                   Half a league, half a league,
                     Half a league onward,
                    All in the valley of Death
                     Rode the six hundred.
                  “Forward, the Light Brigade!
                  Charge for the guns!” he said.
                    Into the valley of Death
                     Rode the six hundred.

                  “Forward, the Light Brigade!”
                   Was there a man dismayed?
                   Not though the soldier knew
                    Someone had blundered.
                    Theirs not to make reply,

KARGIL 2.0          Theirs not to reason why,
                    Theirs but to do and die.
                     Into the valley of Death
                      Rode the six hundred.

                    Cannon to right of them,
                     Cannon to left of them,
                    Cannon in front of them
                    Volleyed and thundered;
                 Stormed at with shot and shell,
                   Boldly they rode and well,
                     Into the jaws of Death,
                     Into the mouth of hell
                     Rode the six hundred.

                   When can their glory fade?
                  O the wild charge they made!
                    All the world wondered.
                  Honour the charge they made!
                   Honour the Light Brigade,
                       Noble six hundred!

Alfred Lord Tennyson's words chime and resonate true for Covid death of Indian doctors.
He immortalised the sacrifice of the Light Brigade. Like cannon fodder our doctors are left
to face the epidemic. How we wish Lord Tennyson was alive to immortalise their sacrifice.
From the First Contact Doctors to the anaesthetist who pulled out his HFNC to intubate an
unknown patient, they all upheld the tricolour. The best of human beings. The best of
modern medicine. The bullets that fell them fell their families and children as well. They
fell so that the tricolour can flutter. They fell for their motherland.

The unsung Heroes of Kargil 2.0 : Their unsung sacrifice is to stop the unseen enemy.
India counted its Kargil Heroes. The neighbour didn't. They never owned their soldiers.
What a fall my countrymen. We don't count our doctors and nurses who made the
supreme sacrifice in their line of duty. They are not even numbers. Just because they chose
to be independent in practice. They are mercenaries. Expendable.

Still they fight. The young and the seniors. The Case Fatality Rate of India is1.7. The best
in the world. The ministry wears it as golden cuff links. CFR of Indian doctors is ten times
high. Throw them to the wolves. They are mercenaries. Expendable.

Our boys and girls, freshly out of medical colleges sweat it out in Covid ICUs. Unpaid and
Unsung. Even the innocent students have been pressed into service. Deadlines and
targets drove a doctor to suicide. He worked for five months into the pandemic without a
break not even seeing his child. 24 X7 Covid control from ac rooms is not the same as 24X7
Covid care in the field.

Never say die. Monsters out there still assault and troll. The Governments don't count our
dead. Still the passion reigns. To be a doctor is a calling. It takes Himalayan courage to
report for duty after recovering from Covid. Indian doctors have done that in hundreds.
Keep the passion. Art of medicine or science of medicine : we are the best.

President’s Column

                           Do a little more each day than you think you possibly can.
Dear leaders of IMA,
                              Greetings from IMA KSB
       The term of office for most of us will be over in 2 months. Each of you have
many responsibilities to complete. The strength of any association depends on the
number of members. Please enrol maximum members during the next 2 months.
Also ensure their membership in schemes. The election process of branches should
be completed by this month and see that new office bearers are installed soon. Make
sure to follow all Covid protocols during the installation process. Let's set an example
for others. The public shouldn't be criticizing IMA members. Let's aim at organizing
virtual meetings in all branches including Executive Commi ee meetings. The only
option in front of us is to coexist with corona.
       Please follow the guidelines given by State HQ. Feel free to contact SP/SS in
case you need any clarifications. The branch officials should ensure that information
from HQ reaches out to all members during the branch meetings. Remember you are
part of the biggest professional organization, the Indian Medical Association.
       We sincerely thank all State council members who participated in the Special
Virtual State Council meetings held on 16th September, 2020. This is a first in the
history of State IMA. We thank you all for your sincere support and help to uphold
the IMA KSB as a single unit. So as decided in the State Council meeting, those
elected in the last State Council will continue for one more year.
       Let's support each other during this period of crisis. Its the unity that ma ers
now. Please do a li le more each day With...

                    ❤ Caring Minds ....... Healing Hands ✋

Dr. Abraham Varghese
State President

From the Editor’s Desk...

Dear colleagues,
        This IMA year was different in so many ways. The commitment to its members
and the society was the hallmark of IMA Kerala State branch this year. We were active
in preparing the public and equipping ourselves to fight Covid. The guidelines for the
public and the Infection Prevention and Control measures to the HCWs were
effectively implemented and the effort continues. With the increase in the spread of the
disease, it is extremely important that we take adequate protection measures while
treating the patients.
        Seniors among us may remain in reverse quarantine or if practicing should be
with adequate protection. N95 face mask, Face shield and hand gloves are mandatory
and strict infection control measures at the premises to be carried out frequently. Let's
protect ourselves to protect the society. We are making opportunities out of
adversities. Most of the branches are conducting GB on virtual platform, keeping
abreast the development in modern medicine. Covid is to stay in the community and
we'll have to live with it.
        The strength of any association is the increase in its membership. Active
campaign is necessary to receive every modern medicine doctor into our fold. Scheme
membership also has to be increased. Health scheme has done the campaign in a very
effective manner and the dividend is being received. Other Schemes can also design
their campaign for effective addition of members. An extra effort can fetch more and
more.
        We did this year in a different way, due to the pandemic. We did whatever we
can under the adverse circumstances. We have to reiterate self protection so that we
can serve the society.
                                     With warm regards
                                        Yours in IMA
                                                                       Dr. P.Gopikumar

IMA‐KSB Ethics Committee
       It is noted that incidences of violation of medical ethics areescalatingat
disconcerting rates in the state. The ethics committee has been frequently
receiving complaints about doctors engaging in improper advertisements with
photographs, and unrecognized qualifications..
       These are gross violations of Section 6.1.1of the Code of Ethics of IMC
Regulations, 2002,( “…a physician shall not make use of his/her name as subject
of any form or manner of advertising or publicity through any mode either alone
or in conjunction with others ... as to invite attention to him or to his professional
position, skill, qualification ...”) and 6.1.2 (Printing of self photograph, or any
such material of publicityshall be regarded as acts of self advertisement and
unethical conduct).
       Furthermore, TCMC has stipulated that :
“Practitioner shall display as suffix to their names only recognized medical
degrees, and any additional qualification not registered in TCMC should not
be exhibited in letter pads and name boards”.Violations of this code may lead
to punitive action..
       MCI's Code of Ethics is specifically binding on the doctors and not the
hospitals. So even if it is the hospital which is advertising, the practitioner alone
will be held liable for the violation of medical ethics. It is the duty of the doctors
to ensure that their employer does not use their photographs and unrecognized
degrees.
A medical practitioner is permitted only to make a formal announcement in
presson starting practice, changing type & address of practice, and about
temporary absence from duty.
       In this context, the members are notified that the IMA State Ethics
committee is bound to bring such violations as mentioned above, to the TCMC,
which may result in dire consequences. Offences are being frequently penalized
violations of medical ethics, so that the number of such incidences comes down in
future.by IMC and TCMC, with punishments from censure to temporary
suspension of registration.

      Hence all members are hereby cautioned to keep away from such
