There is no escaping the crimes of the past, discovers Kuppuswamy. The price for smoking away his youth has to be paid. And pay he does, in the form of gross hematuria and bladder cancer. While cancer eats away at his insides, Kuppuswamy does not let it kill his spirit to fight. Fortunately, he is not all alone in this battle, as an army of doctors, support staff, family and friends come to his aid in full force. As he wages a war against the dreaded disease, through several bouts of painful surgery and frequent reviews, a few surprises await him. Amid premature celebrations, minor hiccups and major shocks, Kuppuswamy emerges a winner. Minus a bladder, prostrate and several lymph nodes, Kuppuswamy pads up for a new innings. He realizes that life minus a few organs isn?t all that bad. Though he has to depend on external aids, which initially proves to be cumbersome and embarrassing, Kuppuswamy gradually accepts the new reality even as thoughts invade the cancer conqueror.
No One Fights Alone
This anthology is a compendium of scholarly articles from some renowned doctors about medical ailments, personal and learning experiences, life lessons from M.B.B.S students, caregivers’ experiences in dealing with the maladies their dear ones have been afflicted with, patients talking about their own battles with destiny and stories and poems of hope, renewal and revival by a number of prolific literary writers and poets. On our part, let us believe that the doctor has chosen this profession for the main purpose of alleviating the sufferings of mankind. Nevertheless, he too is a human being with normal desires and aims to lead a comfortable life like all his school mates in other professions. On the other hand, a patient never comes to a doctor out of choice.; he never comes in to chat and say, "how are you". He comes there with great expectations. These are most often achieved, no doubting that. Patients too have doctors as part of the family. If we can empathize with them for their work style, bedtime hours, and strange feeding habits; why not with the doctors struggling with our health. treat them too like our own children. And make them never regret their choice of this profession. This might not be a substitute to medical consultation, but certainly sends out a message of hope and empathy that though we are all fighting our own battles, help is always at hand and certainly no one ever fights alone.
The Agony and Ecstacy of Caregivers (Burnout and Preventive Action)
While tons of praise and empathy for the medical fraternity and for the patients struggling long term exist, very little seems to permeate to the home caregivers forgotten and forlorn. Forever silent throughout the battle and through those self-debilitating years of their lives, they remain among the long-lost perennial sufferers. This book causes a few to speak out, both those who buckled under the strain as also those who came out with joy and satisfaction at the end outcome. The ‘recalled to life’ dear one obliterates all the trauma of the past. We need to be more aware of how difficult the task of care giving is, and show respect and extend a helping hand when such a situation arises. At the very least, she ought to be respected as a human being whose sole purpose in life, for the time being, has been the welfare of the sick husband. This certainly has a cascading effect and a word of appreciation and a simple smile a day will bring more care from the spouse. This book establishes this without an iota of doubt.
