I literally felt him and saw him too. He was wearing specs. Slim well maintained physique. He spoke in Telugu to me, a language I cherish talking in eventhough I am a Tamilian. He walked with a smile always and an easy manner which is comforting.
I am talking about Dr. A.V.Ganesh Kumar, of Hiranandani Hospital, Mumbai who established the Cardiac Department 6 years ago in Mumbai.
My mother had this peculiar issue of a Diabetic combined with a very high Blood Pressure. She is 72. She was panting whenever she took even a short walks. Dr. Vishal Chopra a fine young man who was treating her for Diabetics felt she should undergo 2D echo and ECG tests which showed certain abonormality.
The real topic is - my mother went through Coronery Angiography and while the process was on we have to carry on with Angioplasty as well. At first, it was scary. Anything to do with heart is always scary. The comfort we felt dealing with Dr. Ganesh Kumar is amazing.
His process of handholding a patient is simple. He talks straight.
When I saw my mother getting discharged the next day I felt a sigh of relief.
I realised I saw god in him ... that too very close.
