A human being cannot be seen as the mere sum of parts. All systems need to be seen holistically. An apparently simple ailment like cough may originate from lungs, heart or cranial sinuses. Each system deserves due attention without bias toward the speciality of the treating doctor.
What's more, our psychological, emotional and social state is deeply interlinked with our physical condition. This is a fact that often gets ignored -to gerat peril of patients. Dr. Bansal, with her holistic approach to internal medicine always makies time to understand the psychosocial and emotional world of her patients, which has helped her solve the most 'complex' and 'difficult' challenges.
Diagnostic medicine (such as lab tests and imaging studies etc) has made tremendous advances. However, it is far from perfect. And as such, often times key decisions must be made based on history, examination and a correlation of available evidence. By doing so Dr. Bansal is able to proceed ith confidence and acheive treatment success instead of declining treatment for want of test reports. She beleives in treating patients, not reports.
Similarly, while surgical procedures are often the full and final treatment for hard to treat conditions, Dr. Bansal, in keeping with widely accepted clinical ethics, believes in preserving human anatomy to the greatest extent possible, she believes in acheiving treatment goals through the least invasive means possible. She carefully and escalates up the treatment ladder, step by step: starting with counselling, lifestyle modification, oral medication, IV therapy, inpateint treatment, minimally invasive procedures and only then recommending surgery.
In short, she believes in treating mind body and soul, as a guide by the side, not a sage on the stage.
