Short Story About SNMH
Destiny played a crucial role in the life of Dr. Patil, the founder of Sumathi Nursing & Maternity Home. It was an accidental meeting with his Hindi teacher, when he was going for admission to Engineering, that steered him away from engineering and got him to do Medicine. The Hindi teacher advised him to take up Medicine, as there is no retirement age for a Doctor, whereas an engineer retires at 60. This sentence was enough to make our Doctor get off the bus and got himself admitted into Medical College. Dr. Patil completed his medicine in 1971 and started his practice in Ranebennur, a small town, till 1980.
Married to Dr. Suvarna Patil, a Family Physician and Obstetrician, they had a roaring practice in Ranebennur. They then shifted to Bengaluru and started their practice in 1980. Soon, both of them started practice in a small clinic in Yeshwanthapur and eventually rented a house and converted it into a 7 bedded Nursing and Maternity Centre. The present hospital was built in 1985 and is now a 22 bedded Mini Multi-speciality Hospital.

The Hindi teacher advised him to take up Medicine, as there is no retirement age for a Doctor, whereas an engineer retires at 60. This sentence was enough to make our Doctor get off the bus and go and join the Medical College. Dr. Patil completed his medicine in 1971 and worked in a small town till 1980. While working in a nursing home, Dr. Patil was looking for a place to start practicing.
Married to a medical graduate, an obstetrician, and a gynaecologist, a medical representative suggested he start practicing at Rannebennur as that place had no clinics or hospitals. Paying heed to him, Dr. Patil and his wife started practice there.Besides destiny driving him to medicine, a divine intervention saved him from a near-fatal accident, where he was treated at a friend’s hospital. When Dr. Patil recovered, the Doctor who treated him showed him the hospital he was building. This is when Dr. Patil decided to have a hospital of his own. Soon, Dr. Patil, at the behest of his relative, came to Bangalore, took a tour of the city on his bike, and zeroed in on a location and started with a 7-bed nursing home, which eventually has grown to a 22-bed nursing home.
