Pune: On Monday, resident doctors at the Post Graduate Institute-Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (PGI-YCMH) in Pimpri initiated a strike after relatives of a patient attacked a few junior resident doctors. This strike impacted the outpatient department (OPD) and emergency services at PGI-YCMH, which is under the management of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), according to officials. According to officials, the incident took place around 12:40 am on Monday in the hospital's emergency ward. Pimpri police reported that the accused, identified as Sharvin Norman Arlen, 23, and his father, Norman Lairus Arlen, 48, residents of Moshi, accompanied the patient, Riya Patil, an assault victim, to PGI-YCMH. They urged the treating doctor, Dr. Naresh Shivanand Anjanadevi, to document serious injuries on paper, but Dr. Anjanadevi recommended a CT scan to assess the severity of Patil's injuries. The father-son duo became agitated when they refused to undergo the CT scan and assaulted Dr. Anjanadevi. Police Sub-Inspector Ganesh Aatwe, stationed at the Pimpri police station, stated that Dr. Anjanadevi was slapped during the altercation, and when Dr. Atharva Kokaje attempted to intervene, the father-son duo proceeded to throttle him. "The duo has been charged under sections 353, 323, 504, 506, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Both accused have been arrested and presented in court. The court has remanded them to police custody for a day, and further investigation is ongoing," Aatwe reported. Dr. Anjanadevi and Dr. Kokaje, both junior resident doctors at PGI-YCMH, were involved in the altercation. Subsequently, around 120 resident doctors at the hospital initiated a strike from 9:30 am on Monday, urging for a comprehensive revamp of security protocols within the hospital premises. Dr. Anjanadevi has filed an FIR at the Pimpri police station concerning the matter. Dr. Rajendra Wabale, the dean of PGI-YCMH, mentioned that in response to the incident, resident doctors have initiated a strike, and efforts are being made by authorities to persuade them to return to their duties. "We are implementing security enhancements, including the recruitment of additional security personnel at the hospital. Senior resident doctors have been enlisted to minimize inconvenience to patients during the strike," Dr. Wabale stated.

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.
