In 1983 I was a resident of Windsor, my GP was Dr.Prabhu, he had been my GP since early 1980, I always found Dr. Prabhu(and his staff) to be highly professional, caring, and thorough.
In 1983, I awoke one morning with severe pain in my stomach, I was helped to his surgery by two friends, as I started explaining my pain, he said, I know the problem, he softly pushed against my right lower stomach, as I winced, he then said, hospital now, I was immediately admitted to the old Windsor Hospital, a surgeon, Dr. Jacobs, visiting NSW from Adelaide on holiday, was located from a Visiting Surgeons Register in Black town.
As they opened me in surgery, my Appendix burst, they had saved my life by seconds, thanks to Dr.Prabhu's immediate diagnosis.
The Surgeon however, died after being hit head on by a drunk driver on his way back to his Hotel vis Richmond Rd., Dr Jacobs coincidentally had saved me from choking to death with a fishbone in my throat in Naracoorte SA in 1963, and again in the same circumstances in the 70's at the RAH in Adelaide.
To have saved my life again then die as he did was a very moving and sad eerie experience.
Dr. Prabhu, it goes without saying, I would trust him with my life.
However, I haven't seen Dr.Prabhu since I left the Windsor district in approx 1984. read more
