The problem with being a medical expert

We are one of India's leading IVF clinic, and are considered to be IVF experts. While this is very gratifying, this done have a downside as well. These days, we often find ourselves treating the very difficult patients - couples who have been refused treatment by other infertility doctors; or those who have failed multiple IVF cycles at other clinics.

These are challenging patients, and we enjoy treating them, but the fact remains that they have a poor prognosis, because of medical factors which are beyond our ability to influence.

Life was much simpler in the past, when most of our patients were younger, with simpler medical problems; and easy to treat.

I guess this is the price we pay for progress !
