Dr. Srinivas Rao T

When my 7-year-old daughter suddenly developed respiratory distress after a severe asthma attack, Dr. Rao's pediatric critical care expertise shone through. He personally monitored her oxygen saturation every hour and adjusted medications with incredible precision. His gentle manner with my terrified child was as impressive as his medical skill.

Rushed to Manipal after a multi-vehicle accident with multiple fractures and internal injuries, I remember Dr. Rao's voice cutting through my pain: 'We've got you.' His coordination between trauma surgery and critical care was seamless - I felt like the entire hospital moved as one team under his direction.

What I thought would be a routine post-operative checkup turned into life-saving intervention when Dr. Rao noticed subtle signs of pulmonary embolism that others might have missed. His obsessive attention to detail during what seemed like a standard follow-up literally saved my life.

My husband's complex heart surgery recovery took a dangerous turn when he developed ARDS. Dr. Rao implemented ECMO therapy with such confidence and skill - watching him lead the team through that crisis was like witnessing a master conductor guide an orchestra through a storm.

My 82-year-old father was admitted with severe pneumonia and sepsis. Dr. Srinivas Rao's team worked tirelessly through the night, using advanced ventilator strategies that I'd never even heard of. His calm explanations to our frightened family made all the difference - we knew we were in expert hands during those critical 72 hours.
