Her tenure began with a monumental crucible in 1984: on her very first day as director, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was rushed to AIIMS after being shot. In this frank, candid, and riveting memoir, Dr. Bhargava shares a harrowing first-hand account of that historic crisis alongside fascinating tales from the annals of Indian medicine. From being present when the CT scanner was first announced in the US in the 1970s—and successfully convincing the Indian government to bring the technology home—to diagnosing a sitting president with lung cancer from a single X-ray and searching for mysteriously missing radium needles, this book is chock-full of extraordinary stories.
