The Magic of Indian Medicine
Jostling crowd, crying kids, supplicated by stench of antiseptic – not an ideal place for stories to start.
But in real life, most stories end up here – the chaotic ‘Indian hospital’.
Caught between the ailing patient, the angry relatives and poor infrastructure, the ‘Indian’ doctor is supposed to offer magical cure. As he tries his best to pull a rabbit or two, out of his white coat pocket, the heavy emotional sandbag on his shoulder weighs him down.
The unedited experience for you to laugh and cry.
About the Author: Dr Tiny Nair, MD, DM, FACC, FRCP heads the department of cardiology at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum, Kerala. Despite his busy schedule of patient care and teaching, he is a prolific speaker, an author (4 books), a regular writer in newspaper columns, and a ‘TopWriter 2018’ in Quora (blog).
He is the recipient of the ‘Best Doctor Award’ by the Govt of Kerala and ‘Most Inspiring Doctor of India Award’ by the Economic Times.
He lives in Trivandrum with his wife Deepa, son Akash, and daughter Parvathy.

Very interesting set of tales. Started off very interesting, but becomes repetitive towards the end. Not something to be finished in one sitting. Take your time and read a few at a go.

Genius!
Absolutely entertaining insight in the world of medicine by a good doctor.
Frank and non intimidating explaination about the same professional day to day life.

Had me chuckling at most pages and getting choked up at others. Every doctor in India can identify with the scenarios portrayed in this book.

3 star only because I have been following his quora account where I had read all 80 stories.
Content is 5 star but only if you don't follow the doctor on quora otherwise it's just revision.
