Raj has now published his readable, insightful and at times funny autobiography, Walk with the Weary: Lessons in humanity in healthcare, which is both a severe critique of modern healthcare and a prescription for transformation

If some pass on with anger in their hearts, there aresome others who spread love and joy around them in the brief time they are with us. This is story of a brave young girl whose sweet but painful memory will always be with us.

I hope the custodians and practitioners of the science I have learned—the noble medical science—will be compassionate and remember that there is an art to healing as well.

The book is a recounting of the situations of several of Dr. Rajagopal’s patients over the years through which he brings out beautifully, often poignantly, the cultural issues that exist around Palliative Care in the world today.

Sometimes, we walk a short distance before we realize that we have crossed a pivotal bridge in our lives. I had entered unchartered territory, a terra incognita, sometime in the late 1980s, but I did not yet know it by its true name: palliative care. I had not heard of this term back then, but unknowingly I had plunged headlong into it.

Anyone turning the pages of M.R Rajagopal’s ‘Walk with the Weary’, is in for a pleasant surprise for, in spite of being stories wrapped around heart-wrenching human suffering, the memoir rolls out with ease, akin to stories narrated around a campfire – gripping and animated.
