We look abroad for medical consultation and facilities as a matter of habit. Yet, the other day, a fellow Nepali who lives in London consulted a specialist for his eye ailment. After a thorough investigation the specialist commented, "You're from Nepal, you have the renowned Dr Ruit and Tilganga for treatment." We've always identified ourselves with Gurkhas and Everest. Now we have another reference point, Dr Ruit and Tilganga.
