About our doctor

        Since last few years I have been regularly consulting Dr. Aboobecker, a well known diabetologist of Fathima Matha Hospital, Kalpetta, in Wayanad district. Before him I used to take the advice of late Dr, Ramamoorthy, who was a retired HOD of Calicut Medical college. I have noticed lot of similarities between the two, especially in the case of maintaining a rapport with their patients. One such was their capacity to know the patient in totality.  Dr Aboobecker has a unique technique of understanding the patient’s personality as he progressed in the diagnostic process, besides exploring the pathology. I feel this is a must quality for a medical practitioner , in fully knowing his/her patient. Probably he might have imbibed this quality from his parents, whom as I understand are accomplished medical practitioners. Alleviating ailments to the best satisfaction of the patient is a challenge before any doctor. In order to accomplish it, the first and for most is to reach a one to one feeling. For this, it is imperative that the doctor should engage in conversation and attain the confidence of his client. It’s a two way experience. In our first meeting itself he could manage to wander into different areas of my interests and to exchange his likings other than his profession. I could understand that he is an ardent student of history. That was a beginning to both of us to engage in some meaningful dialogues thereafter.  

       On one or two occasions I had to be hospitalized.  Being  chronic diabetes type three patients, me and wife had to meet him periodically to address the fluctuations in our sugar levels and related complications. Each time he helped us to sail through the complexities, like a captain of a ship in troubled waters. In such instances I could easily understand that he, apart from his medical proficiency was a good leader in utilizing the nursing staff to their maximum efficiency. In other words he is a good manager too.

     There is no doubt that the spurt in the list of his patients day by day, would justify my observations. My family is now wholly depended on his care and services. We pray, let the Almighty shower on him and his family lots of blessings as he treads miles and miles in his profession.
