    Inside the Life of a Liver Transplant Surgeon Healing Lives Beyond the Surgeries

    In this deeply moving episode of Unbound, we sit down with Dr. Ankur Garg, a leading liver transplant surgeon whose journey is defined not just by medical excellence but by responsibility, conscience, and humanity.Dr. Garg opens up about what truly keeps him going in one of the most demanding professions in the world. Beyond the stress, emergencies, and life-or-death decisions, it is the smiles of recovered patients that become his daily motivation. From handwritten notes and heartfelt gestures to patients returning months later walking, driving, and living full lives, these moments make every sacrifice worthwhile. Stories of patients who once arrived on ventilators via air ambulances and later pick him up from airports themselves stand as powerful reminders of transformation and hope.The conversation then takes us into some of the most transformative cases Dr. Garg has witnessed—patients once weak, jaundiced, and confined to wheelchairs, now healthy and independent after liver transplants. These experiences reflect not only the power of medical science but also the emotional fulfilment that comes with healing lives.Dr. Garg also shares his personal journey into medicine. Interestingly, becoming a doctor was not originally his own plan, but a path chosen by his father. From initially enrolling in engineering to being redirected into medical college through NEET, his journey evolved naturally. During his surgical training, one organ fascinated him the most, the liver, an organ few dared to operate on at the time. That curiosity eventually led him into the complex and challenging field of liver transplantation.The episode also touches upon the delicate balance between professional responsibility and personal life. Dr. Garg speaks candidly about missing family events, vacations, and personal moments, and how he justifies these sacrifices to himself. For him, being a doctor is no longer about earning a livelihood it is about carrying the responsibility of saving lives. Whether a call comes at midnight or a concern seems small medically but huge for the patient, he believes his duty is to be present.In a rapid-fire reflection round, Dr. Garg shares simple yet profound life philosophies—living life one day at a time, answering to one’s conscience, and ensuring that no responsibility is abandoned. For the past 20 years, he ends every day by asking himself just one question: Did I do my best today?This episode is a powerful reminder that behind every surgeon is a human being constantly navigating choices, ethics, and compassion. Unbound with Mamta brings you this unfiltered, honest conversation one that inspires, grounds, and reminds us of the true meaning of responsibility and service.✨ Let’s keep unbounding together.Connect With Mamtaa: LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/mamtaadhingra/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/mamtaapodcaster/Twitter- https://twitter.com/DhingraMamtaaFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/mamtaa.dhingra13

    The Emotional Cost of Saving Lives No One Talks About

    In this powerful episode of Unbound with Mamta, we sit down with Dr. Ankur Garg, one of India’s leading Liver Transplant Surgeons, to explore the human side of a profession often seen only through results and recovery charts.This conversation goes far beyond medicine.Dr. Garg opens up about what truly keeps him going on days filled with pressure, emergencies, emotional fatigue, and life-altering decisions. His biggest motivation doesn’t come from titles or recognition it comes from patients who return healthy, smiling, asking for a photograph, writing a handwritten note, or honoring him in their own cultural ways. These moments, he says, are what make the struggle worth it.He shares deeply moving stories of transformation patients who once arrived on ventilators or wheelchairs, weak and barely able to stand, returning months later walking, driving themselves to the hospital, and living full lives. For Dr. Garg, liver transplant is not just a life-saving procedure; it is a life-transforming journey.The episode also traces his personal path into medicine how becoming a doctor wasn’t a childhood certainty, how a pivotal decision at 18 shaped his future, and how fascination with the liver led him into one of the most complex surgical specialties. He reflects on how liver transplant in India has evolved over the last two decades—from limited centers and specialists to a growing ecosystem of advanced care and training.What makes this conversation truly special is Dr. Garg’s honesty about the emotional weight doctors carry. He speaks about forming bonds with patients and families, the pain of losses, and the difficult responsibility of breaking hard news. He explains why emotional detachment is not a lack of empathy, but a professional necessity—without it, doctors simply wouldn’t be able to continue.We also touch upon the rarely discussed impact of this profession on personal life missed family moments, disrupted routines, and the constant balance between responsibility and presence at home. Dr. Garg shares how he justifies these choices to himself, guided by one core belief: when a patient is under his care, that responsibility comes first.The episode closes with reflections on empathy, conviction, and living with a clear conscience. Dr. Garg shares the one question he asks himself every night before sleeping Did I do justice today? a practice that has guided him for over two decades.At Unbound with Mamta, we bring you stories beyond professional stories of purpose, resilience, and humanity.
