Ropana Podcast (रोपण), What's On A Medic's Mind

S4 Ep3: From Paralysis to Power: Battling Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Medical Negligence & Systemic Failures Dr. Bitumani Borah


Listen Later

I sit down with Dr. Bitumani Borah, a veterinary scientist whose life was forever changed at just 13 years old when she was struck by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)—a rare and ruthless neurological disorder that left her paralyzed, unheard, and fighting for survival.

One day, she was a bright, ambitious child. The next, she was trapped in a body that refused to move, misdiagnosed, dismissed, and forced to endure unimaginable pain in silence.

How does a child process losing control over her own body? How does she fight back when the very people meant to help her fail to listen?

🚨 What happens when your own immune system turns against you?
💉 Why do rare diseases like GBS go unnoticed until it’s too late?

This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s a story of resilience, medical neglect, and the unbreakable human spirit. Dr. Borah’s journey will shake you, inspire you, and make you rethink everything you know about illness and recovery.
