Last weekend, I wrote about the harrowing experience of Dr. H.V. Shivaram, who was attacked by a stray horse on the grounds of the Cheluvamba Hospital, which is a part of the large campus of the Mysore Medical College (MMC), while he was a House Surgeon there, way back in the year 1982. Thankfully, that bad experience had a very happy ending, all due to the helpful presence of a few people who were around the spot at the time and the promptness and skill with which Dr. C.B. Murthy, the then professor of surgery, operated upon the badly crushed and mutilated arm of Dr. Shivaram.
