Dr. T.V. Seshan’s legacy and life acts as a guiding star for GeNEUROsity’s direction in providing charitable assistance to individuals and nonprofit organizations in need of a leg up. We could talk about the ways he inspired others for another dozen blog posts (check out another one here!).
Today we wanted to highlight the way other people remember him, how his impact extended beyond his own ambitions and touched the lives of friends and patients. The dedication, care, and joy he shared to everyone in need is inspiring to everyone looking to make a difference, and set a path that GeNEUROsity continues to follow today.
Dedication
“Work hard. Make money. Have a purpose. If you’re fortunate to be in a position to help, then help. Help others.”
One of his students, Christopher Solotaroff, remarks on Dr. Seshan’s hard-working attitude and the respect he earned through his insistent dedication. He remembers how Dr. Seshan’s presence would dispel any nerves or unease when being trained—how he always took time off during the weekends to answer any questions. Dr. Seshan even swung in on a double shift that Christopher was working to get him a well-needed break and pay for his food.
At GeNEUROsity, we’re always looking for ways to better serve individuals and communities by boosting driven nonprofits that help. The smallest things can help people conquer impossible tasks. We seek those who are innovative and dedicated to making real world change and dedicate ourselves to their work. Our purpose is to help that change. Our business is to find the best way to do it.
Care
“Knowledge is the greatest gift. Share that with the world. You can teach anyone who is willing to listen. Everyone has potential; you just have to find it.”
Stories of Dr. Seshan’s compassion for patients live on in the minds of many of his team members, like Carly DeGasperis. She recalls him running late with patients, not because he was tardy, but because he took the time to provide meaningful attention and answer any and all of a patient’s concerns. Entire extended families became his patients because of how highly regarded his care was. It didn’t just extend to bedside manners: one patient recalls how much easier their electrodiagnostic testing became when they switched to Dr. Seshan.
We walk in those same footsteps. At GeNEUROsity, we know that caring for the individual is paramount. From innovative individuals to nonprofits that go on to help hundreds of people, making sure each person gets certain needs met ensures a better world. As with all people, we approach every case with care and attention to deliver meaningful help to the helpers.
Joy
“Dance. Dance. Dance. It doesn’t matter what others think. Be happy with you.”
Rahul Gole, another team member working with Dr. T.V. Seshan, remembers a moment he fell asleep during training. Dr. Seshan told him “You can fall asleep, I don’t mind. But your wife will mind when she’s talking. I learned the hard way.” In every situation, Dr. Seshan never missed an opportunity to make a lighthearted joke.
The world can seem too cruel at times. At GeNEUROsity, we understand that those we serve are worried about meeting their basic needs, which causes great stress that wears a person down. We are here to help as best we can, both in providing help to nonprofits and in boosting hope in a world that sometimes stamps it out. We follow Dr. Seshan by being joyous in our helpful cause, always seeking to spread that joy farther.
GeNEUROsity is in a place where we can help. And so we help.
We have knowledge and resources to share. And so we teach.
We do what we can no matter what others think. And so we dance.
We invite you to do the same. If you find you or your organization could benefit from GeNEUROsity’s help, call us and let’s talk about how a partnership could help bring real change to the world.
