Zusammenfassung:The stimulating atmosphere of academic medicine, the exchange of ideas and breath-taking advances in gastroenterology that he witnessed at PGIMER so impressed Dr Balakrishnan that he vowed to bring this superspecialty to his home state, Kerala. During his stint at Trivandrum Medical College, he published a classic book, Chronic pancreatitis in India, which laid emphasis on the prevalence of this disease in Kerala. Later in life, he was troubled by health problems and required repeated hospitalizations for coronary artery disease and surgical interventions.
