Obituary: Dr. Dhobesh Chandra Mishra

From Drop Box
Born on 9th February 1945 Dr. Dhobesh Chandra Mishra joined this hospital in 1968 in the department of Psychiatry. Later he completed his MD in the same subject from Calcutta University. A psychiatrist of great repute Dr. Mishra was a great lover of art and culture. He was associated with many socio-cultural organisations of Rourkela. A poet himself he also loved theatre,dance and music and used to take part in dramas staged by IGH staff during his younger days. As he came from a humble background, he could understand the problems of many and was therefore the saviour of many by providing them with the required help. Always happy and loving to colleagues and the staff DCM, as he was popularly called, tended to generate love in others. He superannuated in February 2005 and was working in "Prashanti" a psychiatry hospital he built. A great lover of food, Dr. Mishra suffered from DM for nearly 3 decades and passed away on early hours of 19th December 2009. May his soul rest in peace and may his family members and innumerable adoring well-wishers be provided with enough courage by the Almighty to bear the loss.

Breaking News Online: Orissa reports first Swine Flu death, India Toll goes up to 431

Breaking News Online: Orissa reports first Swine Flu death, India Toll goes up to 431
Its unfortunate that we have lost one of our colleagues Dr. AK Banwar to swine flu- which may turn out to be an occupational hazard to all health care professionals. A committed physician, Dr. Banwar is highly admired by his colleagues and patients. Our heart goes out for Dr. Mrs. Banwar-also a colleague of ours and his entire family for the untimely and sad demise. May God provide enough courage to the whole of the Banwar family to bear the sad loss.

IGH bids farewell to Dr. P K Rath

Date-3rd October 2009
Venue- Conference Hall

His name symbolised progress and modernisation of Ispat General Hospital in almost all areas- technical, academic and infrastructure. There have been many doctors with vision for IGH but none has combined vision and execution so well. As the Director, Medical & Health Services, Dr. Pramod Kumar Rath dreamt of improving IGH and its services even till the evening of 30th September 2009 and probably a couple of days after that till he was given a farewell by all section of employees of IGH and its ancilliary units. An alumni from SCB Medical College, Cuttack and AIIMS, New Delhi, Dr. Rath has published many scientific papers in national and international medical journals- his area of special interest being Haematology. An academician by nature he talked on "Hairy Cell Lukemia- the past & present" to colleagues and DNB trainees in IGH on 29th September- a day before his superannuation where he insisted on colleaguesand DNB candidates to always take active interest in preparing and presenting papers.
He was an administrator with a human touch and was liked by one and all. His acid tongue was often reserved for people whom he loved the best and expected a lot from these handful few. A follower of Swami Chimoyananda, he is deeply pious and disciplined he rarely tolerates nonsense or indiscipline. But it was his humane nature that endeared to all- be it the elderly ex-employees or the young boys and girls in their teens. I have ofeten found him counselling young boys and girls with their parents for hours in his busy schedule where the situation has warranted. Deeply attched to IGH, Dr. Rath himself expressed that he was able to tslk during his farewel meeting as it was delayed by a couple of days. Sensitive and highly emotional, Dr. Rath was given a very warm farewel by his colleagues.
From Farewel to Dr. PK Rath-20091003
