Today
I express my thankfulness to Emmanuel’s doctor – Dr Ramesh Karra Reddy, a
pediatrician who has been taking care of Emmanuel for almost 5 years, the best
thing of this doctor is that he loved Emmanuel and was always kind, and even refused
to charge for him, he had a soft corner for down syndrome children, and he has
regular down syndrome children coming to him for treatment at his clinic.
Dear
Doctor,
I am
so happy that you were my son’s doctor, for my son Emmanuel was very comfortable
and always felt at home at your clinic.
You were very kind to us and we appreciate you for understanding our
child and provided him with the best of treatment.
We never felt the need for another doctor in
the last five years of our son’s life. Myself
and my husband David felt always
welcomed at your clinic, and we could easily manage simple problems our child
like cold, cough, congestion or any other problem, you were always there for us at your clinic, despite the fact that your clinic was
always full, filled with small babies and kids, who come to you for treatment.
Emmanuel
was always given preference in your clinic, and we were very happy to have a doctor just close by to
my house, who was not only a medical doctor, but a person who loved kids, and
trained his staff in the clinic to orient mothers on immunization, hygiene, and
systematically maintained a diary for each child.
Dr
Ramesh, I want to thank you for being available for consultations throughout
Emmanuel’s treatment, both at your clinic and also at the hospital; where
Emmanuel was admitted, thanks for your visits
in the evening hours to find out his progress – I knew that you were the best
doctor for Emmanuel as you never
suggested hospitalization, when not required.
So I could manage Emmanuel very well at home for the last 5 years.
Thank
you for inspiring me with your word, when I visited your clinic after
Emmanuel’s death, to get a summary from you. I can never forget what you spoke to me, even
though I was completely off balance,
and could not handle myself, and found difficult to control my tears, your
words were empowering me, and still rings in my ears till today. I recall your
words as follows:
“
Angela, I am very sorry to hear about Emmanuel, I have no words to comfort you,
still I want you to know that, you have done your best, and I have tried my
best and it is very unfortunate that he could not survive, but let me tell you,
that in my experience as a doctor, I have seen parents who do a lot for their
children, as they are sure, that one day their children will be achievers in
life, who will make them proud as doctors/engineers etc carry on their names, but I have seen very few parents who can do so much for a special child, you have chosen to do the most difficult thing,
you are surely blessed, I have only done
my part – if you require any further
help, you are most welcome to my clinic”
Your
words made a lot of difference to my mind, and gave me strength to carry on and
still empowers me. Thank you for all that you did for my child! I shall always
remember you with gratitude in my life!
Be Blessed & Be Happy !
