The doctor told such a thing about the patient who got sick from alcohol addiction, heart will be upset

A doctor's heart-warming post is going viral on the internet.

Dr. AB Phillips aka The LiverDoc (@theliverdr) has shared a lovely post on Twitter about his treatment of a patient with alcohol use disorder.

In a long post, the doctor talks about the effects alcoholism has on a family and the doctor's life.

Dr. Phillips wrote, "The fourth laddu. These 3 laddus were given to me by my patient's wife a few weeks ago on her birthday. She was now happy and all was well in the family." 

The doctor posted a picture of three laddus and shared that he had received these laddus from a patient's wife on her birthday.

A patient named Paul was suffering from alcohol use disorder and had been drinking alcohol for more than 15 years.

A few months ago, Paul was diagnosed with alcohol-related hepatitis, and was advised a liver transplant.

Unfortunately, Paul's family was not able to afford his hospitalization and surgery.

Paul owned a bakery shop, had two daughters, aged 5 and 9, and his wife worked part-time jobs at various places, but quit after the girls were born.

Doctors regularly prescribed medicines, suggested ways to reduce symptoms and comforted the family over the phone as Paul was being treated at home.

However, Paul died at home on the 18th day.

The 4th Laddu.

I never Neither was angry with Paul for his behaviour. They were free now. The girls went to school and the wife was now running the shop well."
