I have had the opportunity to personally interact with Dr.Venugopal on a few occasions, and he had , on all such occasions, come out as an extremely arrogant person. But all said and done he has 2 great deeds to his credit. The first human heart transplant in Inda and the furtherance of stem cell research. Also, whatever may be the faults of Dr.Venugopal there can be no comaparison between him and Anbumani Ramdoss. Institutes of excellence in research should be let to function in peace and not threatened just because the government funds it. It is not actually the government but the people of India who fund it. And if the people of India die for want of medical care the in betweens like the health minister are to blame. It is not humility and subservience that one looks for in ones surgeon but skill and innovation and brilliance.
