Sullia, Oct 22: The graduation day was celebrated at the KVG Dental College here on October 20.

Delivering the keynote address on the occasion after conferring the degree to the students, vice-chancellor of Rajiv Gandhi Health Science University of Bangalore Dr S Ramanand Shetty said that every year 50,000 students come out with medical, dental degrees. The medical profession should not be taken for making money but to respect human values and serve to every layer of the society.  Strictly speaking it is not a profession but a vocation, he added.

    A timely advice from Dr Shetty to students of medicine. Teaching and Medical Practice have 'Service to Society' as their common denominator, the latter being always relevant on a one-on-one basis, wherein the human touch and the consequent bonding/rapport the doctor establishes with the patient play a major role in the healing process. Ironically, in one sense, the “touch” has a literal meaning, and even a routine check for vital signs could do the trick, as long as it is done in a personal sense.

    The Academic and/or professional Degrees/Awards of a Doctor do not matter the human touch does. I knew a very popular (much loved) and successful general Practitioner who only had an L.I.M. as his academic qualification. Three Doctors practicing in Udupi with a great human touch had become household names throughout the South Kanara of old.
