COMMENT: Aires Rodrigues often shoots (his mouth) from the hip. Sometimes, he is right but NOT always. He has made two important claims wrt Dr. Salkar: (1) That he is not an Oncologist as he portrays himself to be (2) That he is accustomed to administering Chemotherapy to already dead patients re# 2: True or Not........IF he is solely relying on hearsay....He can carry on smartly. re #1: IF TRUE.....it is a serious matter.....esp IF there are other trained Oncologists on site in Goa. I am absolutely sure that Aires knows that the Medical Councils in India are subject to the RTI Act. So, Aires......instead of fighting a case in the Court of Public Opinion, Do the right thing. Allow the person you are accusing the opportunity to defend himself or not.....in Court. BTW: I believe that Professional Physicians (and Dentists etc) should stay away from Partisan Politics and Politicians. As Goa Cricket has been tainted, Physicians - unless they personally also are (at least First Class) cricketers themselves or owners of teams, should stay away from holding leadership posts in the Cricket Association. Same with any other sport. jc
