Join doctor-turned-writer-turned-social-activist Dr Kumar Nirbhay as he explores the absurdities and oddities of the Indian medical world.

In The Great Indian Medico Masala, a collection of stories inspired by real-life incidents, the protagonist, Dr Arun, discovers that life in a hospital is anything but routine. His days are packed with encounters so hilarious, heart-warming, and medically bizarre that even your stress might need ‘ventilator support’.

Within these pages, ward rounds morph into stand-up acts, ‘miracle cures’ arrive inside green coconuts, patients gleefully defy medical logic, and families create more complications than laboratory reports ever could.

Meet the octogenarian flying officer who gets a high ‘flirting’ with his doctor, the mysterious midweek-only virus, and the infamous ‘chakkarometre’, an invention designed to measure dizziness with precision.

Every tale echoes through hospital corridors with equal parts laughter and pain. None of it is invented—and very little of it could have been.
