We all are Japanese today !

The agony of the Japanese humanitarian crisis continues where earthquake ,after tremors and devastating tsunami rendered millions of people without water, electricity, homes and what have you.

It is extremely difficult not to think of Hiroshima while thinking of Fukushima and other parts of the land of rising sun… Continue

Let us prevent all these avoidable and unneccessary deaths !

In event of a road traffic accident or any medical/surgical emergency, a patient is,… Continue
