Financial Daily from THE HINDU group of publications
Monday, Apr 21, 2003
India took up where the US said `no'. Here's a success story of the Madras Medical Mission that gives this American a new lease on life.  Brennan Bernard Emerson and Dr K.M. Cherian.
Brennan Bernard Emerson had just one word for the American doctors who had backed out of his high-risk mitral valve replacement surgery, "goodbye". Says the 87-year old Canadian born Brennan, "They didn't want to run the risk of operating on me because of my advanced age and complicated medical history." Fortunately for him there was still hope. Half a world away, India's very own Madras Medical Mission (MMM) picked up where the American medics left off. Brennan was successfully operated on by Dr K.M. Cherian and his team; the defective mitral valve replaced with a bio-prosthetic one, and, today, a month after surgery, he is a picture of health and vitality. "I asked them for 15, (valve durability in terms of years), they gave me 10," he laughs.
Brennan's successful surgery is the first instance of an American citizen to have come all the way from America to India for medical help. This, doctors point out could could well make India a prime destination for medical aid with many more such cases likely to come in, provided they are viable. Dr Mullasari Ajit, Senior Consultant Cardiologist, Institute of Cardio-Vascular Diseases (a unit of MMM), says, "We already have quite a number of South African, Sri Lankan and even Pakistani patients. We could have more foreign patients coming in, but for that, the mindset of people outside India has to change to believe that we, as a country, have developed." Adds his colleague Dr Rajan, Senior Consultant, Cardiothoracic Surgery, "As of now we are getting at least a few trainee doctors and we are also seeing a number of patients from the SAARC countries."
Listening to Brennan talk about his medical history with all the bravery of a man who's seen it all (and he has!), it is only too easy to see why his doctors back home had second thoughts about the surgical procedure. A lung operation at the age of 36, to check his silicosis condition, a crucial CABG in 1995 and the insertion of a permanent pacemaker in 2001 — Brennan's medical history couldn't have been more complicated. Then on the recommendation of an Indian friend in the US, he approached MMM. Were doctors there equally daunted? "We made a thorough study of his case to make sure that the cause he cited was the reason for discomfort, informed him of the risks involved and only then did we start the medical procedures," says Dr Rajan.
For Brennan, there was no turning back. "I had made up my mind to do the surgery in India, and if they refused then I was to go to Russia," he says. But why India? Was he so besotted by the sun, the pollution or the screeching serenade of the Chennai traffic? It turns out to be none of these. The problem boiled down to one of sheer figures. "It would be impossible for me to have this kind of service in America unless I was a millionaire," he says. His earlier triple bypass surgeries had already cost him a whopping $40,000. Added to this the much-hyped about system of medicare which barely covered half of the patient's medical expenses and ambulance-chasing lawyers who didn't miss an opportunity to cash in on some easy money, dissuaded both doctors and patients alike from committing to a risky medical operation such as that of Brennan.
By contrast, India with its "more-of-everything" image, "beautiful young nurses" and timely service presented a better option. All of which left Brennan short of a mere $8,000. Would he like to give us an estimate of all this as it would have been back home? Brennan throws up his hands in mock horror. "I don't even want to think about it," he says dismissing the subject.
Incidentally, this is not the first time that Brennan has received medical aid from India and in 1975, he had corrective surgery at the Wellington Hospital, Chennai. And as a deciding authority on the WHO Panel who was involved in the Chennai Metro Water Sewerage Board (1978-1983), he is not a stranger to India either. Quite the globe-trotter, Brennan has been to over 17 countries, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Germany, and he never ceases to regale you with his adventures abroad, where he was involved with water and engineering projects. He's got quite `a lot of guts too' as you realise when he tells you straight-facedly that he `intended to donate my body for medical research should anything were to happen to me'.
So, now that he's sprung back shipshape, will he spread the message back home about India's excellent medical care system and its 20-something nurses? "Unfortunately, few people in America have travelled the world like I have. They think that nothing exists outside of America," is Brennan's wry comment, which underscores Dr Ajit's viewpoint that India will have to do something to spruce up its image. Till that happens, Brennan can hearten shutterbugs while being a symbol of our country's stupendous success. "Hey I hope to be back home before June 14," he chuckles.

15-year-old performs surgery in India
By MUNEEZA NAQVI, Associated Press WriterThu Jun 21, 5:59 PM ET
The 15-year-old son of two doctors performed a filmed Caesarean section birth under his parents' watch in southern India in an apparent bid to gain a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest surgeon.
Instead, the boy's father could be stripped of his licenses and may face criminal charges, officials said Thursday.
Dr. K. Murugesan showed a recording of his son performing a Caesarean section to an Indian Medical Association chapter in the southern state of Tamil Nadu last month, said Dr. Venkatesh Prasad, secretary of the association. The video showed Murugesan anesthetizing the patient.
"We were shocked to see the recording," Prasad told The Associated Press, adding that the IMA told Murugesan that his act was an ethical and legal violation.
Murugesan owns and runs a maternity hospital in the city of Manaparai, Prasad said in a telephone interview from Manaparai. The family could not be immediately reached for comment.
Murugesan, who could possibly be prevented from practicing and face criminal charges for allowing his son to perform the operation, expressed no regret and accused the Manaparai medical association of being "jealous" of his son's achievements, Prasad added.
"He said this was not the first surgery performed by his son and that he had been training him for the last three years," said Prasad.
Murugesan told the medical association that he wanted to see his son's name in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Prasad said that his team had reported the surgery to the state's top medical association in state capital, Chennai.
State health secretary V.K. Subburaj told reporters Thursday that the government would investigate.
"We'll get the report and then we'll see whether there are any violations ... prima facie it looks like there is a big violation," he said.
"We will definitely take action against the concerned medical officers."

 ON ROAD TO RECOVERY: Mohamed Mahmud from Sudan (centre), who underwent a surgery to correct a congenital heart defect in Chennai. Photo: K. Pichumani Online plea saves Sudanese boy Ramya Kannan Mohamed Mahmud was operated upon for a heart defect CHENNAI: Here is proof that the World Wide Web indeed has a heart. A heart that’s warm, welcoming and that will reach out to the needy. Mohamed Mahmud (4), of Sudan, has just been healed, thanks to the long reach of the Internet. It was six months after he was born that doctors discovered that the boy had a congenital heart defect: a hole between the two pumping chambers of the heart. So more blood was rushing into his lungs, raising its pressure. He was breathless, would not feed, was not gaining weight and had palpitations and a lung infection. Little facility It seemed as if it was the end of the road for him, as his father was a labourer earning just enough to keep the family together. Where would he go for the money required to patch up his son’s heart? Treatment in Sudan was out of question as no facilities were available. That meant the boy had to go to Syria, Jordan or Dubai, where the cost would run into several thousand American dollars. But that was until he met a young Sudanese woman at the hospital. When she heard Mahmud’s story and saw the boy listless and crying against his mother’s chest, she decided to get involved. She thought the best idea would be to put the story online ( www.sudaneseonline.com) in the belief that the Sudanese who read it would be moved to save Mahmud. She was dead right. Contributions poured in from the Sudanese. Meanwhile, it was decided to take the boy to India, to Frontier Lifeline Hospital, where the treatment would be good and affordable. A sum of $5,000 and airfare for the boy to travel to India to repair his heart was collected, says Sameer, the boy’s relative, who has accompanied Mahmud and his father, Mahmud Sayed, to Chennai. The pair, who had scarcely ever been out of their Khartoum suburb, took a flight along with Sameer. On Wednesday, when they take a flight back home, Mahmud will be able to walk onto the plane. Perfect timing R. Prem Sekar, interventional paediatric cardiologist, Frontier Lifeline, said the timing was perfect. More delay might have been fatal. A team of surgeons under Dr. Cherian and Christopher Roy, performed the surgery that set Mahmud back on his feet again. Surly at being taken away from his cycle so that photographers could click pictures, the shy boy misses his mother and cannot wait to return home. It is not surprising that the boy who had been given the most precious gift —life— is thinking about taking gifts for friends back home.
