A 70-year-old retired man named Gokulnath (name changed) noticed changes in his body, including yellow eyes and constant tiredness. He felt that these symptoms were not normal, so he headed to the nearest hospital for a check-up. After an examination and diagnostic tests, the doctor informed him that he had a condition called Obstructive Jaundice. Gokulnath became worried about his health after hearing this news. He talked to his family about the situation, and they decided to seek the best doctor for his treatment.
During a discussion with family and close friends, one of them recommended Dr. Patta Radhakrishna, a well-known Surgical Gastroenterologist in Chennai. From the advice, Gokulnath and his family got an appointment with Dr. Patta Radhakrishna.
Gokulnath and his family reached Chennai and visited MGM Malar Hospital for treatment. During the consultation, Dr. Patta Radhakrishna asked Gokulnath to explain all his symptoms, diagnosis, and concerns. After getting all the information, the doctor recommended more tests to reconfirm the condition. He then explained the nature of his condition in simple terms and recommended a treatment plan called Whipple’s Pancreaticoduodenectomy, a complex but necessary surgical procedure. Additionally, he described the surgery procedure, its risks, and the recovery process.
After a discussion with the doctor, his family members got clarity and understood the need for the surgery. Gokulnath was then admitted to MGM Malar hospital, for the surgery. To get him ready for the procedure, a group of experts performed a thorough physical examination on Gokulnath.
Dr. Radhakrishna and his group successfully finished the procedure. Gokulnath started his recovery journey. He spent a week in the Intensive care unit under close monitoring and later shifted to the regular ward.
Two weeks after the surgery, Gokulnath was discharged with detailed post-operative care instructions. As days turned into weeks, Gokulnath’s health steadily improved. His wounds healed, his appetite returned, and now he could finally sleep without discomfort. A follow-up blood test confirmed that his jaundice was under control, and his health was improved.
Today, Gokulnath and his family feel grateful for the skilled care he received from Dr. Patta Radhakrishna and his team. If you feel any symptoms related to eye color changes or body tiredness don’t delay to get the professional’s help.
