Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal· Do only old people get Parkinson’s?
· Are tremors the leading symptoms of Parkinson’s?
· Does Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) help?
The author answers these questions and many more through his personal stories and experiences. A Parkinson’s patient for the last six years, he takes us through his emotional and physical journey about living with Parkinson’s.
The book serves as an excellent handbook for newly diagnosed and existing patients, care partners and family members. Written from a patient’s point of view, the book is a quick read for all who want to familiarize themselves with the disease. This also gives the practicing doctors and health workers an insight into the thoughts, emotions and expectations of Parkinson’s patients.
Some of the questions such as how does one emotionally cope with the diagnosis of a critical illness or how does one communicate the diagnosis to one’s near and dear ones are faced by not only Parkinson’s but all the patients diagnosed with a critical illness.
This perhaps is the first book written by a Parkinson’s patient in India. The author believes that the socio-cultural context makes a significant difference in the way one responds to an illness.
A book that is both absorbing and informative…
