About The Book 

In the relentless world of white coats and sleepless nights, Dr. Kavya Rao discovers that medicine is not only about saving lives, it’s about finding a balance between intellect and empathy, ambition and peace, science and soul.
From crowded wards to quiet heartbreaks, from the adrenaline of emergencies to the silence that follows loss, White Coat, Red Heart traces one woman’s journey from an uncertain student to a healer who learns that the greatest act of medicine is compassion itself.
It is a story of resilience and grace, of the people behind the stethoscopes and the patients who trust them. This is a tender portrait of courage, connection, and the red heart that keeps beating beneath every white coat.

About The Author

Dr. Ashwinikumar Aiyangar is a practicing Nephrologist with one of India’s top hospital chains. Passionate about his patients and teaching alike, he mirrors the journey of the protagonist in this story.
When not in the hospital or writing, he pursues what he loves most: endurance training, playing music, and spending time with his family.
He genuinely believes in the “”art of practice,”” demonstrating a profound commitment to holistic care, education, and the application of medical wisdom beyond mere protocols. He works at breaking down complex medical information making it easier to comprehend, and mentors with enthusiasm, consistently emphasizing empathy and human connection alongside clinical knowledge.
A regular writer of articles, stories, and poems, he always lacked the courage to exhibit his imagination. This work marks his first publication, appropriately starting with a subject close to his heart: Medicine. The protagonist, similarly, seems to have adapted to Medicine with the same intensity.
