I have hung up my uniform after serving Indian Army Medical Corps for 33 years on 31 July 2015. But I kept my uniform and my boots very carefully so that I can report for duty if there's an emergency. During 1992-95, I had served at Poonch sector of Jammu & Kashmir as Anaesthesiologist. I can never forget, on many occasions, I had to give anaesthesia to an unknown person injured at the border, brought to me for treatment. Many a times, we were pleasantly surprised to know during interrogations that the injured person on whom we operated all through the night to save his life was actually a Pakistani. Well, we never felt guilty that we saved a Pakistani who was found injured at the LOC, we are trained to save lives...that's all. Frankly, all doctors, whether they are from Army or from civil, they are trained to save lives...no doctor would ever harm you knowingly...trust me. It pains me a lot when I see doctors are being harmed and being hit by a patient or a patient's relatives for none of their faults. Please don't do such things, Doctor would definitely forgive you, but God may not...trust me. Col Pradeep Pendyala, Anaesthesiologist.
