No, this is not an excerpt from a SR (Satyajit Ray) plot. It is a real life SE story featuring Prof. Bhattacharyya. He is a man far beyond his erudition and great eminence. Comfortable living by himself in his South Kolkata home, the hero in our story manages tricky medical conditions, while still serving as honorary President of the Indian Centre for Space Physics (ICSP).
Beginning of June, however, things turned a trifle uncomfortable because he had breathing difficulties and suspected some nerve problem. Support Elders was, of course, right beside him and, as advised by his doctor, got him admitted to a well-known hospital in South Kolkata for a checkup. There were worrying issues: a nerve problem, a lung infection and the MRI scan also showed clots in the brain. Not a good position for someone with no relatives in Kolkata and just a few students. Or did this really matter?
Support Elders became the family that he needed, stayed with him right through the hospital stay and kept in touch with the doctors and hospital, managed all tests and report collections, ensured that all medications were available and kept his relatives posted. He even discussed the expenses of treatment with the Indian Centre for Space Physics, which took care of substantial costs.
Support Elders is happy to talk to him and his doctor every day, keeping both informed and keeping the relatives posted about developments.
