Increasing heart attacks in young professionals? | Dr Pal

It was heartbreaking to hear that a 41 year old cardiologist died due to cardiac arrest.

News says that we don’t know why he had a heart attack. He was young,, non-smoker, teetotaler and very active working for 14 hours a day, done 16,000 cardiac surgeries,

We are missing the biggest elephant in the room - working 14 hours and doing 16.000 cardiac surgeries by the age of 41 is not a positive thin

Most people underestimate the power of stress. Stress can kill people.

I wish people who recommend 70 hours a week work pay attention to this

Dr Pal, very true. People push themselves hard the first 40 years of life and the next 40 years is a misery for the family.😢

Fantastic message Dr Pal. This society over exaggerate this over workaholic culture. Your message is simple common sense. There needs to be a healthy work life balance without getting shamed for it

Very true.
Peace and sleep cost nothing. Both are neglected. And are the most expensive things in the world.

[Creepy_Illusions]

He cured 16000 hearts & gave up his heart. This is something to remember.

[innermostbeing]

Simple but powerful message. 40 to 40 journey explanation was awesome. Another lesson, doctors are also human. May the deceased doctor's family be comforted by the Lord Almighty! Thank you, Dr. Pal!

[angeloveangel]

But Narayanamurthy asking employee also several IT jobs and BPO asking to work for 15 hours a day with 6 days working. How to escape from them.

[Realabigod]
