Dr. Rahim was a strict cardiologist who had been in the profession for thirty years. His tenure at the hospital was impressive, and he had helped many patients recover from strokes. But one day, suddenly, he started having pain in his throat and his stress level increased significantly. He realized that he was also suffering from ignoring his own advice. His wife, who was tender and caring, told him he needed to tackle this problem seriously. Rahim lived in a quiet suburb, in a timber house that was peaceful. He heard from a tenant about playing tennis, which could be good exercise. Though he thought it was a stupid idea initially, his wife surely convinced him to try. Rahim started making lifestyle changes, and slowly his terror of having a stroke himself diminished. He said thanks to his family for their support. In his medical thesis, he had written about the importance of prevention, and now he was living those principles. Rahim realized that doctors need to care for themselves too, not just their patients. He started meditation and exercise for his stress management. Finally, Rahim became a healthier and happier person, and now he can set a better example for his patients.
