This is a subject quite close to my heart. Trauma is called an accident in India often meaning this was unexpected. this gives a implication that one can feel sorry for the event and the persons involved in the accident. This is quite the opposite to what is true. most trauma incidents and if not all can be predicted and preventable. the western countries have worked on this so well that most accidents are prevented.
the problem in a country like India had always been traffic awareness or the lack of it. however the present scenario of lack of speed awarenss complicates in a significant way. the same lack of traffic awareness with low speed and high speed have different implications with the resultant severity of injury quite high.
this is recognised in a country like UK where the stress on speed awareness is given a huge thrust on public education even when the traffic awareness is high

Dental Camp at our school at Sreenivasapuram, Lalgudi
The Sugam Charity organised a dental camp with the help of Dr Iyyappan Shankar and his team from Dencity at KMC Speciality hospital and Dr Navarasu Dental Surgeon from Poovalur. The supporting volunteers were C Rajamanickam, Mrs Maragatham,chockalingam, Rajamanickam friend and his family. there was a hiccup with tamil nadu electricity board supply with unexpected stoppage of electricity. Generator was organised by Gandhimathinathan with his friend and the camp presentation started. there was a presentation by the dentists on how to care for the teeth to the children and their parents. dental check up was done for over ninety children, most of them underprivileged. a comprehensive assessment and advice was given. it was nice to see young dentists enjoying themselves in this cause of health education and awareness. please note that i am not calling this as service as i do not think it as a free service, rather it is the duty of everyone.
