gross violations of Section 6.1.1of the Code of Ethics of IMC

Regulations, 2002,( “…a physician shall not make use of his/her name as subject

of any form or manner of advertising or publicity through any mode either alone

or in conjunction with others ... as to invite attention to him or to his professional

position, skill, qualification ...”) and 6.1.2 (Printing of self photograph, or any

such material of publicityshall be regarded as acts of self advertisement and

unethical conduct).

Furthermore, TCMC has stipulated that :

“Practitioner shall display as suffix to their names only recognized medical

degrees, and any additional qualification not registered in TCMC should not

be exhibited in letter pads and name boards”.Violations of this code may lead

to punitive action..

MCI's Code of Ethics is specifically binding on the doctors and not the

hospitals. So even if it is the hospital which is advertising, the practitioner alone

will be held liable for the violation of medical ethics. It is the duty of the doctors

to ensure that their employer does not use their photographs and unrecognized

degrees.

A medical practitioner is permitted only to make a formal announcement in

presson starting practice, changing type & address of practice, and about

temporary absence from duty.

In this context, the members are notified that the IMA State Ethics

committee is bound to bring such violations as mentioned above, to the TCMC,

which may result in dire consequences. Offences are being frequently penalized

violations of medical ethics, so that the number of such incidences comes down in

future.by IMC and TCMC, with punishments from censure to temporary

suspension of registration.

Hence all members are hereby cautioned to keep away from such
