THE BIRTH PROPHECY AND GROWING UP

The doctor gives all the credit for who he is today to his mother, since he says, she knew that her son will become a cardiac surgeon one day! Dr. K. M. Cherian’s father was an employee of KannanDevan Tea (A Sterling Company) and his mother a home maker lived on the hills of Munnar where this accurate prediction was done by a tribal chief who predicted that it will be a boy and he will born on a Sunday afternoon and will have a mole on his right wrist. The prediction indeed came true and he was born on 8th march 1942.

He did his schooling in Kerala and completed his MBBS degree from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal and pursued his further education in St. Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney Australia and he also did his FRACS in Cardiothoracic surgery. He was the first Indian in St Vincent’s Hospital to pursue his masters.
