This book is about the victory of science, yet, failure of our system in delivering its benefits to the needy, which is responsible for more than 55000 deaths year after year. Why should someone die of rabies, when we have all the means to protect each life? Developed nations might have got rid of Rabies to large extent but developing countries still suffer.
What makes it so important is that Rabies is a sure death sentence but at the same time, we must remember that it is a 100% preventable condition.
This is to answer all the questions that come to mind when someone is exposed to rabies and finds no one to provide satisfactory answers, leading to panic and even psychiatric problems. Not even all the health personnel are well versed with the latest recommendations as each patient has his unique situation. People rush to digital media and get further confused. Half-baked and often misleading information may delay and complicate the simple management when urgency is crucial. Each rabies death is the failure of our knowledge and our health care system.
The author, who answers questions internationally on this issue on a knowledge-sharing platform- 'Quora' for many years, has made the whole subject very simple to understand, interesting to read, point to point, and with no academic jugglery.
He has very well explained in this book, why should no one die of Rabies in modern time, when we have all the means to save every life.
