The Vanishing Connection: A Doctor’s Plea for a Healthier Future

The face of Punni Majhi still lingers in my memories, though her story is now two decades old. A frail woman abandoned and suffering, yet filled with hope—hope that I, a surgeon, could bring her back to life. I did. Not for money, not for fame, but because that’s what doctors do.

In my thirty years of practice, I have met countless Punnis—patients who came broken, desperate, clinging to the last thread of faith. And I have seen doctors, thousands of them, working tirelessly, sacrificing sleep, comfort, and sometimes even their own health to save lives. No contracts, no negotiations—just pure service.

But something has changed.

The hands that once healed with freedom are now tied by policies, insurance mandates, and corporate hospitals. The connection that once existed between a doctor and a patient has faded. The warmth in our touch is now lost behind bureaucratic walls, legal paperwork, and financial negotiations. Today, the system decides how much care a patient deserves—not the doctor, not the patient, not even the need.

Punni’s story, and countless others like hers, were once the heart of medicine. But in today’s world, could I have helped her the same way? Probably not. I would have needed approvals, insurance clearances, and hospital permissions. The surgery would have been delayed, the cost would have been dictated by business executives, and Punni might have never received the care she deserved.

In my thirty years of service, I have realized the biggest missing link in our healthcare journey—Health Consciousness.

Healthcare today is all about disease management, not about understanding health. We wait for sickness to come before we act. We place our trust in pills, policies, and procedures but forget that true health starts from within. What is pure health? Where does it come from? Why don’t we take responsibility for it before sickness arrives?

This missing piece—the awareness, the knowledge, the power to take charge of our own well-being—is the bridge we need to build. And the question is: Who will build it?

The answer is all of us.

If we come together, if we rise beyond the control of corporations and reclaim our health, we can reshape the future. We, at GSHER, are ready to lead this movement. Through No Prescription Point (NPP), we are building a world where people don’t just survive illness but thrive in health. A world where doctors and patients are connected again—not through transactions, but through trust.

Are you ready to be part of this revolution?

Join us. Let’s build a healthier world—together.
