My Dear K-Way Readers,

September edition greets you all and we wish you all safe times.

More than at any other time, we need to remind ourselves that we live in extraordinarily unpredictable times.

Knowledge alone is power in these uncertain times.

Misinformation and misplaced optimism can make us complacent.

Knowledge about our times gives us confidence and composure.

K-Way hopes to bring you every month an armour of knowledge that protects you.

Knowledge is constantly gained by both doctors and the public through our interaction.

In my clinical practice, I come across people of different ages and from different economic backgrounds. Every patient is a teacher to me and I learn a lot from them.

But I am troubled to see a lack of knowledge and awareness about many matters of health. This leaves many of you highly vulnerable.

The pandemic has also made the younger generation often feel low and perplexed with health issues that are unique to these times, and are cropping up in their lives.

We doctors seek courage and confidence from evidence-based medicine. I wish our society also seeks evidence from Medicine.

For example we have evidence that parenting, environment and nutrition play key roles in the life of a child.

We also have evidence that time management also has become the essence of life in both the lives of children and adults.

I leave these thoughts in your mind to mull over and take leave of you.

Have a great month ahead! See you in October.

We’d love to know what you think about our monthly newsletter. Feel free to connect with us through feedback@kauveryhospital.com.
