On Monday and tuesday, 24th and 25th june approximately 1,000 junior doctors from Gandhi Hospital and Osmania General Hospital, along with around 6,000 junior doctors statewide, commenced a strike, impacting medical services across Telangana. Despite assurances from non-striking medical staff that hospital operations remained unaffected, outpatient services, elective surgeries, and ward duties were boycotted as part of the protest. Emergency services continued without disruption.

 

Dr. G Sai Sri Harsha, President of the Telangana Junior Doctors Association (T-JUDA), stated that the strike would persist into Tuesday, emphasizing the government's delay in addressing their demands, which could be swiftly resolved with committed action. Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha later met with the junior doctors and announced the issuance of a Budget Release Order for stipends in the 2024-25 period, subject to periodic review and adjustments.

 

Addressing security concerns, the Director of Medical Education (DME), Dr. N Vani, was directed to discuss the deployment of the Special Protection Force (SPF) with the home department. Minister Narasimha also reiterated the government's commitment to construct a new building at Osmania General Hospital. However, issues regarding new hostel facilities at Kakatiya Medical College Warangal and the deployment of security forces remained unresolved.

 

Despite the financial relief of Rs 406 crore allocated by Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka to the DME, ensuring adequate funding for the department, junior doctors insisted that their strike would continue until stipends were consistently credited on time. Their demand for the implementation of a "green channel" for prompt stipend payments echoed throughout their protest.

 

At Osmania Medical College, the slogan "Marpu Kavali, Green Channel Implementation Ravali" resonated among the striking doctors, underscoring their persistence for administrative reform. The strike's continuation hinges on further dialogue and concrete action from the government to meet their demands effectively.

In a landmark achievement, doctors at the Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai announced the successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedure on a 72-year-old American man, weighing a remarkable 193 kg. This groundbreaking surgery marks a significant milestone as the heaviest patient ever to undergo such a procedure globally. TKR stands as a transformative intervention for individuals grappling with excruciating knee pain, offering them renewed mobility and an improved quality of life. However, for overweight individuals, accessing this treatment presents formidable challenges due to heightened surgical risks and technical intricacies.

According to the surgical team, led by Dr. Rajesh Nawalkar, Senior Consultant in Orthopaedics, every patient's unique circumstances demand a tailored approach to surgery. By meticulously customizing their techniques and collaborating closely with fellow medical professionals, they successfully navigated the complexities posed by the patient's weight, culminating in a triumphant outcome. Among the foremost hurdles encountered in TKR for overweight patients are the elevated risks associated with anesthesia and the heightened potential for embolism. This underscores the importance of precision and vigilance in addressing the specific needs of each patient to ensure optimal results and minimize complications.

Furthermore, the conventional use of a tourniquet, a standard protocol in TKR surgeries, presents technical challenges due to the patient's larger thigh circumference, heightening the risk of tissue damage and post-operative complications. In response to these challenges, Dr. Nawalkar collaborated closely with instrument manufacturers to devise specialized instruments tailored to accommodate the patient's unique anatomy, thereby ensuring optimal surgical outcomes. Additionally, meticulous preoperative assessments and consultations were conducted to ascertain the patient's readiness and obtain informed consent.

Richard Koszarek, the patient, underwent the surgery on January 7, 2024, with no reported complications during the procedure. However, the path to recovery was equally crucial, with rehabilitation playing a pivotal role in achieving successful outcomes. Despite facing reluctance from numerous doctors in India and abroad due to his weight, Richard expressed gratitude to the surgical team for their unwavering commitment and skillful intervention, which enabled him to regain mobility and resume an active lifestyle.
