Health is wealth. Many say that health is everything and without health, there is nothing that one can do. It is unfortunate that people take their health and bodies for granted. People need to be sure about what they eat and what they use on their bodies to ensure that their health does not get affected.

One understands the value of health only when it's gone. Health is something which needs to be valued and preserved. It is precious. One needs to do everything that one needs to ensure that health remains intact.

I write about all this here because last week, a friend of mine had a major meltdown due to the poor health. We had all gone out for lunch where she burst out and told us that she is scared to visit a doctor and is tired of having to deal with piercing pain in her knee. It was amazing how she underestimated the power of medical science.

I contact the best orthopedic surgeons in Delhi and got her an appointment with one of the best doctors in town. After the task of getting an appointment was over, I had another task to persuade her to come to the doctor.

She visited the doctor and told me that she was very scared. I provided her with mental support and she finally convinced herself to go with me. After her session with the doctor she was convinced that she was in the best hands possible. The doctor was one of the best when it came to total knee replacement surgery in India.

My friend got all the more convinced when she heard another of her friend who praised the doctor for being one of the best surgeons in Delhi. The friend had praised the doctor not for his treatment but also for the fact that the doctor's team also provided rehabilitative services to the patient. There were special physiotherapy sessions available at the hospital and the patients were slowly put on the road to health and recovery after the surgery. The doctor was also awarded as one of the best hip replacement surgeon in India.

It is through my friend's experience that I learnt that health such an important part of one's life and every one must take care of health. One must know that hurdles, no matter how big they are can be crossed if one's health is with oneself.
