Aprašymas

Dr. Padmavati, the first woman cardiologist and a pioneer in the field, has not only witnessed the unfolding of the specialty in her lifetime but has also made a substantial contribution.

This book contains memories and accounts of her deep involvement in the field of cardiology and her philosophy about medicine in general. Through the book, she inspires not just women but all those who aspire to know the subject of Cardiology as she deftly describes the development of cardiology in the present situation worldwide-including India.

With wit and humor, she chronicles her early days in British Burma and gives a peep into the exciting twists and turns of the Burmese history and her people right up to the Second World War.

She also writes eloquently about the close bonding with family and friends while growing up and getting educated there with strong Tamil roots nurtured by her mother. The poor and underprivileged benefitted equally under her expert care.
