Editorial The saddest victims of a gruesome, barbarian and brutal massacre are the “RAPE VICTIMS”. Entire life is like a smooth flow with happiness and enjoyment, when all of a sudden a RAPE on an innocent girl takes a heavy and unimaginable toll on her life. We hail our Nation as MOTHER INDIA with heights of Spirituality, Philosophy, Brotherhood, Traditions and Customs where very frequently a woman being raped is alarming and a devastating incident. Innocent RAPE victims are subjected to the worst form of humiliation outraging her Modesty. Majority transform themselves as Snails drawing into their own shells for fear of the social stigma. This cruelty impregnates a deep seated non healing wound through out their life. Others who come out boldly about the incident suffer and succumb to the endless mental agony in the form of police inquests, repeated embarrassing medical and cross examinations in the court of Law, publicity by the Media, threatening by the offenders in the long run……. Nonetheless mistake of them, the RAPE victims are ostracized and humiliated by their own family and friends; Nauseating and suffocating grimace and frown of the society towards them; An Alien treatment meted out to them by their educational and professional departments; Mocking and unbearable heap of insults by the relatives, neighbors and strangers; the Trials and Tribulations of the RAPE victims in daily life are beyond description. Even a four legged creature is well received by the society in comparison to the RAPE victims. Family life is at bleak for an unmarried rape victim and family harmony is shown the doors for a married rape victim.
However many stringent laws are being framed to protect the women against RAPE; eve-teasing, Molestation and sexual abuse against them are on the rise in our so called civilized and spiritual society. Certain RAPE victims succumb and commit suicide or addicted to drugs and become a Psychopath! For no mistake of them, Thorns strewn along their life's path is ethically, morally and legally not justifiable. The formation of anti-ragging committee and anti-ragging squad in tune with the Dr.R.K.Raghavan committee in the educational institutions are steps taken in the right direction. The Medical Council of India in compliance with the Honourable Supreme court judgements has directed all private and public sector undertakings,organisations to put sufficient mechanisms for the full implementation of the Vishaka guidelines to handle any case of sexual harassment in the workplace. To alleviate the grumpy and morose situations of the RAPE victims, Broadmindedness, Understanding, Sympathy and support are to be showered on them by the care takers and fellow beings. Courage and Boldness with Self Defence martial arts for all women are the MUST TO KNOW CURRICULUM for life. Let the offenders of RAPE and all men be aware that at times he is attempting this violent crime on his own mother and sister – A CONDITIONED PSYCHOLOGICAL REFLEX to be inculcated from his childhood!! It is the Universal Dictum of Human Race to Understand the victim of RAPE!!! Cheers !!! Dr. Balaji Rajagopalan Prof & Head, Biochemistry

Though Hippocrates is commonly called the “father of medicine,” very little is known about him beyond his birthplace on the Island of Cos, around 460 B.C.E. His name was givento a new form of healing that arose during the Golden Age of Greece. The fundamentals of the new medicine were its separation from reliance on religion or superstition for diagnosis or cure; the importance of keen observation of the sick and the writing of books that recorded the details of diseases for future generations to study; an ethical code that spelled out the obligations of physicians to their patients and to one another; and the importance of teaching each new generation of doctors the knowledge that had been acquired by their predecessors. The underlying philosophy of the Hippocratic physicians was that disease involves a patient's entire body and mind, so that therapy must be directed to the whole context of the patient's life situation rather than some small part of it. Outline we will focus on Western scientific medicine, not Asian or alternative medicine, and we will use biography as our point of reference any discipline or aspect of history should be traceable through the lives of its greatest contributors. A. A number of interesting topics will arise as we discuss these people, including: 1. The rise of universities and the ways in which they influenced medical education 2. The appearance of the scientific method and inductive reasoning 3. The influence of individual personality on achievement

One of the most famous books is The B. Ultimately, this course is a series of character Aphorisms of Hippocrates, a collection of pithy, studies of the great doctors. We begin with the sententious statements on how to care for sick father of medicine, the great Hippocrates . When people and live a moral life. we look at the writings of Hippocrates—the Of those hundreds of aphorisms, the most Hippocratic corpus—we find that they weren't written by a single man.

This was not the way of the Hippocratic physicians. Ø What are some of the principles of Hippocratic medicine that changed what had come We know that Hippocrates existed. His father before? was Heraclides, a hereditary Aesculapian physician. Hippocrates was born around 460 B.C in A. Diseases are events that happen within the Cos, an island off of what is now Turkey. C. Itinerant entire life of an individual physicians somehow came together, probably starting on Cos and migrating to the mainland . The B. Equilibrium must be maintained within a body.

2. Yellow bile: A person with an overabundance of yellow bile ischoleric or bilious, quick to anger. 3. Black bile: A person who has an excess of black bile has a melancholic disposition. 4. Phlegm: A person with a surplus of phlegm has a slow temperament, or is phlegmatic. D. If any of these four fluids was out of balance, a person became sick. E. Another basic principle is that the human body tends to heal itself. F. The basis of Hippocratic medicine lies in the concept: “First, do no harm.â€? Ă˜ How did the Hippocrates achieve this objective? 1.They kept accurate notes and passed them on to their students. 2.They examined patients, studying bodily secretions, and looking at temperature, color of skin, and other physical characteristics for signs that the humors were out of balance. They took medical histories from patients. 3.They believed that nature tried to get rid of excesses, but the doctor had to help. For instance, if a patient had a fever, that meant there was too much blood in the body, so the patient was bled to eliminate excess blood. G. Another characteristic of these physicians was that, because they kept such precise records, they were the first to be able to give patients a relatively accurate prognosis. 1. Highly developed knowledge of disease allowed the Hippocrates to make such predictions. 2. Their accuracy and ethical principles earned them a good reputation, which was important, because they were itinerant and needed to make a living. 3. In turn, their reputation helped to draw many young men to the Hippocratic schools of medicine.

H. These physicians did surgery, splinted fractures, took blood and pus out of the chest, and if blood accumulated in the skull after injury, they poked holes in the skull, as the ancient Egyptians had done. I. They learned to be dexterous; some of their literature tells how to move the hands for particular operations and how to cut fingernails so as not to hurt patients. The Hippocratic doctors developed a code of ethics, which formed the original basis for modern Western medical ethics. A. Why was the code of ethics developed? It set the Hippocratic doctor apart from other physicians. B. The ethics are expressed in the great oath of Hippocrates, which has two parts: the covenant promising to uphold the code and the code itself. The code offers the ground rules of a professional society and the ethical principles that permeate the entire Hippocratic corpus. 1. In taking the oath, a physician promised not to help anyone commit suicide, facilitate abortions, or cut for bladder stones. 2. Most important in the code were matters of tact, personal morality, confidentiality, and the assurance that a doctor would never take advantage of his position. C. The importance of the Hippocratic oath is that for the first time in the history of medicine, an ethical code brought a group of doctors together and marked this group as different from all others. For me, the Hippocratic corpus is exemplified by two statements that are not in the oath but in other parts of the writing: A. With purity and holiness, I will pass my life and practice my Art. B. Where there is love of humankind, there is also love of the Art of medicine. Dr. Venkatadri Professor, Pharmacology

Tinsley Randolph Harrison-A Legacy of Medical Education
Dr. Tinsley R. Harrison instructing students at a patient's bedside. (Reproduced from Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 16th ed) Tinsley Randolph Harrison is a renowned physician and is known as an editor of a seminal book “Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (formerly, Principles of Internal Medicine) to the medical fraternity across the globe. He was born in Talledega, Alabama, on March 18, 1900. His father was 6th generation physician, William Groce Harrison. Harrison matriculated at the University of Michigan, after his high school education. Later he continued his one year of medical school at Michigan before transferring to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He spent his first two years of residency at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital after medical school graduation and returned to Johns Hopkins for his third year of internal medicine training. Harrison started his career as chief resident at Vanderbilt School of Medicine where he continued for 16 years with his lifelong friend Alfred Blalock. At Vanderbilt University, he focused on research primarily on heart failure and circulatory system and published around 107 research articles. He established himself as a dynamic teacher, thoughtprovoking researcher, and remarkable physician.
Dr. Herbert Wells, Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physiology at Bowman Gray School of Medicine (Wake Forest University School of Medicine), suggested Harrison's appointment, to its Dean, Dr.Carpenter. Vanderbilt's Dean W.G. Leathers had no hesitation, except his reluctance to lose brilliant Harrison, in recommending him to join at Bowman Gray. In a letter to the Dean of Wake Forest, Leathers noted: “He is a conscientious and untiring worker and at the same time possesses a degree of brilliancy that is unusual.” But Harrison was not just an ideal physician. Leathers also commented, “The students tell me that he has remarkable ability as an instructor and presents his subject enthusiastically and effectively. In other words, he possesses marked inspirational qualities as a teacher.” Sir William Osler's and Groce Harrison's influences were profound on Harrison in shaping his career in medical profession. Harrison worked tirelessly to establish world class Internal Medicine Department at Bowman Gray. Harrison brought major changes in the training of students and house staff insisting for full time faculty instead of part time local practitioners. Harrison also believed in the value of bedside teaching. He said, “Teaching was all with patients, so patient care and teaching were the same thing.” He also said, “The purpose of clinics and lectures will be primarily to stimulate thinking rather than to teach facts.” He introduced Clinical Pathological Conferences (CPC) at Bowman Gray in which a case was presented and first the students, then the house staff, then a faculty member reviewed the case and suggested their assessment, diagnoses, and plans. Students considered these CPCs as the most stimulating and informative educational exercises. Harrison also developed the habit of inviting students and residents, usually with several other faculty members, to his home for dinner once or twice a month. These, however, were no ordinary dinners. After the meal, one member of the group would present a research paper, and the others would discuss and criticize it. Tinsley had the secret goal of starting a fight or disagreement over some point or concept discussed. If he could split the group into contending camps, each side would be

motivated to study fiercely to prove the other wrong. These meetings became characteristic of Tinsley's teaching philosophy, which placed student motivation in the forefront.
of the National Heart Institute, and recipient of the Kober Medal, one of the greatest honors an internist can receive. Harrison died in Birmingham at the age of 78.
Besides the CPCs, patient-centered teaching, clinical demonstrations, and only the necessary amount of lectures, Harrison also wanted his students to learn themselves. He said “Our students do not finish school with enough facility in using the library. I believe it would be a good plan if, from the very beginning, the students were given a list of articles to read, . . . The object of this would be to try to teach the students that their learning must in the long-run come from the journals rather than from textbooks. In a letter to the Dean, Harrison opined that “the fourth year medical students should spend two hours a day of lectures and clinics and the rest of the time they should act as rotating interns, having somewhat less authority than our present interns have but more authority than students ordinarily have”. . . . . He further said that “this as I see it, is the greatest defect in medical education at present—that the boys simply wait around during their fourth year for their internships and don't really work the way they do the other years at medical school”.
