When Mahatma Gandhi Hospital was started in Jodhpur, at that time Dr. E. W. Howard was the Principal Medical Officer. Dr. Howard was always aware of the arrangement of the hospital. Even if he had gone out somewhere and returned home in the evening, visiting the hospital had become a part of his daily routine. At such a time, during the inspection, without informing the doctors or nursing staff in advance, they would have made a surprise visit. Inquiring about the well being of the patients in the hospital and getting information about the arrangement of the hospital. Standing on one side of the patient, encourage the patient to call the nurse or tell the doctor about the problem. and then see how the doctor or nurse treats the patient. He attends and takes care of her and treats her. At that time there was discipline like the whole army in the hospital.
Once Dr. Hayward came to the hospital without shaving, the sub-compounder said that today you have broken the discipline of the hospital. Dr. Hayward did not get distracted by his remark and at the same time wrote an order on a paper that Dr. Hayward is fined Rs 10 today and that fine should be deducted from his salary and that order was handed over to the compounder tomorrow at my office. arrived in
Fifty years ago when I did M.B.M. Enrolled in Engineering College Jodhpur. At that time Shri V.G. Garde was the principal. They were very punctual. He would reach the college at exactly 7.4.0 in the morning and Shri Dulichand Ji Jangid Instructor would match the time with his clock to the alarm clock near him and correct the time of the clocks hanging in all the rooms of the college. He never used to mess with the students. Whenever there was a disturbance in the class, he would have told the head of the department.
His son Adi Gaya studied in the same college. The principal’s residence was about 2.5-3 kms from the college. In the morning the principal would come to the college from home alone by car, then in the afternoon, the Jangid Brahmins
Coming to residence and coming back to college by car. After 5 o’clock in the evening, the principal would return home by car. In the same way, Garde Saheb’s boy would come to college from home by bicycle in the morning. In the afternoon he used to go home on his bicycle from college for lunch and in the same way after 5 in the evening his son would go home by cycle. We have never seen him going to his father’s office in college, nor have we ever seen him sitting in the principal’s car. One day his son was returning home by cycle in the evening and when the principal’s car came out from behind, the driver stopped the car. When the principal asked, the driver told that the chain of Avinash Babu’s cycle was broken. The principal said – you drive the car, it will come automatically with a cycle.
The above two incidents force us to think whether the same discipline can be brought again in hospitals, engineering colleges and other public service institutions?
