After attending the conference at cochin [ which
was nodoubt well organised] the most obvious thing was the complete chaos in the
existing neuro-truma system in the country. There was a clear distinction
between the institutional segment and the community based neuro-truma management
segment. Then there was that obviuos difference between the teaching institutes
where the trauma patients are left to the trainees and the corporate sector
where the patients are carefully managed by the consultants. Some of the
institutional presentation were disappointing when compared to the results
delivered by qualified neurosurgeons operating from extremely low resource
areas. Cost of treatment appeared to much lower on the peripheral units.
Research presentations were poorly selected and hopefully in the future such
presentations will not be allowed. Every body talked of a neuro-truma registry
but none had any ideas about how to go about it. I am sure most of us will
convienently forgeet the issue as soon as we reach home.
