Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach trouble, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Bhattacharya at Manipal actually listened to the whole, messy story. He ordered some different tests, sat me down, and explained it wasn't just one thing, but a combination of a minor thyroid issue and a food intolerance. Figuring it out felt like solving a puzzle, and he was the one who had all the pieces.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Bhattacharya made it so straightforward. The whole thing at the hospital was quick – in and out in a few hours. He explained each step right before he did it, which really helped. The scar is barely there now. It was just a simple thing, but it's a relief to have it done properly.
Parking at the EM Bypass hospital was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole experience turned around. The front desk people found my file quickly even though I was flustered, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, just chatting about the weather. The place felt calm and clean, which matters more than you'd think when you're waiting to see a doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Bhattacharya talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't just speak to me; he crouched down by her chair, looked her in the eye, and used simple words to explain her medication. He had this quiet patience. It wasn't just about treating her fever; it was about treating her with respect, and that meant the world to us.
