"How do I find a 'good' specialist?"

"How do I find a 'good' specialist?" As a doctor, this is the question I am asked most frequently. Whether it’s for a cardiologist, an orthopedician, or a fellow neurologist, everyone wants the "best." But how do you actually measure a doctor’s quality? Most people look at the wrong things, or things they simply can’t verify. Here is a breakdown of what matters, what doesn't, and what is usually hidden. 1. The "Hidden" Metrics (The Black Box) We often wish we knew a doctor's NEET rankings, MBBS marks, or specific awards won during training. While these show academic brilliance, this data is rarely in the public domain. Similarly, success rates and the exact number of procedures performed are hard to find. These are "nice to haves," but you likely won't find them on a website. 2. The "Visible" Stats Years of experience is the one thing almost everyone knows. It’s a solid baseline, but remember: 30 years of experience doing the same thing poorly isn't better than 10 years of staying at the cutting edge of science. 3. The "Social Proof" Trap Google Reviews: Proceed with caution. Fake reviews (both glowing and bitter) are everywhere. Word-of-Mouth: This is the gold standard. A recommendation from a patient who had a similar condition is worth ten 5-star Google ratings. 4. The "Proxy" Metrics (Do they equal quality?) High Fees: Does a higher consultation fee mean a better doctor? Not necessarily. It often just reflects the hospital's overhead or the doctor's seniority. Long Wait Times: A crowded OPD might mean the doctor is popular, but it can also mean they are overbooked and rushed. Appointment Difficulty: Sometimes the "best" doctor is just the one with the best marketing. 5. The Real "Gold Standard": The Consultation This is where you truly find out if a doctor is right for you. A great specialist is defined by: Listening: Do they let you finish your sentences? Explaining: Can they explain your diagnosis without using jargon? Time: Do they spend enough time to address your concerns, or are they looking at the door? Access: Are they reachable in an emergency? While not every doctor can give out a personal cell number, having a clear channel for follow-ups is a huge green flag. ✅The Bottom Line: A degree from a top college and 20 years of experience gets a doctor in the door, but communication, empathy, and the ability to listen are what make them a great physician. How do you decide which doctor to trust? Dr Sudhir Kumar

Do not return to the place where you once found happiness.

Do not return to the place where you once found happiness. It is often a trap set by nostalgia. Everything will have changed — the places, the faces… and you as well. Trying to relive the same moments, the same feelings, is chasing shadows. Time, merciless, will have erased what once made you smile. Keep those memories intact in your heart, as one keeps a precious photograph. But do not try to go back there. Life moves forward. It invites you to discover new horizons, to meet new souls, to create new moments of joy. What once made you happy is not behind you… It may still be waiting for you ahead, a little further on.” ✍️ Robert De Niro #fblifestyle

Story of a Modern Karna.

Story of a Modern Karna. In Mahabharat Karna was secretly born to an unmarried Kunti in her teenage years, and fearing outrage and backlash from society she abandoned the child , instantly . Till the out break of the epic war Karna was ignorant of the identity of his real mother. Here is a prototype modern story of another Karna . Born out of wedlock and abandoned as a three-day-old baby in Nagpur, Falgun Binnendijk, now Mayor of Heemstede in the Netherlands, has come to India in search of his biological mother. Forty years on, he came to the city of his birth for the third time, hoping to trace his mother who left him at an Orphanage . He was adopted by a Dutch couple . Raised in the Netherlands, Falgun went on to build a life defined by public service, eventually entering politics and being elected Mayor of Heemstede, 30km off Amsterdam. He first visited India in 2006, when he was 18 years old. He travelled as a tourist, exploring the country, including south India. Falgun says he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "People would walk up to me and start speaking in Hindi. They assumed I was Indian." That trip planted a deeper curiosity about his origins. For several years, the curiosity remained alive, until Falgun finally felt the calling. Another major catalyst was his reading of the Mahabharata, in which the character of Karna and his relationship with Kunti held a special place in his heart. "Every Karna deserves and must have the right to meet his Kunti," he says.However, the search for his roots remained unresolved. During this visit, govt officials and his team led by a senior district administration official, traced a retired nurse who worked in the orphanage at the time of his birth and had given him his name. . But he is still away from tracing his mother and thus the search for Kunti by Karna is incomplete.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK FAITH

Good Morning!!! God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and Wisdom to know the difference. Thy will, not mine, be done. *~*~*~*~*^Daily Reflections^*~*~*~*~* January 19, 2026 ROUND-THE-CLOCK FAITH Faith has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish. ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p.16 The essence of my spiritually, and my sobriety, rests on a round-the-clock faith in a Higher Power. I need to remember and rely on the God of my understanding as I pursue all of my daily activities. How comforting for me is the concept that God works in and through people. As I pause in my day, do I recall specific concrete examples of God’s presence? Am I amazed and uplifted, by the number of times this power is evident? I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my God’s presence in my life of recovery. Without this omnipotent force in my every activity, I would again fall into the depths of my disease – and death. ********************************************** After The "Honeymoon" "For most of us, the first years of A.A. are something like a honeymoon. There is a new and potent reason to stay alive, joyful activity aplenty. For a time, we are diverted from the main life problems. That is all to the good. "But when the honeymoon has worn off, we are obliged to take our lumps, like other people . This is where the testing starts. Maybe the group has pushed us onto the side lines. Maybe difficulties have intensified at home, or in the world outside. Then the old behavior patterns reappear. How well we recognize and deal with them reveals the extent of our progress." The wise have always known that no one can make much of his life until self-searching becomes a regular habit, until he is able to admit and accept what he finds, and until he patiently and persistently tries to correct what is wrong. 1.

*Celebrating of ages 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100*

*Celebrating of ages 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100* Someone once asked me: “Why do we celebrate ages like 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 so grandly? Are these numbers spiritual, or are they just cultural traditions?” The answer lies in a powerful story from the Mahabharata—the story of King Yayati. Yayati lived life to the fullest—power, pleasures, success, everything. But when old age suddenly arrived, it shook him deeply. After deep reflection, he realized a profound truth: “Pleasure has limits, but desire never ends.” This single realization transformed his life. He accepted old age and explained that life has five inner turning points—not based on age, but on understanding. Remarkably, these five turning points align with the traditional Indian milestones of 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 years. Let us understand them in simple terms. *60 – Shashti* The mind shifts from accumulation to understanding Around 60, something changes—not in the body, but in priorities. The question “How much more can I get?” slowly fades, and “What truly matters now?” takes its place. Introspection begins. Noise, applause, and external validation are no longer needed. Clarity is what one seeks. This is not decline—it is maturity catching up with ambition. *70 – Bheemaratha Shanthi* Peace feels more powerful than proving a point In the 40s and 50s, we explain ourselves to the world. At 70, a quiet shift occurs. You no longer react instantly. Arguments lose their attraction. Preserving relationships matters more than winning debates. One realizes: Being peaceful is more valuable than being right. That is why the 70th year is celebrated. *80 – Sathabhishekam* Your presence itself becomes healing At 80, people don’t come seeking advice. They come seeking something deeper— the reassurance that life can be lived, processed, and understood. At this age, your presence becomes a blessing. Words are no longer necessary. Your very being says: “Everything was okay. Life finds its way.” That is why 80 is considered sacred. *90 – Navathi* The ego quietly retires At 90, something rare happens. You no longer feel the urge to correct people. You don’t cling to opinions. Things are not taken personally. You are not easily hurt. Not because of weakness— but because life has already shown you enough. Petty matters no longer deserve your energy. A gentle stillness settles in. This humility is true spirituality. *100 – Shatamanam* Life moves beyond personal stories Reaching 100 is not just about the number of years. It is a state where the larger picture becomes visible. You realize that many of the worries you carried were unnecessary. The love you gave was what truly mattered. And life was always being held by a mysterious, compassionate force. At 100, a person becomes less of an individual and more of a presence. *Essence* Our sages did not celebrate age. They celebrated the inner transformation that comes with age. • 60 – Priorities shift • 70 – Peace becomes strength • 80 – Presence becomes healing • 90 – Ego dissolves quietly • 100 – Life reaches completion Age is not deterioration. Age is a filtration process— through which wisdom, gentleness, and grace remain. *Thought for the Day* Growing older does not mean life is reducing; it means life is becoming purer, wiser, and gentler.
