Bøker av Yogesh Gupta

In a war imagine what happens if the same soldier whom we have put trustto protect us suddenly feels other way. So in a pandemic which was evenworse than a war, the healthcare industry which was trusted upon by themankind to protect and treat got mutated.Virus was an enemy whom we all knew was causing the devastation but thenit got the deadlier ally. And when they both mutated the devastation wasunimaginable.As a doctor who was in the middle of the whole war against the virus therewere day and days of events and real stories that happened around me. Thisshaped my belief that if we forget this whole episode as a nightmare thenmay be in future we will not be prepared for the worst of the pandemics.I am a private medical doctor in the city of Ahmedabad in India. The citywas one of the hot bed for the Covid pandemic. We went through some ofthe worst days of our lives. So when I put this side of the pandemic it willbe truth and only truth. I call upon all of you to go once again throughthis pandemic with me and see if I have being correct in my assessment.Could many more lives being saved is the question that will send the shiverdown the spine.

Dr Yogesh Gupta became a degree holder of Medicine in the year 2003. He is practicing since then in city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. In 20 years of practice and 10 years of studies before that has given him an insight of Indian healthcare system. He has seen many changes happening in this period from nursing home culture to corporate hospital culture. From cash patient to cashless patient to free treatment culture in India.In between he got married to a beautiful intelligent wife, a research scientist Dr. Geeta Gupta. Both of them were blessed with two beautiful angel's daughter Manya and Arayna. Their presence gave him a purpose in life apart from service to patients.He strongly believes that in medical education and medical practice there is a huge difference. Medical education is good enough to provide a degree to practice. But real thing starts when we practice that medicine in real situations. The book that we read, the lectures we attended and the theory we cramped for exams where only to get degree. Then what happens when the doctor start practicing, he or she always feels that they were cheated during education. So much was left untouched during studies.Knowing and learning about Indian healthcare led to a belief that we are at a crossroad. Either we choose to go and become an Americanized healthcare or we choose to create our own safe and healthy Indian healthcare. But till this is decided by intelligent people and policy makers of India he decided to play safe. Increasing cases of medical negligence, violence against doctors, tirade by media, slavery by corporate hospitals and bullying insurance companies have become a way of life. Let's hope we doctors learn it right and we all pray that we can practice in peace.This is his second book. First book was Covid diaries: Virus vs. We. Writing that book and then looking to the response from the medical fraternity motivated him to write this journey of his. This is non-fiction account of his medical practice. He is sure that doctors will relate to each of the story account. His hope is that medical profession deserves more in India.
