IMA Coimbatore Branch
13th April 10
Dear Doctors,
Greetings ! Eagerly awaited representation against proposed
hike in electricity rate to Electricity Regulatory Commission
was successfully done on 13th April . KMCH, PSG Hospitals,
Ashwin Hospital, GKNM Hospital etc. played a major role
in sending nearly 10,000 petitions against the proposed
hike, from Coimbatore. Nearly 300 of our fraternity &
students from PPG, KMCH, IMA & various hospitals were
present personally on 13th April to voice our representation
with the TNERC. We have insisted that Health care sector
should not be considered as commercial & should give
concession on par with Industries. When cinema halls,
studios etc who are for entertainment can enjoy the benefits
why not Health care professionals, who sacrifice their
entertainments etc., for the benefit of the public should
not get the benefits. Anyway we have done our best of
efforts to represent to the TNERC. It is upto them to
realize the fact & act.
This month we have an interesting CME programme on Identifying
‘Skull Base Tumors’ quite early in our clinic.
All giddiness is not due to ‘VERTIGO’. Similarly
EEG Phenobarbitone & Epsolin alone is not the management
for Epilepsy. There are much more in diagnosing and treating
Epilepsy. Please don’t miss the opportunity on 18th
April evening 6.15 p.m. onwards, when Dr.J.K.B.C. Parthiban
and Dr.Dinesh Nayak of Global Hospitals & Health City
will be elaborating on this. Dr.S.Nagarajan Pulmonologist
will conduct 20-20 pulmonology quiz in the Interesting
case of this month session & you may be the winner
of the prize.
I take this opportunity to inform that four of our Branch
doctors have been selected to deliver various Orations
in the forthcoming “ERODIAMOND’ 2010 –
Tamil Nadu State IMA Conference at Erode during April
24th, 25th. I request you all to register for the conference
in good numbers so that we can show our strength at State
level.
With warm regards,
Long live IMA!! Unity
is strength!! R.A.K.RAVIKUMAR,
MS, FAIS.,
Secretary-IMA.
