Want to share a wonderful experience I had with Dr. Bobby Chacko, Nephrologist at Apollo hospital, Bangalore. I was diagnosed to have kidney failure at a nursing home nearby and went to Apollo emergency with lot of apprehension. Dr. Chacko came to the emergency and put me at ease with his reassuring words and calm demeanor. He told me that I could have some drug allergy which has resulted in kidney failure and advised me to undergo a kidney biopsy which was required to confirm diagnosis and commence appropriate treatment. For someone who is visiting any hospital for the first time I was scared. Dr. Chacko explained the procedure in detail and did the procedure on the same day after some blood tests. Diagnosis was confirmed on biopsy the results of which was got within 48 hours and treatment was started.
My creatinine which was 4.5 came down to normal in a week. My family and I are indebted to Dr. Chacko for his timely intervention and more importantly his confidence and reassurance all along. It is rare to see such a learned doctor who smiles and takes time to explain. A thorough professional.
God bless him !!!
