Yesterday, an 87-year-old gentleman with Parkinson’s disease walked into my clinic — not alone, but with something rare and powerful beside him: 🌿 His son’s unwavering optimism. The father had carefully written down all his complaints — every step, every tremor, every change he noticed. Not out of fear. But out of curiosity and hope. He wasn’t there to give up — He was there to understand, to learn, to walk better. The son? He was glowing with quiet pride and purpose. He wanted his father to live not just long — but well. I saw not just a patient and his caretaker, but two teammates in healing. In that moment, I was reminded — Healing doesn’t always begin with a prescription. Sometimes, it begins with presence. With a patient who still wants to walk better. And a child who still walks beside them. 🩺 Parkinson’s is a challenge — but the spirit we carry into the clinic can make all the difference. #ParkinsonsAwareness #ElderlyCare #NeurologyWithHeart #HealingStories #DrAdvaitKulkarni #CompassionInMedicine #CaregiverStrength
