ITS BEEN A WHILE WHEN I LAST POSTED SOMETHING ON THIS BLOG.THE REASON IS I WAS AWAY TO GERMANY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.
GERMANY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT WHEN IT COMES TO QUALITY OF LIFE.GERMANS ARE OBSESSED WITH CLEANLINESS AND CRAVE FOR PERFECTION ALL THE TIME.THEY ARE THE ECONOMIC GIANTS OF EUROPE FOR MANY MANY YEARS NOW.HAVING SAID THAT ONE SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE KIND OF EFFORT THEY HAVE PUT IN TO REBUILD IT AFTER THE WORLD WAR.I HAD BEEN TO GERMANY BEFORE IN 2007 FOR 3 MONTHS AS AN OVERSEAS TRAINEE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF VASCULAR SURGERY IN RENDSBURG.THE EXPERIENCE THAT TIME WAS VERY GOOD BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IT WAS EVEN BETTER THIS TIME AROUND.I WAS IN ONE OF THE LEADING UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS THERE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS.THE PURPOSE OF THE VISIT WAS TO FOCUS ON ADVANCED VASCULAR STUFF LIKE THORACO-ABDOMINAL ANEURYSM REPAIRS,AORTIC STENTING AT ANY AND EVERY LEVEL AND SOME PARTICULAR PERIPHERAL VASCULAR PROCEDURES.I NOT ONLY SAW THESE PROCEDURES IN PLENTY BUT ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE LUNG TRANSPLANTS WHICH IS A BIG BONUS. I REALLY HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE PARTICIPATING IN THE DEPARTMENTAL ACTIVITIES STARTING FROM THE MORNING SESSIONS WHICH USED TO BE A PLEASANT INTERACTION BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND THE STUDENTS AND ENDING UP IN THE OPERATING ROOMS.FANTASTIC GUYS WITH FANTASTIC TEMPERAMENT .ALOT TO LEARN FROM THEM.
THE PROPOSAL IS ON FOR A STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM OR A SHORT FELLOWSHIP.THOUGH EARLY DAYS BUT WE WILL MAKE IT FOR SURE IN ALL PROBABILITY BY NEXT YEAR.I THINK WE STAND TO BENEFIT IMMENSELY FROM THIS AS THE YOUNG AND SEEMINGLY YOUNG VASCULAR SURGEONS FROM INDIA WILL GET A PLATFORM TO INTERACT WITH THEM ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS AND SEE QUALITY WORK.
