NZUSI Newsletter Website: www.nzusi.org President's Message Dear Nzusians Warm Greetings from Meerut At the very outset I wish to express my thanks and gratitude for choosing me to head this organization of ours for the year 2018-2019. I feel humbled as I see the illustrious personalities who have adorned this post and shall try my best to maintain the legacy created by them. I wish all members and their loved ones a very contended, peaceful and satisfying 2019. December and January are joyous months and a time for celebrations. I am sure our members shall make the most of these festive times. As we step into 2019, we have the 52nd USICON at Bhubaneswar. A special meeting for us; as our very own, Dr M S Agarwal takes over as President USI and under his stewardship expect USI to soar higher. 2019 has a unique line up of midterm meetings. Starting with 'Food for Mind, Body and Soul' at Dehradun; viewing tigers at Ranthambore as we dwell on 'Medico Legal' matters and continuing our outreach program with neighboring countries, the 'Indo Bhutan Urology Conclave' at Thimpu featuring the under discussed ' Para Urology'. The year ends with our show stopper - 29th NZUSICON at Greater Noida. The council has taken note of the constructive criticism of our NZUSICONs and intends to take path breaking decisions to satisfy the evolving needs of our members. I look forward to working with our President Elect, Dr Amlesh Seth; first ever Secretary Elect, Dr Anup Kumar; dashing treasurer, Dr Vijay Bora. I am privileged to have such an energetic and open minded secretary like Dr Shivam Priyadarshi and a very supportive council to help run the society as per expectations of our members. I would like to draw the attention of our members to our friend as well as foe - Radiation. Radiation is immensely helpful both for diagnosis and treatment and without it we shall be severely handicapped. However at the same time, radiation is a mammoth risk to our health and well being. We need not be as naive as Marie Curie, who carried radioactive material in her coat pockets and marveled that they glowed in the darkness. Even the famous actor of yesterdays - John Wayne and crew of the movie 'The Conqueror' perished due to exposure from atomic tests conducted 100 miles away from their shooting site in USA. We need to conform to standards set by AERB and rigorously wear shielding and our dosimeters. Regular checking of the shielding and periodic review of the dosimeter is as essential as anything else.
