Remembrances of our family doctor
Our family doctor was Dr.Panickar,
T.N.Ramakrishna Panickar,
His diagnosis used to be sharper;
He used to do a few laboratory tests then and there,
He was an expert in treating us for ever;
He used to treat free for the poor,
He used to convince and comfort us whomsoever;
He mostly dispensed us tablets and mixtures,
He never sent us to cities and referred
rarely to higher centres;
He charged his fees only very meagre,
Disease for which we approached him used to disappear;
Remembrances of our family doctor
who was our savior
remain in our mind for ever!
