DR BLUE : A Cancer Surgeon’s Journey into the Human Side of Healing

‘Sir, I know the reports are fine. But I just want you to feel my abdomen.’ In this quiet request lies the heart of this book. After four decades in cancer surgery – inside operating rooms, inside families and inside fear – Dr Jagannath reflects on what medicine truly demands: competence without arrogance, courage without drama and science guided by humility. His unique perspective as both a cancer surgeon and a caregiver to his mother shapes the narrative through moving stories drawn from lived experience. Beneath The Blue is not a technical manual. It is a testament to our shared humanity – a book about patients, families, faith, discipline and the enduring power of empathy in an age increasingly driven by technology.
