Patient Experience
My 72-year-old father was dismissed by three hospitals before Dr. Purkayastha took his case. He noticed subtle signs of pulmonary hypertension others missed and performed a delicate lung procedure. Dad now tends his garden daily - something we thought was lost forever.
As a marathon runner with cardiomyopathy, I needed a transplant but feared losing my active lifestyle. Dr. Purkayastha not only found me a perfect match but created a revolutionary rehab plan. Six months post-surgery, I've started jogging again under his careful supervision.
Our 8-year-old daughter's congenital heart defect required a complex transplant. Dr. Purkayastha used miniature surgical tools he helped design specifically for pediatric cases. He visited her every morning with dinosaur stickers and explained everything in terms she could understand.
Rushed to Artemis after collapsing at work, Dr. Purkayastha diagnosed me with acute myocarditis. He stayed through the night monitoring my vitals himself, adjusting medications hourly. His dedication during that critical 48-hour window saved my life.
For my routine post-transplant checkup, Dr. Purkayastha noticed slight changes in my EKG that even the machine's algorithm didn't flag. He adjusted my medication dosage based on weather patterns affecting my body - a level of personalized care I've never experienced.
My husband needed an emergency heart-lung transplant during monsoon season. Dr. Purkayastha coordinated with traffic police to ensure the organ transport vehicle reached through flooded streets. His team worked for 14 hours straight without breaks.
As a medical student observing surgeries, I watched Dr. Purkayastha perform a bypass using an innovative suture technique that reduced operation time by 40%. He later spent two hours explaining the biomechanics to me, mentoring the next generation.
After my transplant, I developed unusual complications that puzzled other specialists. Dr. Purkayastha consulted with researchers worldwide and created a custom immunosuppressant cocktail. His global network and willingness to innovate made the difference.
My 85-year-old mother's frailty made her a risky transplant candidate. Dr. Purkayastha developed a pre-habilitation program strengthening her for surgery. He considered not just her heart, but her overall resilience - a holistic approach that worked wonders.
During follow-up, Dr. Purkayastha remembered my fear of hospitals from six months prior. He arranged for my checkups to occur in the garden courtyard, bringing unprecedented comfort to what used to be terrifying visits.
My rare blood type made finding a donor nearly impossible. Dr. Purkayastha pioneered a cross-country organ sharing protocol that located a match 2,000 kilometers away. His administrative innovation was as impressive as his surgical skill.
As a single parent needing transplant surgery, I worried about my children. Dr. Purkayastha's team connected me with support services and even helped arrange school pickups during recovery. He treats the person, not just the patient.
When complications arose during my surgery, Dr. Purkayastha invented a new clamping technique on the spot. The surgical residents told me later they'd never seen such creative problem-solving under pressure.
My follow-up care included a custom nutrition plan based on my cultural dietary restrictions. Dr. Purkayastha worked with a nutritionist to create Indian vegetarian recipes that supported my recovery without compromising my traditions.
