PART IV : ALTERNATIVE ENGLISH

A. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions (61 – 69) that
follow:

The first detailed description of plastic surgical procedures is found in the
clinical text on Indian surgery, the Sushruta Samhita which incorporates details
of surgical tools and operative techniques. Sushruta wrote, based on the lectures
of his teacher, the famous surgeon king, Devadas.

He taught his pupils to try their knives first on natural as well as artificial
objects resembling diseased parts of the body before undertaking the actual
operations. It is interesting to note that modern surgery stresses, so much upon
simulation, models and cadaver training before actual performance to increase
and improve patient safety.

He stressed on both theoretical and practical training and had famously
remarked once: “The physician who has only the book of knowledge (Sastras)
but unacquainted with the practical methods of treatment or who knows the
practical details of the treatment but from self-confidence, does not study the
books, is unfit to practice his calling.” Sushruta considered surgery to be the most
important branch of all the healing arts, and had performed and described in
detail several complicated operations. This includes operations for intestinal
