Lieutenant Governor Launches Book “Healer in Exile: The Untold Story of Dr. Sushil Razdan”

JAMMU : The Lieutenant Governor, Shri Manoj Sinha, on Wednesday launched the book, “Healer in Exile: The Untold Story of Dr. Sushil Razdan” authored by his son Sachin Razdan.

Addressing the gathering, the Lieutenant Governor said that Dr. Sushil Razdan stands among India’s leading neurologists and his contributions in the medical field remain unmatched.

“The story of Dr. Sushil Razdan’s life conveys a significant lesson of committing yourself to the selfless service of others. It is a sacred duty to place the needs of the person before you above your own and see society not merely as a city or village, but as a community of responsibilities, where true fulfilment lies in dedicating one’s strength to the care of its most vulnerable population,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor said that the central message of this book is profound and what makes a doctor truly exceptional is not only skill in treatment, but the ability to serve with compassion.

Today, some experts in healthcare claim that artificial intelligence will transform the healthcare sector and it will deliver treatments with flawless precision. I hold a different view. Technology can indeed support diagnosis and treatment in important ways, but it cannot replace the spirit of service. No instrument of AI can embody or substitute this essence of care with compassion,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor said that Dr. Sushil Razdan bore the anguish of being uprooted from his soil. He said the pain of leaving behind roots and cherished homes defies expression and like countless fellow Kashmiri Pandits, Dr. Razdan endured this sorrow, yet he remained steadfast, striving to preserve his heritage, values and spirit of self-less service.

“Dr. Sushil Razdan has touched millions of lives, ensuring with utter devotion that patients recover to nurture families and contribute to nation-building,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
