He has confessed that sometimes due tight schedule in their profession doctors fail to empathise with patients and to understand their true suffering. Dr Rawat has expressed hope that the book will go a long way in cementing the relationship between doctors and patients.
Dr Renu Jain, Vice Chancellor of Devi Ahiliya University, Indore graced the occasion and said Dr Rawat is not only a good cardiologist, he is also a good human being and very sensitive at that. She was of the view that a sensitive doctor like Dr Rawat is like half treatment done without any medicine and procedure. Doctors like him is the need of the hour. Senior Cardiologist Dr Girish Kavthekar was all praise for Dr Rawat. He said Dr Rawat not only treats a patient but stands with the patient. He expressed hope that the book will connect herats of people. Senior Gandhian social activist Anil Trivedi said there are two kinds of hearts, one has form, another is formless.
