Ram was a daily wage worker in a factory. He was suffering from Cancer. On hearing this, most of his co-workers, started avoiding him under the impression that it was a contagious disease. When Prof. Srivastava came to know about this, case, he took him to a leading radiologist, who examined him and told that it was at the beginning stage. He advised that it could be easily cured and also certified that it was not a communicable disease. After this, Ram was given proper treatment by the doctor and got cured completely.
