Sharing my TB experience with Dr. Parthiv Shah. Dr. Parthiv Shah is undoubtedly the best doctor for tuberculosis in Mumbai. This is my story on how Dr. Parthiv shah helped me to conquer TB.
It all started back in the very first week of Dec 2020, initially, I had mild fever, thinking it just might be some kind of viral infection, I didn’t give it much attention. A few days later, I started feeling dizzy and noticed a rise in my body temperature. After 3-4 follow-ups from our local family doctor, we got to know there’s a pleural effusion in the left side of my lungs. Our doctor advised me to be hospitalized at the earliest for proper treatment. Eventually, I got admitted in a nearby private hospital. After 2-3 days, the concerned doctor said that I was diagnosed with typhoid. Later it was confirmed I had TB, which broke down me a bit. After a total of 6 days, I got discharged, following the medication and injections. Half a month of inconsistent misdiagnoses, treatment with powerful medication and injections, I started losing my hearing, lost appetite which gradually led to weight loss and weakness, making me emotionally unstable. Giving our family doctor a visit, he suggested taking a second opinion of a well-versed doctor. Without giving a second thought, we headed off to Dr. Parthiv Shah. The very first visit turned out to be great, never met such a compassionate and committed doctor before. He explained the whole treatment with such professionalism and patience which made my parents and myself believe that he’ll surely give me the required treatment. Soon I got admitted again under Dr. Shah’s supervision, following some minor tests. He even understood our financial instability and supported us through the whole process. He took care of my transfer procedure to Sion hospital too. From writing off my detailed history to connecting me to a doctor at Sion all was done by him. Somewhere I was all pleased that he was lessening our burden. From constantly having a temperature of 104 since a month, it dropped to 98 and I was discharged from Sion. I had to take AKT, anti-tuberculosis medicines. After 9 months of frequent follow-ups from Dr. Parthiv and Dr. Jayraj from Sion Hospital, I finally got TB free on the 22nd of Oct, 2021. So glad that we got guided and treated by Dr. Parthiv Shah emotionally, financially, and most importantly mentally. It’s hard to find such trustworthy doctors. You are the best Doctor. God bless you.
