Dear People, with Love and Care, Your Doctors by Debraj Shome, Aparna Govil Bhaskar
4.0

Doctors were held high as God once due to the doctor-patients relationship bond and the trust they had on each other. but in recent times, you could see so many mistakes and practicing in a medical world like it's a business is a common scene. This also has an equal and opposite side to it on the patients part where they file complain against doctors and hospitals just to escape from paying the fees. So these two authors have come forward to collect the stories of doctors and patients to make us understand that there are still doctors out there who put all their efforts and sacrifice their personal lives for us and there are still patients out there who hold the doctors in respectable position and talk high of them from their own experiences. It took them two years to compile it all and get to the publisher. And of course it's a non-fiction, you could have understood it by now.

The flow of the writing was so smooth inspite of polyphonic narration. some of the stories were beautiful and somewhere really heart breaking. It contained all the emotions from happiness, sadness to pain and loss. It's an eye opener and I think, should be read by everyone. I especially loved their introduction part on why they wanted to do this. They have taken a genuine effort to come with this. and the stories were authentic too. It was just too empathetic and awesome. Worth reading it. and I would definitely recommend.
