Every profession has its role models. Every profession has iconic personalities to guide thatprofession. There are stories of great persons in every field. These stories should be part of curriculumof the professional courses, so that the students can imbibe the ideals of great persons and learn thosevalues from their study days. Medical profession is one of the noblest professions. The doctors are like

living gods, as they enable a person to re-live his life and fight out the diseases. The soothing words ofdoctors are the real assurances for any person and his verdict is the verdict more powerful than that ofYam raj (the god of death). I myself an not fortunate to be a part of this great profession, but

fortunately, I present a case study of a great doctor here with a sincere request to adopt this case studyin all medical courses for study by the students. If the students of medical profession can follow Dr. VijayBothra, they will be able to create the doctors our society needs.

An incident with a stranger in the train to Bikaner

"If you have not seen Dr. Vijay Bothra, you have missed something great... you have missed theliving god.... the person who was really an incarnation of the God....the person simply un-comparable to

any living person on this Earth.... you have simply lost the opportunity..." before he could finish, anotherperson intercepted "Dr. Vijay Bothra was not from this Earth, he was from another planet. He had comeas representative of God.."-- He kept saying. Another person tried to interrupt by saying "You know, Dr.Bothra sahib was the only Doctor who would not charge a single penny from patients, he would givemedicines also free...." before he could finish, another person interrupted him and said "Do you knowthat when Dr. Bothra ji was transferred from Bikaner, the whole of Bikaner protested against it and itwas a public outcry and the Chief Minister had to order for his re-instatement to Bikaner due to publicprotests..." before he could finish, another person intercepted "there is only one true Doctor - Dr. Vijay

Bothra, he is really the Doctor we need.." before he could finish, another person intercepted "Vijay jiarranged largest eye donations, and through his Ratan Netra Jyoti Sansthan, largest people havebenefitted from medical facilities... he was the real Ratan of Bharat..."Others intercepted with similarremarks. A slight question about Dr. Vijay Bothra was enough to spark an explosion of remarks. Thisscene happened with me in a train. I was travelling in Kota Hanumangarh Express, which also halts atBikaner. I was browsing my articles on the internet. A stranger sitting nearby had curiosity and read myarticles. When he read my article on Dr. Vijay Bothra, he curiously asked me "Who is Dr. Vijay Bothra". I

remarked, you ask any person in Bikaner, and he would tell you. The person wasn’t convinced (becausehe had never been to Bikaner), so he asked a few persons sitting and gossiping nearby. He was baffleddue to un-anticipated flood of remarks about Dr. Vijay Bothra and more because of his own lack of

knowledge. I would request you also to read my article on Dr. Vijay Bothra, just CLICK HERE

First and the only priority: Patients

Dr. Vijay Bothra was a different person. He didn’t follow other persons of our times. He nevercharged from his patients, even if patients asked him to visit their homes during odd hours. He wouldleave all urgent work when it was the matter of a patient and it may be any patient. He would not leave

his office till all the patients are taken care of. He would forgo his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and allessential activities, when it was the matter of taking care of patients.

Dr. Bothra's Three As: Available, Accessible, Approachable to everyone

It is now almost a year since Dr. Vijay Bothra left us. He has created a vacuum, which will alwaysremain un-fulfilled. Mere remembrance of Dr. Bothra fills you with amazing memories of an evercharming, ever motivating and always a B+ positive person. He was truly a person with rare contagiousand infectious smile. Bikaner, with a population of 5 lakh had one messiah (God), and this person wasalways accessible, available and approachable to every one without any discrimination of caste orotherwise. A shabby pauper would dare not enter a private hospital and would be thrown out of

Government Hospital, but even he would proudly enter the drawing room of Dr. Vijay Bothra withremarks "Doctor Bothra is my own doctor and he will cure me". Dr. Vijay Bothra had some rare qualitiesas a good human being. He understood psychology and thinking of every person. He would speak insuch a tone and such a mesmerizing voice, that due to his care and compassion any wound would get

cured. I had seen that many patients would get satisfaction only after talking to Dr. Bothra.

Bikaner (located in Rajasthan in India) has a large population which has migrated out ofRajasthan. Whenever these persons would get any medical problem, they would telephonically consultDr. Vijay Bothra and would get immense satisfaction when Dr. Bothra would tell them "You will recoversoon". Bikaner, the heart of the Thar Desert offers extremes of weather conditions coupled with

scarcities. Both summer and winter are extreme, and it makes life difficult. The villages are located atdistances and it is difficult to move between them due to lack of infrastructure and transportationfacilities. All these villages had only one hope - Dr. Vijay Bothra. Whenever the people in these villageswould plan to organise a medical camp, they would request Dr. Bothra to come and organise a medicalcamp. Thus for the people of the entire Bikaner region, the only hope was Dr. Vijay Bothra (surprisinglyin this material world, Dr. Bothra would always be available to offer his free services to any person whowould approach).

Dr. Bothra: A great Team Builder for the cause of Medical Care

Dr. Vijay Bothra was a great team builder also. He was able to create a very powerful team ofphilanthropists, doctors, nurses, support staff, thus it was like a fun for him to organise grand medicalcamps with highest level of care and compassion. Probably due to Dr. Bothra's compassionate care andconcerns, all his team members exhibited the rare compassion and care, which would help the patientsto recover fast. At the call of Dr. Vijay Bothra any person would be willing to do anything, just becauseover a period of time, Dr. Bothra had practised the humane values of care, compassion, and concern.

I had a personal experience which I would like to share (it is just an example and many people

have faced similar experiences with Dr. Bothra ji). When my father had fallen ill, he expressed his desirenot to be taken to hospital. I approached Dr. Bothra ji and it was like complete hospital ready in my ownhome in a few minutes. I was able to collect all the required resources and equipments just at a phone-call of Dr. Bothra ji. Just a call from Dr. Bothra enabled me to get all the support staff. Beyond this, the

level of care, compassion and dedication bestowed by these persons was also amazing.

A true role model for generations of Doctors

Dr. Vijay Bothra always aspired to provide best care and compassion to the patients. Hededicated his life to the cause of health care. He is the true legendary in this profession. He shared his

dreams about future with me, and all his dreams were just health care. He told me once that afterretirement, we will request people to set up a community hospital with best facilities and care with freetreatment facilities for people. Let us live his dreams. Let us follow him. Let us prepare our future

doctors on the path of Dr. Vijay Bothra. I dedicate this poem to Dr. Vijay Bothra: -

Ooh, Aah, Aha....Disease, distress, despairs...The other side of lifeWhen the pain is growingWhen agony is grippingWhen the would is achingWhen the life is escapingWhen the future is dwindlingWhen the hope is evaporatingWhen the breath is diminishing

When the death is approachingYet, there is a spark, shiningThere is a future smilingHold on, Hold on, Hold on...Call on, Call on, Call on...The God, who is amidst us,The Doctor, who is to help us,Shed all fears, go ahead, and march ahead,Conquer darkness with touch of the DoctorRe-create dreams with the assurance by the DoctorLet's challenge - the Yam with our God - the Doctor

I earnestly request you all to spread the case study in all Medical Colleges of the world, so thatthe doctors of tomorrow come with dreams of following Dr. Vijay Bothra as a role model. Let us helpour civilization in its resurrection.
