Don't delay surgery-if required-Says Dr. Dewan

[17:23, 2/3/2018]

CME held at Dewan hospital Ludhiana

Ludhiana: 3rd February 2018: (Punjab Screen Bureau):: 

A CME was held at Dewan Hospital and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Center, Ludhiana on the topic of "Complications caused by delay in the surgery of Gall Stone Disease". Dr Narotam Dewan, consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Dewan Hospital and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Center said.

1. Surgery is not necessary if you come to know incidently that you are suffering from gallstones in your gallbladder.

2. When these stones start causing any problem the surgery becomes necessary. These problems may be mild pain, indigestion, vomiting, heaviness, fever or excessive gas formation due to gallstone disease. These problems can be considered as an alarm that now is the time to get gallstones out by submitting yourself to surgery.

3. Those patients who delay surgery when it is indicated can fall in the trap of some very serious and life-threatening disease.

4. One of the most dangerous complications of gall stones is "Cholangitis". This is the infection of and pus formation in the bile ducts. Due to obstruction by a gallstone the bacteria start growing in the bile duct and enter blood through veins of liver. The bacteria and their toxins spread throughout the body. The patient starts having very high fever with rigors and chills, jaundice, pain in abdomen and may become semiconcious. As the disease advances the kidnies fail and blood pressuer falls. The toxins of the bacteria push the person into septic shock and multiple organ failuer which may lead to death. Few decades back the prognosis of this disease was grim and it use to lead to 100% fatality. Even now a days if the disease is fulminating and paient has comorbidities the death rate inspite of best treatment is about 7%. Patient needs high antibiotics, lots of IV fluids and supportive care.

5. Secondly the patient who delay the treatment of gall stones can fall victim to dreaded disease named "Gall Stone Pancreatitis". A small stone slipping from gall bladder and passing to the intestine through bile ducts pushes bile in to the ducts of pancreas. This entering of bile in the pancreas activates highly potent digestive enzymes of pancreas within the pancreas and start autodigestion of pancreas. As the ducts and cells of pancreas get damaged more digestive enymes get leaked and some portion of pancreas may get inflamed or dead. At time bacteria invade this portion of pancreas leading to pus formation. This pus of pancrease is not easy to remove and multiple surgeries may be requiered with prolonged hosptialization over many months in intesive care units. At other timew these pancreatic enzymes enter the blood and damage lungs causing blockage in the exchange of oxygen and carbondiaoxide ( Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom ) or may damage kidneys. These can also lead to clotting of blood with in the blood vessels. At times the pancreas start bleeding or there can be bleeding from other vessels digested by the digestive enzymes. Patient comes with very sever pain in the tummy and vomitting. The abdomen is found hard as a wooden board. The patient requires urgent fluids and supportive treatment. If the pancreatitis is sever the patient may go into shock and multiple organ failuer and die. There is about 4.5% mortality rate inspite of aggressive treatment in such cases.

6. Obstructive jaundice is another complication which is due to slipping of a gallbladder stone into bile ducts and leading to blockage. The patient devolopes jaundice, eyes and skin becomes yellow. The bile from liver enters the blood and is passed in urine so urine to becomes yellow. Since the bile no more goes to the intestine so the stools loose their colour and become light coloured. The patient has lot of itching of skin. Deficiency of Vit K developes and leads to decrease in clotting of blood.

7. Due to inflamation of gall bladder, the adjoining organs like intestine get stuck to the gall bladder and it forms a mass abdomen. If the mass is hard, it is dangerous to operate and the patient is admitted for antibiotics and IV fluids. Patient has to be on treatment for about two monts before the patient can be taken up for surgery.

8. A single large stone staying in the gall bladder is known to lead to the formation of cancer in the gall bladder. Due to proximity of gall bladder to the liver, this cancer invades liver at an early stage and so pushes the cancer to an advanced stager. This is potantially fatal cancer.

9. The delay is gall stone surgery often leads to formation of pus in the gallbladder. This pus can rupture in the abdomen. The gall bladder may rot and becomes gangreeous. Thses are serious complications increasing the risk of the disease and making the treatment and surgery difficult. 

The discussion was heald among the present doctors and public and it was concluded that the patients need to be educated about when they can wait and when they must immidiatly submit themselves to the surgical treatmetn of gall stone disease to avoid life threatning, painfull, distressing and costly complications.

Dt. Neeta Dewan, Diet and Nutrition consultant welcomed the audience and introduced Dr Narotam Dewan.

Start a nationwide moment against drugs “Drugs Quit India”

Dr. Dewan has plan to move a resolution

Ludhiana 26 June 2016: (Punjab Screen Bureau):

On the occasion of International Day Against Drug Abuse, Dewan Hospital and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery Center and Freedom Fighters Successors Organization of India ( Pb ) organized a seminar at Dewan Hospital, Ludhiana.

The seminar was attended by prominent doctors like Dr Rajeev Gupta, Dr Amarjeet Kaur who spoke on the occasion. Dr Rajiv Gupta gave details of drug menace playing havoc with the families of the youth of Punjab. He narrated many stories of young and promising youthful students falling into the drug trap and dying or becoming slave of drugs. He said that the life span of a drug victim is drastically reduced and they are likely to die in less than a decade. They fall victim to other diseases like AIDS, Hepatitis C etc and loose interest in life and purposeful activities. Dr Rajeev Gupta said that the drug mafia is being controlled by rich and powerful persons who have no respect and regard for human life.

Dr Narotam Dewan in his speech presented a paper on the causes and solution to drug menace in the state and the country.

The paper presented by Dr Narotam Dewan:

1.  Failure to develop engaging social and cultural activities – Fed by green revolution, industrialization and NRI money Punjab progressed economically so rapidly that social progress could not keep pace with it. Cheap availability of migrant labour left landlords wondering what to do in their free time. At the same time large numbers of landless families are facing problem to make two ends meet and wondering what to do.

This mixture of affluence and poverty has pushed youth to drugs, those who have spare money flaunt taking drugs and those who are not are becoming drug peddlers to have drugs for killing their depression. Absence of social, cultural, sports in the daily routine of youth has created a vacuum which has pushed them to drugs for killing time and enjoying.

Solution to this may come if every school, college, village committee and elected councilors organize sport activities, seminars, debates, singing and dancing activities, book reading and discussion groups, on daily basis every evening. This will channelize the energy of youth and give it proper direction. The infrastructure and manpower is available but not being used.

2.  Lack of Proper Education - Education is meant to develop the personality, character of a child. So that the child comes out to be a physically, mental and socially healthy being ready to meet the challenges of life. It will not serve its purpose if it is tailored to make a person into a machine for earning money. Education about leading a good life in our traditional system of joint families use to flow from grandparents. This blessing is lost due to nuclear family system in force now. Schools, colleges and social media are the only teachers today.

So, there is need to tap the schools and colleges to impart the education which was otherwise imparted in families. Regular periods on health, sports and religious/moral education must be introduced. Good and uncontroversial teachings of all religions should be taught educational institutions on daily basis.

3.  Break down of law and order and insatiable greed of people – The business of drugs and narcotics pays very rich dividends to its masters. They do not have to pay any taxes as this is an activity in the black. They have protection of the ruthless international, national and state mafia, terrorist and spy agencies from abroad. They have no respect or love for human dignity, human life, country, state, society, race etc.. With the black money hoarded by these mindless demons, they purchase many politicians, policemen, judiciary persons. They raise a parallel army and police of well-armed goons who are at their back and call to attack and illuminate their opponents. These people are difficult to identify as they are from among us. In disguise they have built their networks by employing unemployed, poor, criminal and greedy people to run this trillion rupee drug business.

Innovative, strong, honest, national level force against this cuscus is the need of hour to identify, book and bring to justice these demons who are eating away the strength of our youth like white ants from within. Unless there is a political will on the highest level to save our country from this covert invasion by our neighboring countries and criminal greedy Indians associated with them, Indian culture civilization and Nation will die a slow but sure death.

Dr Narotam Dewan said that there is need for fundamental changes to deal with this problem destroying the lives of Indian youth Dr Dewan said that Punjab has come to the notice of international drug syndicate and the countries inimical to India as a prosperous state. Dr Dewan said that it is the duty of every Punjabi to start a war against the drugs and drug mafia. He said that Punjabis had been in the forefront to stop Alexander the Great, Mohamad Gaznavi and Ahmed Shah Abdalli etc and this time also will come up to the occasion and save their next generation from the claws of the demons dealing in drug. . Dr Dewan suggested following measures.

1. To create an agency like INA to investigate the culprits behind the menace, book them and bring them to justice.

2. Create subjects of health and have a daily period in all classes of schools and colleges to inculcate healthy living habits in youngsters.

3. To create a period of religious education in schools and colleges where good teachings of all religions are taught to the students on daily basis.

4.. To have daily periods of sport for all students to channelize the energies of the youth in constructive activities.

Dr Dewan said that he will move a resolution in the national convention of Freedom Fighters Successor Organization of India to start a nationwide moment against drugs “Drugs Quit India”.

Mr Raman Goyal, President Helping Hand Club and Mr Bharat Joshi, secretary of Helping Hand Club and Mr Pardeep Sharma, Secretary of Indian Peoples Theater Association, Mr Vijay Chiba, President Freedom Fighters Association, Ludhiana, Mr Gurdeep Singh social activist and writer spoke on the occasion.

Staff of Dewan Hospital sang a Punjabi song against Drugs abuse.

Mrs Neeta Dewan, Director, Dewan Hospital thanked the guests for sparing time from there busy schedule to participate in the event.

Everyone to use their right to vote

Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 1:10 PM
Dr. Narotam Dewan and hospital staff pledged to vote

Ludhiana: 29 April 2014: (Punjab Screen Bureau):
On the occasion of Parliamentary Elections 2014, Dewan Hospital & Advanced Laparoscopic Sugery Centre, Dewan Jagdish Chandra ( first MLA of Ludhiana ) Memorial Society and Freedom Fighters' Successors' Organization of India  urge everyone to use their right to vote to elect a Government which is " By the people and For the people of India". On this occasion we give them the slogan
" Use Your Right to Take India to New Height "For thousands of years India had been enslaved by foreign invaders who exploited the rich wealth of India, used its youth as slave animals, raped the females, wounded and killed anyone who tried to raise her/his voice for making our land free from the exploitation from these brutal, greedy, blood-monger persons who occupied the seats of power in our country due to our weaknesses of infighting, collaboration for piety gains, caste system and superstitions.

Freedom of India was attained by innumerable sacrifices made by our ancestors. The freedom fighter Indians were bereft of their lands and businesses, imprisoned, hanged, sent to Kala Pani, false cases were registered against them, they were beaten mercilessly. Our present freedom is standing on the blood, bones and sufferings of our freedom fighters.

We should not loose the opportunity offered by elections which gives us power to elect the people to govern us. Remember vote for those who want to serve our great country and not make us slaves or exploit our resources for their own gains.

Vote for India, Vote for Your freedom, Vote for a Government that serves the people of India. Vote for India.

Jai Hind

MCI Election: Doctoer's Circle said this mockery of democracy

Unfair practices feared and suspected

Ludhiana: 4th April 2014: (Punjab Screen Bureau): 

A meeting of the Doctors’ circle was held where following resolution was passed regarding MCI Elections.

There is complete absence of spirit of democracy in the current MCI elections due to following reasons

1 The ballots are posted by ordinary posts and have not reached majority of voters, last date for ballots to reach back is 10th March so the postal delay to and fro is harming the election process.

2 It is feared and suspected that unfair practices are being carried out of collecting the ballots posted by ordinary post from the post offices and postmen.

3 The candidates are reported to be collecting the unfilled ballot papers from the voters by pressurizing them , this has taken out the important element of Secrecy from the process. When a candidate comes, sits in front face to face and demands that ballot paper be handed over to him it becomes very embarrassing for the voter to refuse a colleagues doctor.

4 Ballots are difficult to fill and require to be posted back by registered post so most of the doctors are either ignoring them or handing these over to the first candidate who approaches them.

Doctor’s Circle takes a serious note of this mockery of democracy for an important post which gives lot of power and responsibility to the elected person and demands that the elections be quashed and held again in a proper manner where the rights of the voting doctors be protected and a genuinely deserving person is elected without manipulation of votes. Doctors’ Circle condemns this mockery of democracy in educated doctor community which is expected to show the right path to the society.

Protest against UP Govt.

Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 1:17 PM

Doctors’ circle passed following resolution

1. Brutal attack by UP minister and UP police on Medical Students:- medical students have been victims of brutal attack by criminal ministers of UP Govt  at Kanpur Medical College. The medical students have not even been treated like animals but they have been crushed and cut like vegetable. This reminds us of dark days of Aurangzeb rule. The brutal beating of medical students will harm their psychology and they will find it difficult to become good doctors with compassion and love towards ailing humanity and in the process the public will suffer due to black deeds of these demons. Doctors’ Circle condemns these atrocities on medical students.

2. Frequent attacks by unruly mobs on doctors and medical institutions and illegal registration of cases against doctors by police:- Doctors are subjected to a large number of laws to investigate negligence in their duty, if any. These laws are Consumer Protection Act, Medical Council Act, Civil Courts etc..  If the administration can not protect doctors and medical institutes from unlawful attacks then the laws against doctors should also be withdrawn. Just as it is the duty of doctors to protect the patients under their care to the best of their capacity we, doctors depend upon the Commissioner of police and Deputy Commissioner of the district to do their best to protect the life and property of medical professionals.

No doctor can ever play GOD and guarantee that patient will not suffer from any side effects of the treatment; allergic reaction to even a tablet given to the patient may become life threatening. No health patient comes to the doctors, the body systems of the patients when they come to the doctors are already deranged, and that is why they come to the doctors. Many patients come late after the disease gets complicated and so difficult to cure.  Doctors go out of the way to work hard for these patients and try their best but there is a failure rate in the best hospital of the world. Supreme court has ruled that no FIR should be filed against any doctor without inquiry by a panel of doctors indicating negligence, administration and police should honor this.

Down with criminal UP Government

Ludhiana: 5 March 2014: (Rector Kathuria//Punjab Screen):

Unprecedented atrocities have been committed against medical students by the Government of Utter Pradesh at Kanpur Medical College. The medical students have not even been treated like animals but they have been crushed and cut like vegetable. The criminal record of Mulayam Singh Yadav and most of the ministers of this Government is no secret.

This reminds us of dark days of Aurangzeb rule. These are dark days for democracy in India when criminals are ruling over Indian masses and are enjoying looting and hunting the public. Money from corruption /crime and muscle power of mafia is the king maker and they have no value for education and service.

The brutal beating of medical students will harm their psychology and they will find it difficult to become good doctors with compassion and love towards ailing humanity and in the process the public will suffer due to black deeds of these demons.

Doctors’ Circle condemns these atrocities on medical students and demands

1 The UP Government should be dismissed

2The culprit minister and culprit police officers be dismissed and arrested .

3 Rupees 10crore compensation be given for each dead medical student and Rs 20lakh compensation be for each injured student.

4 All cases against medical students be withdrawn.

Doctors’ Circle appeals all doctors of all pathies to shut down their services tomorrow completely for full day and bear black batches.

OUR SLOGANS–“Do Not Teach Cruelty to Doctors”         and 

                             “Down with criminal UP Government”.
