Hands of God
Arvind Yadav has met up with some of the top doctors in India and has written a wonderful tome about these extraordinary people and how they handled hundreds of patients year after year. Arvind found how less health literacy was associated with worse quality of life, worse physical function and more emergency department utilization for heart patients. And how these legendary surgeons worked to make the impossible possible. Top doctors interviewed in the book have opened up, and patients are now understanding and remembering encounters in the operation theatres. This is a fascinating read between the white-coated physician and the paper-wrapped patient. Arvind says why it is important for patients – even those who are fully clothed – to ask questions, and doctors to answer. Shantanu Guha Ray Wharton-trained, award-winning journalist

The Indomitable Chemist
Prof. CNR Rao is a living legend. Einstein paid a compliment to Mahatma Gandhi on his 70th birthday. He said, “Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth”. On Prof. Rao’s birthday, I would repeat these words. Prof. Rao is not an individual, he is an institution, he is a phenomenon. I feel lucky that our generations could see him, touch him, feel him, experience him, learn from him and get inspired by him. I have watched Prof. Rao as a scientist, as a science leader, as a science institution builder and indeed as a leader of leaders of science. I have also watched him as a wonderful, warm-hearted hu...

A Master Surgeon in Love with Humanity
'A Master Surgeon in love with Humanity’ delineates the story of renowned surgeon Dr. Shyama Prasad. An avid reader since childhood, Shyama Prasad was the brightest among all his siblings. Driven with mounds of inquisitiveness, he was inclined to heuristic approaches and was always passionate for pressing himself with empirical practices to grasp the concepts better. He was infused with the knack of performing surgeries right from his days as a student. There were moments when he was at his wits’ end. Nevertheless, his diligent pursuit of excellence in his field aided to his metier. The book beautifully melds historical accounts with the story of the doctor and provides the readers insights to some major events that betided earlier. Furthermore, the book recounts the story of Shyama Prasad's father, Dr. Sundaraiah and allows readers to delve in. A depiction of Sundaraiah's fair share of struggle inscribed in the book suffices to establish that it is the story of a father and son who moved mountains to attain the fount of unparalleled success.

The Saviours of the Vitals
The stories of doctors giving new lives to patients suffering from diseases happen to be quite interesting. There can emerge interesting and vivacious shades of colours in times of lull in the medical journey or throughout the course of this journey.

But many similarities can be drawn from the three stories.

Prof. CNR Rao is a living legend. Einstein paid a compliment to Mahatma Gandhi on his 70th birthday. He said “Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth”. At Prof. Rao’s 85th birthday, I would like to repeat these words. Prof. Rao is not an individual, he is an institution, he is a phenomenon. I feel lucky that our generations could see him, touch him, feel him, experience him, learn from him and get inspired by him. I have watched Prof. Rao as a scientist, as a science leader, as a science institution builder and indeed as a leader of leaders of science. I have also watched him as a wonderful warm hearted human being with abundance of empathy. I have seen his child like enthusiasm. I have watched him as `courage personified’. Dr. R.A. Mashelkar, FRS National Research Professor
