In Jansi Rani (video titled Mrs. Jeyalakshmi)’s own words

Transcript of the video above.

My name is Jansi Rani. I have come to this hospital from the Bypass Road in Madurai. About ten days ago, for a week, I was in great distress with leg pain. I could not walk, could not stand. I struggled greatly, unable to do any work at all. After that — I had already been coming here through a pharmacist called Padmanarayanan, who is my son. Through him I had already been taking treatment and tablets for about 2 years for small leg pain problems. Because all of that had cured me well, and because this pain had become very bad, I said there was no other way, and came and asked and did the admission. Then they took an MRI scan and told me. It was only on seeing that that we knew; they said a nerve in the hip, in that cervical area, had been pressing. After that that nerve pain came like an electric shock. I struggled greatly with no sleep at night. After that, once I was admitted, they gave the treatment here, Thailadhara and the churnam powder, morning and evening. The therapist put me in a wheelchair and took me along and gave the treatment very kindly and well. Today it is 10 days and I feel reasonably much better; that unbearable pain I had before has reduced. And then the other workers, the staff nurses, and then housekeeping, all of it was good. It was really very satisfying to the heart. The food was all right too, reasonably good. The doctors came and saw me and went, once a day, daily in the evening or the morning, and came and saw me and carefully asked all my problems and put them right and changed the treatment to suit and looked after me well. Now I feel really well. Compared with when I came, I feel so much better now. Today they have told me to go home and take about 15 days' rest. Do not strain, look after yourself, they have said. Today I am being discharged. I feel really well; it is good. It was Dr. Biju I was consulting. And then I saw madam Sreejaas well and took good treatment. Both of them came daily and saw me and asked all my problems and put them right and did this. In everything — giving the tablets, giving the medicine — the doctors took good care. And then at the time of admission I had had both doses of Covishield. It was only after updating that vaccination certificate that I came and was admitted here. So I have no problem at all. It is really good. Thank you very much to everyone.
