You are right Ajay, but I wrote it from a physician's perspective. All doctors hate to be proven wrong and I will use my mentor, former Chairman and former Dean to illustrate this point. I had been playing tennis regularly with this physician until last year. Several years back, he had chest pain and symptoms of heart attack. He had him rushed to a hospital where he was kept overnight and told that everything is OK. Good news, right?

A few years later, we were playing tennis when he started to have symptoms of heart attack and he was in such a denial because he did not want to be proven wrong twice. Nothing would convince him to go to the ER or call his cardiologist, and he insisted on driving himself to our clinic where the EKG showed evidence of heart attack. Last year, he died of a massive heart attack in his sleep.

Addendum:

My illness has made me realize how important friends are in getting better. All of you have been wonderful and I cannot thank enough for all your support, prayers and good wishes. I am truly blessed.

Dr Sharma,

You have been an inspiration for all of us who regularly visit sports-inda forum. I am among those who do not post regularly but read each and every post for the last 10 years. There is no doubt that your posts liven up the forum and I am sure that it will continue to do so. Look forward to your lists soon. Though i have never seen you, I do consider you to be part of my extended family.

Wishing you speedy recovery,
Nayan

Nayan, I echo your thoughts.

Dr.Sharma must be undergoing surgery now. He is in the best of hands and, like everyone else on this forum, I can't wait to hear back from him. My best wishes to your path of full recovery, Dr.Sharma!

Anyone give Doc's office a call to find out how the surgery went? Maybe we should a give a couple of days so he can fully recover.

I called Dr.Sharma's office and the receptionist told me that everything went well and that Bhushan ji is fine and recovering well in the ICU. He is expected to stay there for the next few days.

It was a big relief to know that!

Our best wishes to you, Dr.Sharma, for a speedy recovery!

Great to know you are doing fine, Bhusan. Looking forward to your top-10 lists on this late night show (for newbies: Dr. Sharma typically posts here late every night apart from smaller posts during the day). We hope you have the best and speediest recovery.
