ನನಗೆ ನೀರುಕಲ್ಲು ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಯಿಂದ ತುಂಬಾ ನೋವು ಆಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಡಾ. ರವಿ ಶಂಕರ್ ಬಿ ಅವರು ಸರ್ಜರಿ ಮಾಡಿಸಿ, ನನ್ನ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗೆ ಪರಿಹಾರ ತಂದರು. ಅವರ ಅನುಭವದಿಂದ ನನಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಸಹಾಯವಾಯಿತು, ಮತ್ತು ಈಗ ನಾನು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ಆರೋಗ್ಯವಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

నాకు నెఫ్రోటిక్ సిండ్రోమ్ అనే కిడ్నీ సమస్య వుందని తెలిసి భయపడ్డాను. డాక్టర్ రవి శంకర్ గారు నా పరిస్థితిని అర్థం చేసుకొని, సరైన చికిత్స ద్వారా నన్ను ఆరోగ్యవంతంగా మార్చారు. ఆయన సలహా ఎంతో ప్రోత్సహించింది.
