 I am Dr. Manjunath Prasad, dental surgeon practicing in Bhasveshwar Nagar. My wife, Sheila Prasad, was having a problem in passing these tools. So I took her to the private doctor who happened to be a proctologist and he examined and said hemorrhoids is the problem. And he said it has to be operated. And I said okay and she was operated and after 10 days the problem was not solved and later on I was not satisfied. I went to my family doctor and I told him why don't we take one scanning and CT scan and other things for diagnosis and he said okay fine when we went and got that scanning done and found that there is a changes in the colon. Immediately I contacted Dr. Vidya Sagar another gentleman doctor, very very nice doctor I can say and he did not waste any time immediately he called to the hospital, Manipal hospital and we had a discussion with Dr. Nilesh Reddy and the team and again the scanning and other investigations were done and confirmed that neoplasms of the colon and the rectum. And immediately the chemo doctors did not waste the time they referred me to the Ramayana hospital for radiotherapy which went on for about 25 days. After that the adjuvant therapy they started and after that Dr. Nilesh Reddy took over the patient and started treating with his team of Dr. Rupa and Dr. Shoba and other team. So after that treatment my wife Shila Prasad was referred to Dr. Govind another genius doctor who has got a very good dexterity in his surgery. This was a patient who came to us very anxious with a new diagnosis of rectal cancer. The patient's spouse was himself a healthcare worker and they were really really concerned and they were told elsewhere that the patient would need a permanent bag. Similarly with the right combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery we were able to approach this tumor and reconnect the intestine. We were able to perform a minimally invasive proctectomy or removal of the rectum for rectal cancer for this patient that hastens the recovery. It improves identification of the nerves and other important structures and ensures that the patient's quality of life and functional outcome is the best it can be. And he immediately made a plan and everything and he did the surgery and the elastomy was done with rectal removal. So after that the treatment was going on. When she came to the hospital she was about 65 kilos and when the treatment started radio and chemo the weight went down to 50 and later on now she is slowly picking up and now I am here for the closure of the stoma that is reversal of the stoma which Dr. Govind Nandakumar meticulously did it without any issues and my wife Shilaprasad is slowly recovering the hospital and that's how this Manipal Hospital has become a second house to me for this last year. Certainly the patient needed a temporary bag on the outside but after she completed all her chemotherapy we've been able to close her elastomy and hopefully she will have a good quality of life to go ahead. Overall I can say right from the beginning when you enter the hospital they start wishing you whether it is morning or evening that gives a sort of a you know a homely feeling when you come into the hospital and likewise the hospital staff also they are very very good very kind whether it is chemo or surgery or medical being whatever it is totally by and large the hospital and hospitality and their kindness towards the patients is very very good. Now she's fought a very good battle especially with the help of her family and her ever-loving spouse I think the emotional support that a center a family is really essential to ensure that a patient is able to get through their treatment in a successful way. I am very very very happy with the team of Dr. Govind and his surgical team because they are very very hospitable. At Manipal Hospital's Yashwampur we are proud to say that we have an extensive team of not just doctors but nurses, care coordinators, stoma nurses and it is with this sort of a multi-disciplinary team that we are able to ensure that a patient receives the care they need. My wife is recovering well. I thank you once again to the chemo department Dr. Nilesh, Dr. Rupa, Dr. Shobha and the surgical department Dr. Govind Nandakumar and his team and again Prakash and Tobu. Thank you very much.
