My Entry into Genetic Prenatal Diagnosis

Abstract

ith this, The Indian Practitioner is starting a new feature on the life and times of doctors, meant for lighter reading, to inspire, inform and enlighten (or even entertain) our readership of doctors. These pieces, written as first person accounts, will be based on major happenings in a doctor’s career, any life changing episodic anecdote from medical school to medical practice, peer interactions to patient interactions and experiences, episodes that are eye opening, fulfilling or even very frustrating and disappointing or a patient outcome and experience that evoked profound feelings or an absolutely unique achievement or an enterpreneurial venture, or even any incident outside of one’s practice, but important for readers to know. With this we start off the first one on how Dr Jayesh Sheth strode into the field of genetics in the natal field.
