Personal Introduction:

      When I qualified in diagnostic radiology, it was black and white, but with the technological advances in radiology like CT scan and ultrasound scan, has made my profession more colorful.  Every job of mine gave me more insight into this field of medicine.  At Kilpauk Medical College I received interesting x-ray collections of very rare cases.  The job at Kasturba Medical College and Fr. Muller’s hospital at Mangalore made me to handle radiology departments in an independent manner.  Mangalore Neurological Research Institute gave me inside knowledge into cross sectional anatomy.  My position Umtata General Hospital Transkei and Cecilia Makiwarre Hospital at Ciskei, South Africa exposed me to ultrasound technologies which we learnt by ourselves in the year 1982.

12 years of attachment to St. Isabel Hospital and subsequent private practice in the neighborhood gave me very good exposure to obstetric ultrasound practice.  I am very happy with my present position at American Mission Hospital and my wife and two children are also very happy to be in Bahrain.  For day one of our arrival in Bahrain we are well settled into this hospital and country.  I am a consumer activist and a sportive personality.  Being a Capricorn by birth, I don’t easily give up.
