- My Prayer
“O God, the almighty divine healer, bless me with the art of healing. Strengthen me with your Holy Spirit. Let the knowledge acquired be bright and illuminant, and second to none. Let there be physical, mental and spiritual health for every one I touch”
“By his stripes we are healed” Isaiah 53:4-5
I have been pursuing the priestly healing ministry of G-d for over 48 years. What I usually say is that G-d decided to use me as an instrument of His healing ministry: A disciple of the “wounded Healer”
G-d uses the healers as instruments of healing because God is Spirit and He chooses certain people to accomplish His purpose. Why He chose me, I don’t know . He’s been using people throughout history, all through history. Every decade he has used other people in ministries. All the way from His apostles down to every generation, there have been instruments of healing. But Jesus is the only healer, the wounded healer.
Let me give a brief history of my career:
After finishing the MBBS (Basic Medical qualification) from the Trivandrum, Medical College, Kerala, India, in 1973, I joined the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) in the directorate of Health services and worked as a Research Medical officer till 1977.
In 1978, I went to UK and worked in various NHS Hospitals- North Shield, Tyne mouth, Newcastle upon Tyne, Guildford-Surrey, Lewisham-London, Manchester, and Ipswich in Suffolk, till 1986.
I got my Post graduate qualifications from the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow and London (FRCS and DLO) in 1980s.
I was fortunate to be trained by the eminent ENT surgeons of UK at that time. I consider it as a blessing to work with the pioneers in the field of Ear Nose and Throat Surgery in UK.
In 1986, I joined the Bahrain Defence Force Hospital (Military Hospital) in the Kingdom of Bahrain. For 18 years I worked as a Consultant ENT surgeon there. I was the ENT surgeon to the late Amir Sheikh Isa Bin Salman Al Kahalifa and H.H. the King of Bahrain Sheikh Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa as well as members of Bahrain\’s Royal Family.
I came back to India in 2004 and worked as ENT Surgeon at the SUT Group of Hospital, Trivandrum, Kerala, South India (From April 2004Â to September 2010).
From 2010- 2023 , I worked as the consultant ENT Surgeon at the Jubilee Memorial Hospital, Palayam, Trivandrum, Kerala, South India, which is Christian mission Hospital serving the poor and needy.
God and doctors work hand in hand.
