Of the many good things in Tehelka, is Personal Histories -- loved by many for its real-ness. Here, it's about cancer. Have always believed cancer is one disease where doctors make their money without having to save lives...tired of seeing a patient dying? Just raise that dose of radiation. Never mind if the patient's too frail to take it...she'll at least be gone sooner...
Heard it's not the case at CMC Vellore where my friend goes for treatment. His enormous will to survive, prayer and providence apart, dedicated service by CMC Vellore's doctors seems to have worked well too. No wonder, with a hand that's missing, he still has the ability to smile.
Ninety-nine per cent of patients are not that lucky.
