WELL PLAYED: From Here to Eternity! by Dr Rajeev Bagarhatta | Book review

Book review :

"Well Played "is an inspiring story about a remarkable individual who rose from humble origins to medical eminence through sheer grit and perseverance.  The book is set fortuitously in the backdrop of Tokyo Paralympics 2021, which reignited discussions on the role of medicine and rehabilitation in sports. 

This  book  is  a compelling read about Jagdish Prasad Bagarhatta, a sports instructor in a medical college, who seeks to apply his inherent curiosities and the basics of sports physiology to the principles of cardiac rehabilitation when  it  was  still  nascent  in  India  in  the  1970s.  His lasting contributions to medicine serve as a monument to his unrelenting commitment and unyielding pursuit of greatness.

 Bagarhatta’s endeavours take the reader through the toils and torments of a common man, a sports person, knocking to enter the medical world, and then succeeding in making cardiac rehabilitation acceptable.  The  pages  are  replete  with  complex  situations challenging  Jagdish’s  personal  and  professional  life and deliver message of optimism and tenacity.

Overall, "Well Played" is a compelling , fascinating memoir that guides the way chosen by a common man to succeed in life.  It serves as a reminder that ordinary individuals can accomplish remarkable feats when they believe in themselves and seize the right opportunities.
