Being an Oncologist, How I evolved. | DR. SWARUPA MITRA | TEDxLLDIMS

I have been treating patients suffering from cancer for over 2 decades....Being diagnosed with cancer is an overwhelmingly stressful situation. Being their doctor, counsellor, healer, caregiver is intensely challenging. Treatment for Cancer is a long, tumultuous path where it is the oncologist who stays with the patient and the family through out their journey and after. Witnessing the desperation, the fight, the surrender, the moments of victory and the minutes of despair of my patients have unknowingly changed my entire being. They have made me more modest, thankful, empathetic and natural. I have come to realise how priceless each moment of my life is, with the opportunity to just be on this earth, privileged to be able to watch the sunrise and the sunset, the seasons going by. The quest for longing and aspitations are so short living... what remains always till the end of life and after is the little differences that one can bring in another one's life with small deeds of kindness, smile and love. That is my sojourn of evolution.
