Dr. Atul Jain

While progressing in my career, as a fairly young doctor with scanty practical experience, I worked every day with an ever-growing enthusiasm, pushing the envelope and trying to rise to the challenges that a compact schedule posed on me. I tried to infuse some creativity in the way I examined and counseled the patients about their skin problems. After they share about what affects their health, a part of their life stories is revealed. Although it’s an exchange I no longer equal to, however, I listen to it with a gentle, broad, and accommodative outlook.

Over the years, I have come to understand the tender and fragile nature of human relationships, how some people become fair-weather partners, and desert their spouses when the latter develops scars or diseases. Marriages that have lasted for over a decade break and fall apart, the callous and superficial hue of human nature comes to light. Estranged couples suffer from intense pangs of separation and bear the distasteful effect of skin diseases on their personal lives. On the other hand, when a patient receives the treatment timely, he is saved from bouts of depression and an exacerbated emotional health.
