The Oman Tribune newspaper carried a feature about the work my dad has done for sports medicine in Oman over the past 20 years. Rather disappointingly they didn't upload the actual article onto the newspaper's website, but my mum scanned and sent it to me this morning. I've typed it up and pasted it below. I'm proud to be his son. :) Enjoy and maybe you'll learn something new/useful!
Doctor brings pain to its knees
Chance brought Ramanathan to Oman, his skill keeps him here for two decades, writes Jeta Pillai
It was a chance meeting in England in 1987, with the then head of orthopaedics in Oman that brought Dr EBS Ramanathan to the Sultanate. Ramanathan went on to become the pioneer of sports medicine in the country. He recalls: "On my way back to India from England, I met the then head of orthopaedics, Wahid Al Kharusi, who asked me to come to Oman and then move on to India. But two years have become 20, because this is a good place and very challenging. We had to start sports medicine from scratch. I work mainly in Khoula Hospital, where we have the National Trauma Centre and the National Sports Clinic. Today it is a very busy department."
