Dr. Ashok A. Mahashur: An Obituary.

Dr. Mahashur and Dr. Zarir Udwadia built a pulmonology service that has become synonymous with evidence-based ethical clinical practices, with a research track record that not too many private hospitals in the country can claim. The Indian Chest Society, which represents thousands of chest physicians across the country, and has become a leading force for pulmonary medicine in India, and across the world, was founded by Dr. Mahashur and his colleagues in 1981. I realize how incredibly challenging it is to be a physician, researcher, teacher, family man, and friend, and Dr. Mahashur was a rare embodiment of success in each of these roles.
