    The term "Hippocratic face" is derived from Latin word "facies Hippocratica".
    The changes which occurs in face after dying or even due prolonged sickness, excessive evacuations, excessive hunger were first described by Hippocrates himself. They are :pinched nose,sunken eyes, the hollow temples, cold and retracted ears, tense and dry skin of the forehead with pendent, relaxed, and cold lips and livid complexion.

    It is caused by Leptospira interrogans, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium (spirochete).
    The disease was discovered in 1886.
    It is transmitted by the urine of an infected animal, and is contagious as long as it is still moist. Deer, cows, sheep, rats, raccoons, possums, voles, skunks, mice, specific marine mammals and even infected dogs may serve as hosts. Dogs may lick the urine of an infected animal off the grass, or drink from an infected puddle.
    There have even been reports of "house dogs" getting Leptospirosis apparently from licking the urine of infected mice that entered the house. There is a direct correlation between the amount of rainfall and the incidence of Leptospirosis, making it seasonal in temperate climates and year-round in tropical climates.
    Men become infected through contact with water, food, or soil containing urine from these infected animals. This may happen by swallowin...    less

    During the early 1900s all prestigious professional posts were held by British I.M.S. officers, while Indians were given only non-clinical appointments. In 1921, the Non-Cooperation movement appealed to GMCites to boycott the British government by leaving G.M.C. Students, Professors and Practitioners began shifting to Topiwala National Medical College near Victoria Gardens. Masses were held between 6-8 p.m. for medical students by famous medical practitioners, all GMCites. To prove that Indians themselves could build and maintain medical institutions without British support, the K.E.M. Hospital and Seth G.S.Medical College where the entire staff was Indian were founded in 1926.  less
