Earlier this week, someone asked me what causes constipation. Diet and hydration is important, but here are some of the other causes #4KMedEd

Bengal has always been home to some of India’s greatest intellectuals. None, however, had a more tragic fate than Dr Subhas Mukhopadhyay. His is a tale of genius and betrayal, like no other.

Born in Hazaribagh in 1931, D Mukhopadhyay was a hardworking student. It wasn’t uncommon do BSc before MBBS in those days and Dr Mukhopadhyay finished his BSc in Physiology. The inner workings of the human body fascinated him and propelled him to do MBBS. There was no turning back. Armed with his background in physiology and a keen eye for research, he got his PhD in Reproductive Physiology in 1958. Amazingly he went on to get his *second* PhD in Reproductive Endocrinology from University of Edinburgh in 1967.

He joined as lecturer in physiology in the NRS Medical college, Calcutta - where he would go on to create history. Like most Indian researchers, he didn’t have access to costly equipment or dedicated lab. His weapon was his passion. He told his wife,Namita, that they would delay starting a family, since he had to focus on his work on creating a test tube baby.

He created India’s first and the world’s second test tube baby “Durga”, a mere 67 days after the first test tube baby was born in the UK.While the British doctors Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards enjoyed institutional support, Dr Subhas had to swim against the current.

His achievement created jealousy among colleagues and social ostracism - perhaps he was too ahead of his times. The then CPIM government harassed him - he was a straightforward man, unwilling to bend to bureaucratic whims and fancies. This would later prove to be his undoing.

The govt appointed committee had the gall to call his work bogus.He was quickly transferred to Ophthalmology department, thus curtailing his ability to work. He sought help from the Indian government to present his work in Tokyo. He was denied and his wings were clipped. Everywhere he turned, the doors were slammed shut.

On 19th June 1981, Namita Mukhopadhyay walked into their apartment, only to find her husband’s hanging body. His suicide note read “ I can’t wait everyday for a heart attack to kill me”.

Ignominy and suicide were the reward for the double PhD who had delayed starting his own family, so that he could offer hope to others with infertility.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Dr Mukhopadhyay could have been relegated to the footnote of history, had it not been for another doctor T.C. Anandkumar, who years later, produced India’s second test tube baby in Mumbai. He gave Dr Subhas the much deserved credit as he understood the enormity of Dr Mukhopadhyay’s achievement better than anyone else.

The wheels of history started turning in Dr Mukhopadhyay’s favour, twenty years after his death. In true “Indian style”, a statue was erected in Hazaribagh to honor him. His life was made into a movie - Ek Doctor ki Maut (Tapan Sinha). The reproductive endocrinology department of NRS Medical College was named after him. In an IVF conference, “Durga”, the first test tube baby came out and revealed her identity at the age of 25 ,as Kanupriya Agarwal.

However, nothing could replace Namita Mukhopadhyay’s lost husband and life. When, they told the news of his delayed recognition, she wasn’t in a state to smile - she was paralyzed, the final blow after a lifetime of neglect.

While Dr Mukhopadhyay’s success against all odds is unique, the animosity and apathy he faced isn’t.The Indian crab mentality of “If I can’t have it, you can’t have it too” continues to plague our science. Bureaucratic interference and nepotism are sadly the norm.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Unless we solve the issues that led to Dr Subhash’s death, we can’t even claim delayed justice. And we will continue to lose such great minds.

Surgical pathology is always a challenging rotation but a time for growth with the right support. What tips do practicing pathologists have for residents completing their surgical pathology rotations?
