'Dr Devkota is a pioneer in his field.' ..really? how? i've nothing against him personally. i totally agree that he's possibly one of the best neurosurgeons in the country. तर हौवाको भरमा हुँदै नभएको कुरा नलेखौन साथीहरु! संसार कै राम्रो मध्यको एक, बिदेशबाट पनि उनलाई रिफर गर्छन रे जस्ता ह्ल्लाहरुको पछि नलागौं भन्ने मात्र मेरो विचार हो। i did a quick search on his publications in Pubmed (most popular internet database of medical literature), and found only 5 journal articles in his name (that too since 1984). 1: Devkota UP, Aryal KR Result of surgery for ruptured intracranial aneurysms in Nepal. Br J Neurosurg. 2001 Feb;15(1):13-6. PMID: 11303654 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] 2: Joshi SM, Devkota UP.

PMID: 6424849 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] अब तपाईँ भन्नुस् उनी neurosurgery का pioneer कसरी भए? .......भन्दा देख्नेलाई लाज भएर यत्ति लेखेको। नेपालको लागि एकदम राम्रो भन्ने कुरामा मेरो विमति छैन।
