Tomorrow, a talk that the Asiatic Society of Mumbai’s Mumbai Research Centre (MRC) is organising on the occasion of National Doctors’ Day, will shed more light on that turbulent period,   with its broader theme being Medicine in Bombay Through the Ages. Dr Farokh Udwadia will host it and MRC chairperson Dr Shehernaz Nalwalla, who curated the event, tells us, “He is going to talk about the early doctors in the city and how different medicines were made, apart from the effects of the plague.” She adds that 90-year-old Udwadia has a huge fan following in the city, and that diverse other interests such as literature and music add colour to his understanding of medicines. So, tune in and listen to the talk, at a time when the city’s medical history is being permanently written into the annals of the future yet again.
