Dr. Rajendra Pol

A 65-year-old retired schoolteacher with a history of rheumatoid arthritis developed unexplained bruising. Dr. Pol identified it as an unusual presentation of immune thrombocytopenia triggered by her medication. He pioneered a carefully monitored drug rotation protocol that maintained her arthritis control while resolving the bleeding disorder within 6 weeks without steroids.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia. Dr. Pol assembled a multidisciplinary team to administer arsenic trioxide therapy while monitoring fetal development. She delivered a healthy baby at 36 weeks and achieved complete remission 3 months postpartum, with both mother and child thriving.

A 42-year-old corporate executive presented with extreme fatigue and was found to have polycythemia vera with a rare JAK2 mutation. Dr. Pol designed a personalized treatment plan combining therapeutic phlebotomy with low-dose aspirin and ruxolitinib, allowing the patient to continue working throughout treatment with minimal disruption.

An 8-year-old boy from a remote village was brought in with severe joint pain and was diagnosed with hemophilia B. Dr. Pol established a home infusion program and trained family members in factor IX administration. He also connected them with a support group, transforming the child's prognosis from disability to active participation in modified sports.

A 12-year-old street vendor's daughter from Pune's slums presented with persistent nosebleeds and fatigue. Dr. Pol diagnosed her with severe aplastic anemia, likely triggered by chronic exposure to industrial solvents. With no family support, he arranged crowdfunding for antithymocyte globulin therapy and coordinated with social workers for safe housing. After 9 months of treatment, her bone marrow function recovered completely.
