Military Hospital Agra Days

 Lieutenant Akshit ( name changed to protect identify please 🙂) I was posted at Military Hospital Agra in 1995 and was staying at officers' Mess along with my family before allotment of a permanent accommodation). I was working there as graded specialist in Anesthesiology. Life was going on as usual. Lieutenant Akshit was posted there along with three more interns from Armed Forces Medical College for their one year internship. I was a bit close to all of them. One of them was Lieutenant Pipariya ... He's excellent in Surgery... I always encouraged him to do more surgery under supervision of the Senior Surgeon Wg Cdr Ray. I must have given myself anaesthesia to many cases operated upon by lieutenant Pipariya under supervision of senior surgeon of course. Much later, after many years, I came to know that Lieutenant Pipariya opted for some other branch other than surgery... I was hugely disappointed. Well that's life. To make my Blog a bit interesting let me share with you one more incidence of the same period. As I have mentioned earlier about Lieutenant Akshit, it's related to him. Even in those days, I was very good at Mimicry. I called lieutenant Akshit on landline once posing as a reporter of Dainik Bhaskar who wants to interview him on his fabulous work at military hospital Agra. He's convinced that I was actually a reporter. Next day, we were all getting ready in the morning to go to the hospital for work but Lieutenant Akshit was well dressed and waiting eagerly to meet the Dainik Bhaskar reporter 🙂Col Pradeep Pendyaja... This blog is only in a lighter vein please 🙏🏼🙏🏼

PS. Lieutenant Akshit ( name changed please) is presently a well known Dermatologist at AFMC Pune 🙂
