Our family doctor was Dr.Panicker, br T.Ramakrishna Panicker, br His diagnosis used to be sharper! br br He used to do a few laboratory tests br Then and there with his test kits, br He was an expert in treating us for ever! br br He used to treat free for the poor, br He used to comfort us whomsoever, br He controlled the disease to be over! br br He mostly dispensed us mixtures, br He never sent us to distant cities br And referred rarely to higher centers; br br He charged his fees only very meagre, br Disease for which we approached him br In no time used to disappear; br br Remembrances of our family doctor br who was our beloved savior br remain in our mind for ever!br br Dr.V.K.
