His interview for the top post was unusual and made him stand out. When asked how he would decrease the workload at PGI Chandigarh, pat came a reply from Prof Vivek Lal- "if you want to reduce the workload, I am the wrong choice for this post. I will figure out how to increase it instead and manage it effectively to make the experience of patients smooth." And this response left the selection panel wondering! The result was out. After serving the Neurology department of PGI as Head for 10 years, Prof Vivek Lal was appointed as the new Director of PGI Chandigarh in May 2022. People who know him say he is 'an extreme person'. We concur that someone with strong, unconventional ideas is sure to do path-breaking things!
His closest and favourite is his dog named Biba (fondly Punjabis call their children or daughter by that name), and his 45 minutes morning walk with her makes them feel connected! However, with his new assignment and responsibilities, Biba has to get used to his long absence along with the family members! Here is an engaging, untold conversation between The Lifestyle Journalist Editor-in-Chief Dr Neha Miglani and Director PGIMER, Chandigarh Prof Vivek Lal
