“Some Angels Come to Heal Us Too”.         🧠 75-year-old lady came to me, but left something with me too.

She walked into the clinic — pleasant, chubby, warm-hearted — accompanied by her daughter.

Her complaint?

Restlessness and sleeplessness, ever since her brother’s passing a month ago.

The diagnosis was clear: reactive anxiety and grief-related depression.

But what touched me wasn’t the case.

It was the trust she had in her healing… and in me.

She looked into my eyes and said something I’ll never forget:

“Doctor, I know I will get better with your medicine… within days.”

And when I reassured her gently that a short course of treatment would help —

She smiled, held my hand like a mother…

And blessed me — as though I was her own son.

As doctors, we often believe we’re here to heal others.

But that day, I realised —

Some angels come to be healed, and end up healing us too.

Her love, her faith, her energy… it stayed with me.

I left the OPD not just as a doctor — but as a human, touched by grace.

💡 Scientific Insight:

Reactive anxiety and depression, especially in the elderly after grief, respond remarkably well to a short, supportive intervention — when met with empathy and connection.

Message:

Some patients walk in seeking help.

But they leave behind blessings, warmth… and sometimes, they heal something in us.
