The best thing that happens when you write in public is that strangers write back.
Over the years, letters have arrived from former students now practising in distant cities, from families who recognised a patient I had described, from physicians who had faced the same ethical impasse in their own wards, and from readers who simply wanted to say that something they read here had stayed with them. Those letters matter more than I can easily say.
If something on this site moved you, troubled you, or reminded you of something you had nearly forgotten — I would be glad to hear from you. I read every letter. I reply when I can, though the ward does not always cooperate.

I live and work in Sevagram, a small village in the Wardha district of Maharashtra, at the hospital that has been my home since 1982.
