"Just because [U P Devkota] came from a village and excelled in his studies i certainly would not idolise him as a great surgeon. It takes a lot more to become a really great surgeon."

Agreed.

Here is what it takes.
One interesting theory.

oohi
ashu

Eminitrader:


To crack open the fourth ventrical of your brain was done back in 1979 in europe, for dr chang in west bengal it was a routine practice since late 80' and throughout 90 and I am sure he still performs such procedures. BS 2054 in daily kantipur new year special issue upendra claimed he was the first person to risk with that kind of surgery. He added that after spending hundreds of hours with american surgeons he claimed" this is first time even in the field of neuro-surgery!!!!".

And to your question what I do for living? that not something you want to know I assume,but since you asked here it is: I work for a medical research institute, and yes I do know the difference between an expert and pioneer.

Suraj Singh Thakuri is a VJ with kantipur TV.Who the Fuuuk nominated him anyway? Ani Nirnaya ? Topi r pant ramo sanga launa jaandaina ko ho tyo manche kasari Influential bhayo kunni.

how about Khem gurung,whose songs was rock the country.
where is MAHA.their comedy is still parallizing all nepal.
Dr.baburam bhattrai?????and Dr.upendra devkota?????????????? i read some thread ,yhose r all their personal they don't represent all neplese voice.sorry about those sick mind who couldn't find out this word in this situation.

Does Vijay Lama deserves the title here too? It says pilot, singer and actor in his description. Just a curiosity.

Does Upedra Devkota deserve to be one of the top 49 men in Nepal? I don't know. I personally have found him very rude and disrespectful.

Okay, here's my personal experience. After waiting for many days, and with, what we call in Nepal-source-force, just to have him see my unconscious father's CT-Scan report, he was being treated more than the best Neuro-Suregeon of the world. In the return he proved to be very rude and disrespectful. While I was there, his fellow doctors said that he is capricious.

Je paye tyai....tyo list ma bhako haru.......
Yaha pani Nepotism ho ki kya ho??haha....

Well....Social Worker - ANURADHA KOIRALA? She is not there.....i think she should be there........MaitiNepal.....
VOW is voice of women and how they miss Anuradha koirala of MaitiNepal.......Is it a joke?

Nirnaya re...haha...JPT...

VOW is related to BOSS magazine......well i think they have to do enough research on this title...more than assumption.........This list makes them(VOW)
look hypocrite.......

tshetensherpa,

ke ho saathi thread ko title padna birsiyo ki kya ho? Nepal's top 49 Men in VOW magazine ma ANURADHA KOIRALA ta FEMALE bhako le napareko ho ki? sth to think about hm...

haha....Ae...ma ta tyo k re...Gauri Pradhan bhaneko kt bhanthanera....haha...sorrie sorrie....:D

for those of you criticising Dr Devkota, how many of you would have DARED to say NO to king G during his ultra powerful reign?

Think.

If you were in his place what would you have done?

thulo kura garna sajilo huncha keta ho!

Oh, and for those of you complaining about him being rude and not respecting you, well, it depends on personality. Devkota has ALWAYS been like that. You can't have world class brain or neurosurgery and good respect at the same time necessarily.

And I do agree he is a pioneer. He saved my mum's life. Ok, maybe I am biased here. But pioneering means doing something for the first time. He may not have pioneered brain surgery, but he certainly pioneered it in Nepal.

As far as his high fees are concerned, there are MANY neurosurgeons as good as Dr Devkota now. People should goto them. Ad yeah, he is loaded, he is already building a new hospital and research centre where MANY other neurosurgeons will be working. Guess he deserves some cash for all that hard work.

Oh, and King G's present- that black BMW, mercedes whatver..hehe, Devkots can afford literally doezens of those with ease.

Avg price of surgey- Rs. 50,000. Does about 5 or 6 a day.

go figure.
