Everything you wanted to know about the second oldest profession in the world.

We always found medical science and history of medicine the perfect topic for a Television series… and when we start our magazine again you will agree: we have traveled the length and breadth of our country to get stories about doctors, medical discoveries, achievements, institutions, personalities, and humour.

We even went to places like the Kos Island where the Father of Modern medicine was born 2,500 years ago: the Island of Hippocrates.

We found the historical medical figures of India like Jivaka, Susruta, and Caraka such fascinating personalities!

A weekly medical magazine.

It features everything you would want to know about the world's second oldest profession.

The healers, healing, history, health, and the viewers. The title has in it the meaning of sharing pain, be it mental, and physical, or that which comes from genetics, is environmental or social. The empathy that will reach out.

Bridge

This series is designed to be like a laymen's bridge to the doctors, medical science and medicine: everything about the world of medicine.

Physicians make an art of pretending they know more than we do, but the real problem is that they know more than they say. They are holding out.

There is nothing as fascinating and so well documented as the history of healing from prehistoric time. There is nothing that matters so much to us all as health. There is nothing that is taking such quantum leaps in progress and hi-tech.
