After being absent for over a decade, that wise man with stethoscope around his neck and a solution to your ailments, is back in action.
He had probably cured your father and grandfather too of many ailments and knows exactly what runs through your genes.
The concept of family doctors, after fading out for over a decade, is re-emerging and gaining momentum. In the coming days, you don't have to run to a city hospital for every cold or fever.
While some people hate hospital visits, others don't have trust in the doctor-patient relationship. No wonder, the concept of family doctors faded over the years. Why is it coming back now?
"There are certain problems with hospital visits. First, the very thought of visiting a hospital for minor ailments like soar throat or viral fever puts you off so much that you often end up avoiding visiting a doctor. Second, every time while visiting a hospital, you end up meeting a new doctor," said Srinath P, a resident of Malleswaram.
Srinath feels family doctors should be back in practice. However, we are left with no option since the doctor who sits in the local clinic does not seem to be trustworthy, he added.
"In India, the concept of general physicians (GPs) is quite different from that abroad. Here, mostly, medical students who could not specialise in a subject end up being GPs. The government does not bother to train them further. Thus, Nationwide was set up in the middle of last year with the aim of building a network of competent and well-trained doctors," said Dr Shantanu Rahman, medical director, Nationwide.
The organisation is an initiative of a team of doctors who had returned to India after having worked with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK for over 10 years.
Nationwide not only provides opportunities for GPs returning from abroad but also focuses on medical education and training of doctors.
"We are recruiting MBBS doctors from the city and providing them with adequate training. We are evolving a curriculum, keeping Indian patients in mind. Talks are on with the Royal College of General Practitioners of UK and we hope to get affiliated to them soon," added Dr Rahman.
Three clinics and three half clinics of Nationwide in Bangalore run with 12 doctors of which five have migrated from the UK or US and the rest are recruited from the city. Their 600-strong clientele include corporate clients.
"Good communication skills are a must for all our doctors, since we are focusing on making the doctor-patient relation from a top-down approach to a horizontal one," said Dr Rahman.
"A personalised family physician is needed to focus on everyday ailments and chronic disease conditions that can be monitored and treated. But the city lacks a platform to provide adequately qualified and trustworthy physicians," said Suresh Patel, a software engineer from Old Airport Road.
"I used to visit a clinic regularly only to know later that the physician employed by them was not MBBS and had done only some short-term integrated course in medicine," he said.
However, a platform like Nationwide provides qualified and competent family physicians who will call you up asking about your health and send you SMS alerts about your medical tests.Nationwide's physicians will call you up asking about your health and send SMS alerts about your medical tests.

We've been travelling for nearly five years with just a carry-on backpack each, and we do a major assessment of our gear each summer. We get rid of anything we no longer use, replace shabby clothes, and perhaps update our technology.

From June 2011 the trio had stolen 14 four-wheelers, 230 two-wheelers
An idea changed their life, for the worse. P. Deepak Rao and Aditya Sheshadri, two youngsters desperate to cover up their business losses, were upset when a broker told them that they would not get more than Rs. 35,000 for their old Tata Sierra without a no objection certificate.
The vehicle would have fetched Rs. 50,000 if it had a NOC.
Wondering what the broker does with a vehicle lacking a NOC, they realised that he only dismantles and sells it as scrap.
That gave them an idea that vehicles without NOC can be sold, even stolen vehicles.
From June 2011, the two along with an associate T. Vijay lifted 14 four-wheelers and 230 two-wheelers, North Zone DCP Ch. Srikanth said on Tuesday.
The trio's arrest along with a person B. Srinivasulu, who purchased the stolen vehicles, helped the police recover six stolen cars and eight bikes.
The rest of the stolen vehicles, investigators found, were sold as scrap. Deepak and Aditya purchased a bunch of keys without grooves and started stealing vehicles from different parking lots in Kushaiguda, Neredmet, Malkajgiri, Nacharam, Chilkalguda and Trimulgherry.
Set up garage
The two rented an independent building at Dammaiguda on the outskirts of Kushaiguda for Rs. 5,000 a month and turned it into a garage.
"They used to keep the stolen vehicles there and dismantle them using gas cutters. The engine and chassis numbers were erased so as to not leave any trace of evidence," Trimulgherry Inspector P. Ravi Kiran, who busted the gang, said.
The scrap was segregated into iron, aluminium, copper, brass before being sold.
Deepak is the son of retired Lieutenant Colonel P. R. S. Rao.
A graduate, Deepak tried his luck in the IT sector by learning software programming before starting a business involving sale and service of computers at Kushaiguda.
Engineering dropout
His business partner, Aditya dropped out of third year mechanical engineering course. His father is a retired HAL manager.

Iran scoffs at Oscar-winning 'Argo'
Behnam Farahani , 28, a student in Tehran Art University said, he thought competing films "Django" and "Lincoln" were better than "Argo" in terms of structure and theme.
"They deserved more attention. Argo was just a political movie, it was a narration of a political event."
Mohammad Amin Sharifi, a movie fan in Tehran, was less harsh.
"In my opinion, it's a nice movie from technical aspects, and it was on the scale of Hollywood movies. But I don't think it was worth a nomination for Oscar and other awards," he said.
Iran's state-run film industry boycotted this year's Oscars in the wake of an Internet video clip made in the U.S. denigrating the Prophet Muhammad that set off protests across the Muslim world.
The affair was not related to "Argo."
Last year, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi won the Oscar for best foreign film for "A Separation," Iran's first Oscar.
A month before it won, Iranian authorities ordered the closure of the House of Cinema, an independent film group that operated for 20 years and counted Iran's top filmmakers, including Farhadi, among its members.

Nearby Towns Project
Expand Messages
- So first, I want to say that we've made some progress in the inventory for Kańczuga. We've identified a Cadastral Map which is very exciting, and other documents related to the Jewish community from the 18th and 19th centuries. More details to follow, but it's exciting to find previously unknown documents on Kańczuga. We do not yet have copies of these documents. We will first finish the inventory and then start prioritizing copying and indexing.
I mentioned in my last e-mail that I'm going to be organizing a second inventory project to see what is available in the towns and villages that surround Kańczuga. This is because there is so much overlap between these towns and Kańczuga. I've developed a list of 21 towns that are both close to Kańczuga and that have evidence of overlap between families living in those towns and Kańczuga. The towns include:
Lopuszka Mala
Lopuszka Wielka
Hadle Szklarskie
Jawornik Polski
The goal of this project will be to see what records, if any, exist for these towns. After the inventory for all the towns is complete, we will pursue a second follow-up project, or multiple projects, to copy and index whatever records we discover. Most if not all of the people on this list have relatives that lived in these towns, even if you don't realize it. I've tried to compile a list of surnames I've been able to find that show up in other Kańczuga records showing a link to these specific towns. Many of you will find your family names listed. Keep in mind that seeing your family surnames listed does not mean we will find additional family records in these towns, it just means those families are referenced elsewhere as having lived in these towns.
A small selection of surnames I've found connected to these towns: Adler, Birnbach, Braten, Cellerkraut, Engelberg, Kasstecher, Knispel, Langsam, Morsel, Ringelheim, Sauerhaft, Scherz, Schiffman, Silberman, Stelzer, Susskind, Waldmann, Weintraub, Wiesenfeld
I've set up a web page which has the full list of surnames and additional information listed. Feel free to take a look:
I will be mentioning this page in a forthcoming e-mail to various other e-mail lists (Gesher Galicia, JewishGen, etc.) to find people who may be researching these towns (and not realized that Kańczuga was connected), and the mentioned family names.
The goal will be to raise $80/town for all the towns before getting started. Certainly if you see your family surname mentioned and want to help fund that town's inventory, that's great, but keep in mind that there is close interconnections between all of these towns, and we probably don't know all the towns that our families lived in, so the goal is to fund all of them at the same time. To that end, the goal is to raise 21 donations of $80 each, and the donations are not strictly tied to the towns themselves (since we are waiting until they are all funded before getting started).
I'm happy to announce that one generous donor has already funded 7 out of the 21 slots already, one third of the funding we need to get started. I hope each of you reading this will help contribute to this project, so we can all expand our knowledge and understanding of our families from this area. It is certainly my hope that this project will provide information that none of would otherwise have even known existed, and thus would never find without this project.
All the best,
Philip Trauring

Gull chicks beg for food from their parents. Peacocks spread their tails to attract potential mates. Meerkats alert family members of the approach of predators. But are these--and other animals--sometimes dishonest? That's what William Searcy and Stephen Nowicki ask in The Evolution of Animal Communication. They take on the fascinating yet perplexing question of the dependability of animal signaling systems.
The book probes such phenomena as the begging of nesting birds, alarm calls in squirrels and primates, carotenoid coloration in fish and birds, the calls of frogs and toads, and weapon displays in crustaceans. Do these signals convey accurate information about the signaler, its future behavior, or its environment? Or do they mislead receivers in a way that benefits the signaler? For example, is the begging chick really hungry as its cries indicate or is it lobbying to get more food than its brothers and sisters?
Searcy and Nowicki take on these and other questions by developing clear definitions of key issues, by reviewing the most relevant empirical data and game theory models available, and by asking how well theory matches data. They find that animal communication is largely reliable--but that this basic reliability also allows the clever deceiver to flourish. Well researched and clearly written, their book provides new insight into animal communication, behavior, and evolution.
