In memoriam for Prof. Noshir H. Wadia

چکیده
In those days, MRCP was considered the gold standard for any physician and also a very big challenge. He successfully cleared the MRCP (London) at the first attempt in March 1952. Between 1952 and 1956, he pursued his neurology training in the UK, initially under Mr. G.F. Rowbotham in the department of neurosurgery, Newcastle General Hospital. It was Mr. Rowbotham who strongly recommended him to Sir Russell Brain. At the interview, Sir Russell Brain asked him “will you go back to India or stay here?” Dr. Wadia’s unhesitant answer was “I will go back”. Thus Dr. Wadia became the registrar to the legendary neurologist Sir Russell Brain at the Maide Vale and London Hospital. In 1954, he had some doubts about pursuing a career in neurology and was discouraged by the then Surgeon General of Bombay State’s reply that he should get appointed as a general physician just as many of his contemporaries had already done. He spoke to his mentor, Sir Russell Brain, towards the end of his tenure at the Maide Vale Hospital seeking his advice about the future of his career in neurology. Sir Brain, spoke to his colleague and friend, Dr. Macdonald Critchley and then advised Dr. Wadia to return to Bombay as a neurologist at his alma mater. That is the reason why Sir Russell Brain took Dr. Noshir Wadia to London Hospital, where they had to do general medicine, neurology and emergencies. He was the first Asian to be appointed as a registrar in London Hospital.

Today’s information technology departments have widely varying demands for resources due to unexpected surges in subscriber demands (e.g., a large response to a product promotion).
