In this episode we dive into the life of Dr Subhash Mukherjee, an obstetrician and gynaecologist from erstwhile Calcutta, who should have been one of India’s most famous and decorated doctors but whose life too a very tragic turn. Dr Mukherjee pioneered techniques in what was then, the fledgling science of In Vitro Fertilisation but his work was ridiculed and denigrated by the establishment, so much so, that it influenced his unfortunate decision to end his life.
Why didn’t Mukherjee get the credit he deserved? How did the world eventually learn of his genius. Listen to the Rearview to find out.
