Author, writer, medical contributor, professor, non-interventional nuclear cardiologist, a traveler & nature lover, swimmer & hiker, preaching & teaching healthy living styles while absolutely practicing the same, a father of three, a grand father of four, married to a loving beautiful wife for 40 years, who also shares the same values & love for family, more than anything in the whole wide world, Sharad C. Jaitly, MD has it all!
While Dr. Sharad Jaitly takes you through 45+ years of his medical career since his medical school graduation from Nagpur University in India, the author helps the avid reader in this book to visualize snapshots & glimpses of how medicine has evolved over four decades! From that most time-honored, sacred doctor- patient relationship of yesterday, where a doctor connected with the patient through a most sought-after Human element, to the today’s instant cyber-connection over a wide array of galaxy of blue screens & with an unending streaming of information off the scanners, leaving no dearth of clinical information behind sometimes even without seeing the patient! The author not only points out this contrast, but suggests through his plethora of experiences a bridge that brings the patient far closer to the treating doctor than ever before with the clinical tools now available.
Undoubtedly, the author agrees that the medicine practiced today is far more efficient than the one practiced in those yesteryears, but strongly recommends and shows how to connect the Human element to one patient at a time, through his scores and scores of clinical tools that he offers through this book. Both the patient and the doctor help link this Human element in the discussion for the best clinical outcome, the author so believes!
Moreover, Dr.Jaitly predicts how future of tomorrow’s medicine shall narrow down the hospital beds limited only to the critically ill patients & the ones undergoing massive surgeries, while that the rest will either undergo robotic procedures or have their clinical quandary resolved by artificial intelligence as out patients only, supervised of course by the clinicians!
Author goes on to wonder if this such remarkable efficiency that the spheres of medicine has witnessed over the years shall ultimately allow the physician enough time to return & devote time to the patient’s healing by bedside & or in the clinic once again, for that long awaited Human connection!
This is where every reader shall find oneself to connect that personal encountering experience in a doctors’ office and relate that very Human element that contributed to one’s healing in the process.
