A doctor by profession from West Bengal, used to guide a lot of people. He used to see a lot of people in his profession as he got involved in helping people to recover from ailments. However, a turning point came in his life when he started having a few complications. He experienced extreme fatigue and breathlessness in addition to losing consciousness.
He was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy. Despite being a qualified doctor, he was unable to tackle this illness on his own. The medicines along with other supporting systems failed to give satisfactory results. It was then that his doctor suggested a heart transplant.
“His heart was failing him, and he was failing his patients,” remarked Dr. Srinath Vijayasekharan, a heart and lung transplant surgeon. He is also a renowned cardiothoracic and transplant surgeon, who handles all kinds of challenging surgeries with dexterity.
“As a doctor he knew the challenges it would pose but he had the guts to go through with it,” adds Dr. Srinath. “We tried our best to restore his health and help him get back to work.”
Dr. Srinath further adds that they wanted him to get back to his profession as a doctor after the transplant. In a closely-knit and well-monitored transplant procedure, Dr. Srinath, along with Dr. Senthil Kumar and his team, transplanted a new heart in the patient. The doctor further adds that the surgery went well and the patient recovered miraculously.
These days, [Patient’s Name] walks back into his profession as a doctor with a new heart. It has given him a new lease of life.
“It was indeed special for us to help this doctor,” says Dr. Srinath. “This makes us understand that a doctor also needs a transplant to continue helping people.”
