They say that adversity causes some men to break, while others to break records. Going by the book of the Bombay Orthopaedic Society, there isn't a record that Dr. Ram Chaddha hasn't surpassed. Dr. K. S. Masalawala's Best Paper winner, the youngest member to speak at the Young Surgeons' Forum in WIROC, the Youngest Executive Council member to become a WIROC Secretary, Secretary & Treasurer and Vice President of the B. O. S. and finally wore the mantle of the President of the B. O. S. in its Golden Jubilee Year.

One might be led to believe that he is the luckiest person on earth but the truth is that he has often dared to tread the road less travelled and that has made all the difference. Born to Mr. Manmohan Krishna Chaddha and Mrs. Rajesh Nandini, Ram was their fourth and last son; their earlier progeny being lost to untimely and unnatural deaths.

Getting through school and college with a keen interest in Academics and Dramatics, Dr. Ram joined the L. T. M. M. C. at Sion in 1980. He started his Orthopaedic Residency and trained under Dr. N. S. Laud in 1986. After completing his M.S. (Orth.), he joined the staff of the Hospital as a Lecturer in 1989.

He later resigned from the Department as an Associate Professor and joined the M. I. O. T. Hospitals in Chennai as the Chief of Division - Spine Surgery, which fine-tuned both his skill and capability in patient care and counselling.

Getting back to his karmabhoomi in Mumbai, he joined the Lilavati Hospital as an Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in Spinal Surgery and continues to work there in addition to the Saifee and Wockhardt Hospitals in Mumbai. He is also the Professor and Head of Orthopedics at the K. J. Somaiya Hospital & Medical College.

Additionally, he was the President of the "Association of Spine Surgeons of India (2015-17)", one of the largest recognized Societies of Spine Surgeons in the world, boasting of over 1300 members.

His theme for B. O. S "Truth, transparency and trust in treatment". This reflects the way he looks at himself, as a clinician with the intent to treat; and believes that a doctor can only be godly, not God.
