Fondly called as Gaddoo, Dr. Vinay is the eldest child out of 5, born to Late Mr. Narendra Hirba Sawardekar and Mrs. Ratanbai Sawardekar. 26th July 1952 being his birth year at Old Goa Medical College. Life as a child was sorted with pleasant memories still fresh. Summer holidays being well spent at maternal granny place at Arpora with cousins definitely a cherishable and Beautiful ‘Pithara’ of Fun filled Happy Moments captured by the Grey matter…. Festivals had a new meaning then wherein all the kiddos in the family got together making a Halla Gulla together and Sir enjoyed Ganesh Chaturthi the best wherein Bappa was welcomed by them with Crackers. I bet must have been fun. Crackers were limited in good old days and hence Chaturthi was a festival kids eagerly wait. Education lays the brick for growth of all individuals it’s said; Schooling is the first step to it which began at New Ancestral House at Savordem Educational Institute, Curchorem Goa… wherein Sir, has fond memories of his Teachers, Friends and School. He would take part in extracurricular activities especially Sports- Cricket, Table Tennis( esp in College days). The most wonderful memories of school are Gatherings…Sports day….School picnics…. Sir, as I suppose everyone knows is quite humble and down to earth right from his childhood and academically has always been Brilliant, hence after passing from School he went on complete his Higher education from Dhempe College of Arts and Science, Panaji Goa. Later joined Medicine ( Joined on request on Parents). His relative Dr. Sonu Kamat took the initiative and got him the form for admission of the Entrance Exam for Medical Seat at Karnataka to be selected on basis of Merit. In those days 5 seats were reserved for Goans in Karnataka. He passed successful the same and did his 1st year MBBS at Mysore Medical College, but due to the sudden demise of his Father, had to take transfer to Goa Medical College, Goa to complete his remaining studies. Later he went ahead to do his MD Paediatrics from Mumbai. Struggles never let him down be it during MBBS time when he had to transfer to a new college or he had to start a new venture back in his home town in Goa. In 1987, when Dr. Vinay decided to start his practice he says, ‘I couldn’t afford to buy the premises to start the clinic outright, so I had to take a loan by mortgaging our house at Panaji’. It may sound plain and simple now but the uncertainty and dilemma Sir must have faced at that time is understandable. 5 | Page IAP Goa E-Bulletin; E- BULLETIN November 2018 Issue 5; GOA STATE CHAPTER For Private Circulation ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It takes a whole lot of courage to start and jump into a new setup by you. And in this journey you need a STRONG SUPPORT. Sir, found this support in form of his wife Mrs. Sunila Sawrdekar whom he says, ‘Tey mahnun hav mago’ – SHE IS MY WHOLE AND SOUL . A guide and a friend Madam has been with him through all his good and bad days. Recently when Sir met with a very horrifying accident she made it sure that she gave him all the comforts with utmost care and to the best possible making him his priority always. Sir, has been in Private practice for almost 37 years, and believes that ‘Doctor being a Noble Profession, people look at you as second to God, You have to fulfill their expectations of Good treatment with utmost devotion and sincerity’. Being a Peadiatrician, he feels the best part of his profession is that to see the Smile of the Mothers face after treating the Sick Babies. He didn’t limit his good work to his clinic. He is an active member of IAP – Goa Chapter- and as a President our State brought laurels to it (BEST BRANCH) under his guidance. He was felicitated by Rotary Club Margao for implementing Child Health Programmes, Medical Camps including Pulse Polio. At COMHAD-UK 2011 At Goa Pedicon 2011 held at At Belgavi for Rotary District conference in association with Zuri under able guidance of Dr. Confernce IAP Goa Chapter held at Goa Vinay Sawardekar Medical College Ups and Downs are a part and parcel of everyone’s life and career. Each case teaches you something new. Some cases remain as memory forever. Dr. Vinay narrated one such case , ‘ Once I had admitted a child in Hospital for fever and vomiting. I had started him on IV Fluids. Next day he started complaining of headache and the father requested me to visit him on Sunday. So I examined him and found meningeal signs. Further on explained to the father the need to shift to GMC. I spoke to Dr. Sunita Gaunekar and explained the case. She agreed with me after listening to the history and examination findings and proceeded with further investigations – Lumbar Puncture.
