Hi, my name is Doctor Suhail. I'm originally from Bangalore. My mother was paralyzed and bedridden following a neck injury from a fall about three years ago. After spending almost six months in hospital in Mangalore, her transition from hospital to home was extremely challenging. Even though being a doctor and knowing what her needs were, I soon realized there isn't any home healthcare facilities in Mangalore to meet my mother's complex needs.
During this difficult time, I was fortunate to have met Doctor Sushil, who has wealth of knowledge and experience with rehabilitation for spinal cord injury patients. He did regular home consultations and was taking care of all her medical issues from treating infections to
tracheostomy and pressure ulcer care, and also communicating with physiotherapists, carers and advising on appropriate splints and assistive devices. As a result, all my mother's needs were met at home and she never required to be hospitalized during this period. From my mother's experience, I know how difficult and challenging it is to manage similar complex patients at home and also the difficulties to taking them to hospital. Home based care can make life easy for both patient and family and at the same time a reasonable and safe care can be provided at doorsteps. I would highly recommend Dr. Sushil's home based rehabilitation services and wish him and his team all the very best.
