As a doctor, you always dream of handling an emergency in the swiftest way, saving the day and becoming a hero. Yet when you face it, you wish your suspicion and diagnosis be wrong, and everyone just makes it out alive! That is the only thought that ran across my mind that moment.

This emotional dilemma is the result of seeing the world through a mirror of right and wrong. And the mirror of a Shrewd Doctor is not the one others would like to hold.

The young doctor had always heard something which he found hard to believe in present scenarios that,”Patient is God.” That lady… That patient on ICU Bed No 3, that patient was God.

There always happen to be two facets of curing the patient. Treating the diagnosis and treating the patient. Yes, they are two separate entities for many a times the latter remains out of our sight. The objectivity of the former complements the subjectivity of the latter. And a job of a doctor is incomplete without realising both facets.
