Monika Pansari: Our role extends beyond the operating room or clinic

Monika Pansari, Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist at Fortis Hospital, Bangalore, shared on LinkedIn:

“Navigating the journey through cancer is more than just a physical battle; it is a profound emotional and mental challenge for patients and their caregivers alike.

As medical professionals, it is imperative that we recognize and address the holistic needs of our patients, providing not only medical treatment but also unwavering emotional support.

During such challenging times, our role extends beyond the operating room or clinic; we must be a pillar of strength for our patients and their families, offering compassion, empathy, and guidance every step of the way.

Let us foster an environment of understanding and awareness, ensuring that patients and their loved ones are equipped with the knowledge and support they need to navigate this journey with resilience and hope. Here is one such case where there was complete co-operation from the patient and the family.”
