SCALPEL…Not just an instrument                  

   

DR CHERIAN .. A TRIBUTE                       

The king of human hearts, will reign in many a heart,

Many hearts beating soundly, thanks to his mastery,

Scalpel  he held, saved  more lives around the globe,

Colossus  amongst cardiac surgeon, finally bid adieu.

 

Pioneer  in heart surgery ,matchless for five decades,

Many feathers don his cap, countless hearts will agree,

Maiden coronary bye pass, first heart lung transplant ,

Countless hours on surgical table, for an ailing heart.

 

Mastered ,tutored countless  neophyte surgeons till date,

Doyen of many a cardiac care centers home and abroad,

“The Hand Of God” for many ailing tiny hearts all around,

An institution by himself, selfless, a legacy unmatched.

 

Such lives, any pen can’t  do full justice  to his sacrifice,

Nor a novice poet  with medical degree can attempt  a say,

Yet any human with a heart, will weep over  his demise,

His name will linger  forever, the best  tribute we can pray.

 

P.S  “Just an instrument ”..the name of his autobiography
