Doctors CME meet on 14 Jan 2017 (Saturday) at
Dr. Sunderlal Memorial Hospital .
- A CME (Continuing Medical Education) meet was held at Dr. Sunder Lal Memorial Hospital
on 14-1-17. The CME meet was themed around two different, but connected branches
of medical science – Infertility and Laparoscopic surgery. In-house doctors Dr.
Roshi Satija and Dr. Anirudh Vij presented their thoughts on Infertility and Laparoscopy,
respectively. More than 50 doctors from Delhi and surrounding area attended the
meeting.
- Dr. Roshi Satija is a seasoned gynecologist and a renowned IVF expert in the capital.
She presented her talk on “When to refer a patient to a fertility specialist”. Being
a serious social issue, infertility in India is viewed in a very weird and sarcastic
way. The patients have to face several adversities and criticism not only from the
society, but also from within the family itself. Dr. Satija emphasized upon the
sensitivity of declaring a couple “Infertile” and also highlighted upon the right
time to declare. For the concerned patients, it is always hard to understand and
accept the lack. She suggested a planned and systematic manner of diagnosis and
analysis to be carried out taking the patients in confidence so that it becomes
easy both for the doctor to share as well as the couple to accept the gap and work
further to achieve the desired.
- Taking on the burning issue of infertility, Dr. Roshi Satija said, “India is not
yet ready to accept infertility as a medical condition. We are surrounded by false
notions and beliefs about childbirth and infertility. Hence, for an infertile couple
it is hard to face the socio-medico-economic stance. We must take a systematic and
procedural step to open up the concern before the patients and their families. Also,
we must take care that they do not get discouraged facing the truth and leave hope
altogether. Infertility is just a medical condition and curable with certain procedures.”
- On the other hand, Dr. Anirudh Vij, who is a famous bariatric surgeon of the country
and a laparoscopic surgery expert, presented his talk titled, “Role of laparoscopy
in modern day surgical practice.” Laparoscopy is a boon to the medical science and
humanity, which has made many critical and life-threatening surgeries easy, simple,
and drastically less painful for the patients. Taking on the occasion, Dr. Vij said,
“Laparoscopy has opened up new hope among the patients. It has now become a very
common way to conduct surgeries and its contribution is treating infertility is
also commendable.” Dr. Vij also showcased the videos on rare and interesting cases
of laparoscopic surgery.
- Dr. Sunder Lal Memorial Hospital holds regular CME meets every month to keep the
knowledge of their consultants up to date. This facilitates a fabulous platform
to exchange and share medical and surgical knowledge and experience. It came out
to be a very lively and friendly gathering for the doctors. The hospital will continue
conducting such events in the future and help the doctors and practitioners in the
region maintain competence and learn about new and developing areas.
