Rahul Bhargava, Director and Head of Hematology, Hematooncology, and Stem Cell Transplant at Fortis Health Care, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Day +9 of BMT, in one of our outreach centres in Bihar.
Not the platelets, not the hemoglobin,
Not even the silent WBC count…
But you.
The first whisper of life – Monocytes.
You arrive quietly,
Yet you carry the loudest promise.
A seed sown days ago,
Now pushing through the soil of marrow,
Becoming a sapling of hope.
Tomorrow – counts will rise.
In days, a forest will return.
Red cells will breathe life,
Platelets will guard the flow,
And the body will remember…
How to live again.
O beloved Monocytes,
You don’t just appear in reports –
You restore faith.”
