Obituary to the Doyen of surgery Prof Narendra Prasad formerly Prof & HOD surgery PMCH , Patna .
Sir always donned the white apron , seldom we students saw him in formals ....the Doctors coat was long , the extremities well draped....he was the busiest Surgeon around , his colleagues and contemporary being Prof Motilal singh , Prof A A Hai , Prof OP shah to name a few .... He embodied an inspiration & awe for young medicos who at some point of time wanted to be a Narendra Prasad , such was his personality of enigma , laced with Hard, Hard work and ultimate professionalism in an era where Medical instrumentation had just seen the light of the day ....we used to say Bailey Love , K das and S das in the same breath as Prof Dr Narendra Prasad . It was sheer number of successful general surgery he used to churn out on daily basis either be it in PMCH or at Alok Nursing Home . his personae was that of a lightning : Sharp , Swift , Decisive The hallmark of a Great surgeon .....this was further augmented by the twinkle in his eyes whenever he dwelt on a topic , leaning with his aproned arms on the LT desk , a fast applied approach to Clinical surgery with a smile of ever oozing confidence so so very much essential for a practitioner of Surgery ....
Prof Narendra Prasad was a Cynosure of all eyes when he moved in the campus & we Medicos definitely were awe struck by his stature .
As He passes away , his Legacy will be remembered with thousands being touched in their Lives by Narendra Babu....He will always be remembered by we Medicos as a solid Pillar of Professionalism & Hard work , a benchmark of diligent application to a discipline ....Rest in Peace Sir , deeply mourned by all of us ......
