Remembering a ‘doctors’ doctor’: Prof JS Guleria leaves behind art of healing

New Delhi: Prof Jagdev Singh Guleria, one of India’s most respected physicians and a towering figure in bedside medicine, passed away on Jan 22, marking the end of an era defined by clinical brilliance, ethical clarity and deep compassion. A former dean and professor at the Al India Institute of Medical Sciences, he belonged to a generation of doctors for whom medicine began not with tests, but with listening. Awarded the Padma Shri in 2003, Prof Guleria was widely regarded as a “doctor's doctor’ the one colleagues turned to when cases were complex and decisions carried weight. His influence extended far beyond AlIMS, shaping medical practice and training across the country.
