Patient Experience
A 45-year-old homemaker from Faridabad with no significant medical history presented with acute liver failure of unknown origin. Dr. Gupta coordinated with multiple specialists and implemented an experimental molecular adsorbent recirculating system (MARS) therapy. After 6 weeks of critical care, the patient's liver function gradually returned, though she requires lifelong monitoring.
67-year-old retired banker from Delhi developed Guillain-Barré syndrome following a viral illness. Dr. Gupta initiated early plasma exchange combined with aggressive physical therapy in the ICU. The patient's recovery was gradual over 4 months, but he eventually regained near-complete motor function, exceeding initial prognostic expectations.
A 31-year-old software engineer from Gurugram was transferred from a smaller hospital with refractory status epilepticus. Dr. Gupta employed a multi-modal approach including ketamine infusion and therapeutic hypothermia. The patient required 3 weeks of ICU management but achieved seizure control and returned to work with modified duties after 6 months.
58-year-old shopkeeper from Ghaziabad with known coronary artery disease developed cardiogenic shock post-MI. Dr. Gupta utilized percutaneous mechanical circulatory support with an Impella device when conventional inotropes failed. The patient showed significant improvement within 48 hours and was discharged home after 3 weeks with optimized medical therapy.
A 42-year-old farmer from Haryana presented with organophosphate poisoning after pesticide exposure. Dr. Gupta managed the case with continuous atropine infusion and early pralidoxime administration, closely monitoring for intermediate syndrome. The patient recovered fully after 2 weeks and received extensive education on agricultural safety practices.
81-year-old retired professor with multiple comorbidities developed hospital-acquired pneumonia with ARDS. Dr. Gupta implemented lung-protective ventilation with prone positioning and conservative fluid management. Despite initial poor prognosis, the patient survived after 4 weeks of intensive care and was transferred to a long-term facility for continued recovery.
A 29-year-old pregnant woman at 32 weeks gestation was admitted with peripartum cardiomyopathy and acute heart failure. Dr. Gupta coordinated with obstetricians to manage both maternal and fetal wellbeing, utilizing specialized hemodynamic monitoring. The patient delivered a healthy baby via cesarean section in the ICU and showed significant cardiac improvement postpartum.
53-year-old auto-rickshaw driver with uncontrolled hypertension presented with hemorrhagic stroke. Dr. Gupta employed targeted temperature management and aggressive blood pressure control using continuous arterial monitoring. The patient demonstrated remarkable neurological recovery despite initial Glasgow Coma Scale of 6, returning to independent living after 3 months of rehabilitation.
A 17-year-old student from a remote village was transferred with tetanus infection following a neglected foot injury. Dr. Gupta managed severe autonomic dysfunction with magnesium sulfate infusion and minimal sedation. The patient required 6 weeks of ICU care but achieved complete recovery, serving as an educational case for rural vaccination awareness programs.
47-year-old restaurant owner developed acute pancreatitis with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Dr. Gupta implemented early enteral nutrition and targeted antibiotic prophylaxis against infected necrosis. The patient's recovery was complicated but ultimately successful after 8 weeks of intensive care management and multiple interventional procedures.
Teenage acne so severe I wouldn't leave my room - Dr. Bambroo created a custom treatment combining Ayurvedic herbs with laser therapy that cleared my skin without the harsh side effects of traditional medications.
My 82-year-old father had a sudden ischemic stroke at midnight. Dr. Mukesh Kumar rushed to Artemis Hospital within 20 minutes of our call. His calm demeanor while performing emergency thrombectomy saved Dad's mobility - today he's walking with minimal assistance. The way he explained the procedure using simple analogies made us feel secure during the most terrifying night of our lives.
As a migraine sufferer for 15 years, I'd seen numerous neurologists without relief. Dr. Kumar discovered my cerebral venous sinus stenosis through advanced imaging and performed a venous stenting procedure. For the first time since college, I've gone three months without debilitating headaches. His innovative approach changed everything.
Our 8-year-old daughter needed embolization for a rare brain AVM. Dr. Kumar created a teddy bear with 'superhero veins' to explain the procedure to her. During the complex 6-hour surgery, he updated us hourly. She's now back to gymnastics, and we have his drawing of her 'fixed superhero veins' framed in her room.
Following my coiling procedure for a ruptured aneurysm, Dr. Kumar personally called me every evening for the first week post-discharge. His attention to recovery details - from medication timing to specific head positioning - made me feel cared for beyond the operating room. At my 3-month follow-up, he remembered my preference for sitting on the left side of the examination table.
When my wife's carotid artery dissection required urgent intervention during COVID restrictions, Dr. Kumar arranged for me to video call directly into the cath lab. Watching him work while explaining each step gave me incredible peace. His team even held the tablet at different angles so I could see the monitor showing successful stent placement.
As a medical student observing neurointerventional procedures, I specifically requested to shadow Dr. Kumar. He turned each case into a teaching moment, explaining hemodynamic principles and device selection criteria. During a particularly challenging vertebrobasilar case, he had me calculate pressure gradients while he worked - the most educational 4 hours of my training.
My mother's recurrent TIAs were misdiagnosed as anxiety for months. Dr. Kumar identified intracranial atherosclerosis and performed angioplasty with drug-eluting stents. What impressed me most was how he adjusted his communication style - technical with me (a pharmacist) while using garden hose analogies with my mother. Two years later, zero episodes.
After my mechanical thrombectomy, Dr. Kumar noticed I was struggling with post-procedure anxiety. He connected me with a former patient who'd undergone similar treatment and now runs marathons. This peer support, combined with his detailed recovery roadmap, gave me the confidence to return to my teaching job.
During my emergency subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment, Dr. Kumar's team encountered an unexpected vessel tortuosity. Instead of proceeding, he paused, consulted two international colleagues via video conference, and developed a modified approach. This commitment to collective wisdom over ego likely prevented complications.
