Hello Listeners! I'm Dr. Priya Bhave Chittawar, and I invite you all to this podcast with Robotic surgeon Dr. Sudhir.
Dr. Sudhir Srivastava : a person who can inspire each one of us
A successful cardiothoracic surgeon, he pioneered the robotic technique of performing cardiac bypass surgery. He built a very successful practice in the USA and shifted to India in the sixth decade of this life.
He set up robotic units in India in corporate hospitals in Delhi, but the high cost of Robotic surgery was a deterrent for the common man.
A life changing incidence when a young girl who was the perfect candidate for robotic surgery was unable to afford it and the hospital wouldn’t give her any concession.
This changed the course of Dr. Sudhir's life and he set upon the path to make an affordable surgical robot. This was a road full of obstacles and roadblocks and at a point , he had sold his house and furniture to fund the development.
Join me as I speak to Dr. Sudhir about his journey, his values and his unusual life!
