^Fifteen or twenty years ago - things at our hospital were not as bad. We had more people around, material was more easily available; the hospital was run by the administration and not by the unions and politicians as it probably is now. Even then, many of us strongly felt that there was a need to change the system of medical staffing so as to retain people. At that time, some of us spear-headed a movement -one of the many thus far- to allow full timers private practice.

All supported it - we swore by it. However, one man - one of the most respected in the campus - Sunil Pandya - the Chief of Neurosurgery - strongly opposed it. We adored "SKP"; he liked us a lot; he knew we were the future of KEM; he supported us in all our endeavors. But this time around it was a firm "NO".
