Dear Dr. Venu,

Having witnessed your passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment over the past 25 years, I can truly understand the emotions you are feeling at this moment. Your ID card—P00006—speaks volumes. ❤️

I have seen your remarkable journey and transformation over the years and hold immense respect for everything you have achieved. You have clearly demonstrated what a doctor can accomplish for an institution when given the trust, freedom, and support.

Your mentor and our Chairman can be truly proud of all that you have done. All of us share that pride. Your contributions to MIMS and to Emergency Medicine have been nothing short of extraordinary.

I know that Aster and MIMS will always remain a part of you, and you will always be an Asterian at heart. This is not an end, but the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in your journey.

Wishing you and your family all the very best.

May God continue to bless you always.

Warm regards,

Dr Jijin

Though I’ve been with you only for the past two years, the impact you’ve made on me is lifelong.

I came to Calicut seeking a job , but what I found under your mentorship was far more.

You showed me what true leadership looks like- clarity in crisis, and compassion at the core.

In these two years, you’ve not only guided me clinically but inspired me to carry myself with purpose and pride. Watching your unwavering commitment to building something bigger than yourself has been a lesson no textbook could teach.I’ll always carry forward your values with gratitude and with pride Sir.

Sir I don’t know, how you are feeling right now because 25 years is a lifetime of sweat, dreams, and sacrifice. To step away must feel like letting go of a piece of yourself. I can only imagine that.

But please know Sir ,your legacy will live on in every emergency department, in every one of us you’ve influenced.

And no matter where, I would always like to be a part of your team...

Thankyou for everything Sir

Forever your student❤️

Dear Venu sir

Almost 12 years ago when I stepped into The Mims Emergency department filled with dreams and ambition at the same time confused with lots of doubts. You stood there, as a strong pillar of constant support, encouragement and guidance which made me confident enough to overcome my fears and every obstacles on the way.

A Great person once said: "The dream begins most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth"

This is exactly what you did sir...you were a mentor, a leader, and a driving force who instilled resilience, empathy, and leadership in all of us. Your tough love pushed us when we hesitated, and you always guided us towards growth. You believed in us and you gave us gentle tugs and sometimes pushed us to our capacities, tested us and which in turn moulded our future and helped us achieve great heights.

I Truly do not have words that can fully express my feelings at this moment. you were not just a teacher but also like a father figure to many of your students. You stood by us even during our most difficult and darkest times.

As you embark on your next Journey, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you have done for me and countless others. The Precious lessons you taught us will always be remembered.

MIMS institute of Emergency Medicine, will not be the same again without you sir. It felt like a second home for all of us not just because of the place but because of the family you helped forge. We came from diverse backgrounds, yet you shaped us into one cohesive, supportive, and unwaveringly strong group. And this proud family continues to grow bigger and stronger spreading their talented wings worldwide

Your hard work has left an indelible mark—not just in the Aster Network, but in all the corners of the World. Thank you for your dedication, wisdom, and inspiration. Even though I’m no longer working there, your influence continues to guide me. As you leave, please know that your legacy lives on in each of us. Wishing you the very best in all your future endeavours, Dear Sir.

🙏 With heartfelt respect and gratitude,

Yours sincerely

Shihana

A long journey Indeed

As I prepare to bid farewell, I do so with a deep sense of emotion, gratitude, and reflection. These ID cards you see here are not just identification—they are symbolic milestones of a journey that began nearly 25 years ago. I joined this great institution on April 16, 2001, as Employee No. P00006—a young anesthesiologist with dreams, determination, and a desire to serve.

From the very beginning, I was fortunate to walk alongside my dear ENT colleagues—Drs. Ravi, Manoj M.P., and Mohanakrishnan. Together, we built not just a department, but the foundation of what would become a pioneering institution in healthcare.

Over the years, I was shaped and mentored by the best. Under the golden era of MIMS Hospital, led by our visionary Chairman Dr. Azad Moopen, I was groomed to look beyond the boundaries of anesthesia. With his unwavering support, I ventured into new territories—introducing Emergency Medicine to India, affiliating with AHA and GWU, establishing PG entrance initiatives, and setting quality benchmarks across the Aster group. His mentorship empowered me to become Director of Emergency Medicine for the entire group—an honor I carried with pride and purpose.

My gratitude extends to Dr. Abdulla Cherayakkat and Prof. Varma, who supported me in my early days, and to board members like ER Salahuddin, ER Rahman, Mr. U. Basheer, Dr. Hamza P.M., Mr. Lukman, and Dr. Abraham Mammen. I also acknowledge the strength and support of leaders like Mr. Ramesh Kumar, Dr. Harish Pillai, Dr. Sooraj, Mr. Farhan, and Dr. Assuma, who were instrumental in expanding Emergency Medicine far beyond MIMS.

My EM leadership team—Drs. Jinesh, Shailesh, Shafi, Johnson, Paul, and Suresh—have been more than colleagues. They’ve been co-visionaries and companions in building an ecosystem of excellence. Today, over 100 EM consultants from our training ecosystem serve in the UK, and nearly 2,000 EMS paramedics trained under Aster EM are working in the Middle East, especially Qatar.

MIMS has never been just a workplace—it has been my second home. I have spent more than two-thirds of my life within these walls, walking these corridors, building friendships and memories that will last forever. I feel especially blessed to have journeyed with my classmates Dr. Ramesh, Dr. Preetha, Dr. Ravi, and Dr. Abid.

My warm thanks to all those I worked closely with in Nursing, HR, Quality, IT, BD, Operations, College of Nursing, MOD, and Canteen. A special salute to our residents, EMS/EMTs, the AHA team, Simulation Centre, Jisna, Reeshma, and the ED admin team—your energy, precision, and dedication have been truly inspiring.

As I step into a new chapter, I leave behind not just a role, but a legacy built together with each of you. Thank you—for your trust, friendship, and collaboration. You have made this journey unforgettable.

With deepest gratitude and warm regards,

Dr. Venugopalan Poovathum Parambil

Consultant – Emergency Medicine
