Care Philosophy
I approach my patients at personal level, just like the heart is described in two aspects- its physical purpose in the body and the non-physical purpose as described in the arts and books. I like to know my patients not just from physical aspects but also from emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. The different organs of the body are all interconnected. So is a person’s spiritual, mental and physical aspects are connected to make the person who they are. As physicians, we have to be aware to treat not just one aspect of a patient, but treat the patient as a whole.
