Rabindranath operated his piles

It was Surendranath (standing) who did a big job. Rabindranath had come to England for two reasons. Firstly, to take some rest from his normal busy hours, and secondly, for treatment of his piles. But he could not get rest in England and his treatment did not improve. The bleeding due to piles had increased and there was no way other than to get it operated. In America he wanted to try for homeopathy but that too was of no progress. At last Surendranath made  him convince for undergoing operation and he examined it by the Royal Madical man Sir Thomas Barlow .    

Sir Thomas Barlow, 1st Baronet KCVO FRS FRCP (4 November 1845 – 15 January 1945) was a British royal physician, known for his research on infantile scurvy.

Plaque to Thomas Barlow at his birthplace, Brandwood Fold, Edgworth.Barlow was the son of a Lancashire cotton manufacturer and Mayor of Bolton, James Barlow (1819–1887). The family were well known as philanthropists in their home village of Edgworth where they funded charities connected with the Methodist church including the Children's Home.

He studied as an undergraduate at Manchester and London. University College London (UCL) Bachelor of Medicine (BM) in 1873 and Doctor of Medicine (MD) 1874. He became a registrar at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and later a physician and in 1899 a consultant. He was professor at the UCL from 1895 to 1907, initially of paediatrics and later of clinical medicine. Barlow's disease — infantile scurvy — is named after him

Rabindranath was operated in a Nursing Home named Duchess Nursing Home  on 30th June, 1913, by Dr. Pollard.
It took about  about a month for his recovery.
In the evening of 10th July the Abbey Theatre Company staged a drama Post Office (dakghar) of Tagore in the Court Theatre situated in Sloane- Square and a drama written by J.M Singhe titled "The well of the saints".  On 12th July, May Sinclair and Evelyn Underhill in two separate letters praised high of the drama of Tagore.
