Hi Buddy

I am sure operative surgery would be welcome.

Remember how we used to gloat over the old, outdated[sometimes]editions.

When I go back, look at the procedures,,

And the newer modifications,

Many approaches are not that different, mostly improvised,

And looking at the older methods, procedures,

Could make the next generations think of other modifications,

Different approaches,

To make any procedure better, cost efficient, and geared towards recovery or longer palliative treatment, reduce [pain, patient discomfort,

Just like what we were taught

What we learned

And the much greater innovation by our generation,

Who did the near impossible,

Especially in the many centers around the world.

Hope we get more chances to teach the next generations,

,hopefully expecting them to improve, be more creative.

We just proved we were as effective, and in some cases better than what we thought, at what we did.

The books would help.

But they need more assistance.

Our groups, including all who left, stayed in Sri lanka,

Starting in 1965 onwards, can pass on, the wealth of experience,

As never before attempted or achieved in sri lanka.

Many are doing just that,

This is an attempt to do more.

All beliefs, all philosophies, all teachings,

Emphasize the significance of taking care of the ill, the sick, the needy.

The origin of Thera Peutics,

From the Sanskrit Thera Putta.

Regards

And love to all
