He visited many hospitals and doctors, but it gave him no relief. Slowly his condition deteriorated and he could hardly drink anything, leave alone something eating solid. A bare 100ml fluid got thrown out of the digestive tract after 3 hours if he attempted drinking another 50 or 100ml.

His condition was very pathetic. Surgery was the only option left. The pancreatic surgery was a difficult one and had to be performed only by a highly skilled surgical team. Recommended by a well wisher, Mr.Radhakirshnan successfully underwent excision and coring out of the damaged tissues(Beger's operation) by Dr. J.S.Rajkumar and his team at Lifeline Hospital, Perungudi on 15th June 2009.

A tired Radhakrishnan , back in the ward is now cheerful and hopeful that he will eat and drink normally like others.

An affectionate and moved father declares that he does not understand why a teetotaler like his son should suffer from a condition that results from alcohol abuse???
