  1. ...as a layman all that I can comment is that it appears to be a detailed presentation of the subject matter...segmented thoughtfully in detail and gives an impression of a wholesome package of indept study, analysis and research which definitely would be a must know and a must have ready reckonner for practising gynaecologists as also for those teaching this subject line and needless to say for all those aspiring to be in the same platform as that of the author...
    ...outstanding and top class effort as always that has typically been as Dr PankajDesai's "Hallmark"...

  11. Hi, I have just visited your site and the info you have covered has been of great interest
    to me. Some of the suggestions you have given have enabled me to apply my own thought

  14. I think it's not practical. If such a law imposed, in an emergency case, male doctors would be reluctant to consult females. The consequence will be fatal. May be even the death of patient.

    Nice and thought provoking post.
