Many of us - especially heads - live in our ivory towers. Take the Chief of Radiology for example - never stops boasting of the "State of the Art" equipment ; a fully networked department- reasonably staffed with faculty and residents - purported to be one of the best teaching departments; high volume of patient load, great interventional work, good library and paper publishing record. Looks impressive; many outside KEM believe and think so. But Alas!, here at home in KEM as I listen carefully to my close friends- I realize the harsh reality - poor quality x rays; bad patient scheduling; wrong procedure reports; a mad-house called "USG"; lack of rapport of faculty with colleagues from other departments; Ravi is impossible to find… the list is endless. But could there be such a stark difference between one's vision and the others' perception?
