Everyone who heard that the most affable, lovable, kind, generous, helpful and most popular doctor ever in the Sassoon General Hospital, Dr. Dinesh Dayanand Shetty, has put in his paper and opted for Voluntary Retirement Scheme after a decade of service in the state Public Health Department, after being frustrated at the happenings in the hospital, people just could not believe their ears. Shock stunned colleagues, friends, well wishers, hordes of politicians, judges, police officers, IAS bureaucrats as also thousands of poor patients, found element of surprise in this move of Dr. Shetty.
"Oh, no", were the first words that echoed out of the mouth of a powerful NCP minister, this is a disaster for the Sassoon hospital, he said and appealed that Dr. Shetty, who is popularly known as "Father Teresa" amongst the patients, should withdraw the VRS. Yet, three other legislators from the Congress, BJP and NCP, felt that Dr. Shetty, a gem of a doctor, should reconsider his decision, as it would be more of a loss to the thousands of patients.
Several politicians, doctors, social activists, journalists and patients have spoken out that they would request and insist the state government not to accept the VRS of Dr. Dinesh Shetty. " I would rather ask the Minister for Public Health, to investigate the cause beyond the VRS of Dr.Shetty, as well I would also ask the Minister of Medical Education, Dr. Rajesh Tope, to deal sternly with elements that have compelled a very capable and lovable doctor like Dr. Shetty to tender VRS, said, another very powerful NCP minister, who has the highest regards, love and respect for Dr. Shetty.
Several heads of department of various faculties in the hospital, very strongly feel, that the departure of Dr. Dinesh Shetty from Sasson hospital, would equally be a very big loss. A Head of the Department of Surgery was heard telling his fellow colleagues that Dr. Shetty's contribution for the upliftment of image of the hospital has been tremendous. " He is blunt, upright, no-nonsense, dauntless and just doctor, the hospital ever had. There will never be a second person like him, perhaps again," the HOD said.
Thousands of patients, doctors and VVIPs would vouch for the integrity of Dr. Shetty. The problem is that his strict disciplinarian attitude has not gone well with one of his superiors and some hostile elements in the administration and other faculties that were involved in alleged corruption. Dr. Shetty was like a thorn in their way. The Class IV employees, whom he took to task for several irregularities and indiscipline, wanted to see him go soonest. so that the decks would be cleared and the stumbling block in their nefarious activities would be removed.
No, a good person like Dr. Shetty, who had worked with complete dedication for the welfare of the poor and the large number of public, should not go, we should not allow, a genius and lovable person like him to put in his paper in frustration.
The state government, the chief minister, the ministers for public health and medical education, as well as the secretary of medical education Mr. Bhushan Gagrani, should intervene personally and find the root cause of all the problems at the BJ Medical College and Sassoon hospital, that are prevailing, and that has lead to the frustration of Dr. Shetty.
Do not wait for things to deteriorate and go in a hell like situation. A public awakening and awareness of the situation at this place is the call of the day. Hoe you are listening Mr. Gagrani!!

The Blogger is doing a great service to the community by bringing facts that are unknown to the outside world.
Shame to the bureaucracy. They all need to be thrown into the Arabian Sea.
The only bad thing which we all feel is the departure of Dr. Dinesh Shetty. We must persue him to withdraw his VRS and also urge the PHD department not to accept his VRS, but probe the reasons beyond his submitting the VRS.
The Dean and the Deputy Superintendent should go in public interest. That's the bottom line. And the Ministers should remember that the Assembly elections are not too far - just around in october.
