I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

I am a physician trained in modern medicine, and most of what I know really comes from being *in it*—working frontline in emergency departments across different multi-specialty hospitals in India. These weren’t quiet wards. High-acuity setups where things change fast, and you gotta think even faster. Not just about *how* to treat, but *when*, *what first*, and *what not to miss*. Those shifts shape you real quick. I kinda found my rhythm in the chaos—emergency medicine just pulls you in that way. One minute it’s blunt trauma, next minute stroke code, then sepsis or a kid in shock. Each case messes with your plan a bit, which’s why rapid decision-making ain’t just a skill... it’s survival mode, really. You don't get perfect conditions. But you learn to work with whatever you got—team, tech, protocol or none of that. Collaboration matters more than ppl think—ICU guys, neuro, ortho, even the non-clinical staff. Emergency care doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and you either build that team vibe or risk things falling thru the cracks. I also follow evidence-based protocols (as much as situation allows tbh). Guidelines help, but patients don’t read those—each one's different, and sometimes you gotta bend things a bit to fit real life. Honestly, I still learn every shift—some cases sit with you longer than they should. But it’s that unpredictability that keeps me at it. It's not clean, it's not perfect—but it's real, and I guess that’s what drives me.

I am the founder & lead physio at Stretch & Spine—started that in 2025 ‘cause I wanted a space where ppl could come in with real spine issues, post-surgery stiffness or those sports injuries that just don’t go away—and actually get better, like properly better, not just temporary relief stuff. I work mostly with musculoskeletal, neuro & post-op cases… design rehab plans from scratch, tweak them as we go, and yeah, I make sure the patient *gets* why posture & ergonomics matter before they walk out that door. I also consult at AAV Polyclinic—there it’s more team-based, working alongside ortho docs & neuro guys. Lot of post-op knee & spine work too... I handle exercise prescriptions, do the counselling part when needed—sometimes patients just need things explained in a way that doesn’t feel textbook. From 2023 I’ve been active with sports physio at Earn It Gym & Physio Hub. I kinda like that fast pace—dealing with sports injuries, on-field management, helping athletes bounce back without overdoing it. Return-to-play stuff’s tricky. You push too soon, it backfires. Wait too long, they lose rhythm. I try to balance that. Earlier I was at Bansal Clinic till 2023. Did a lot there—chronic pain, surgical rehab plans, all sorts of musculoskeletal and orthopedic cases, had to collaborate with docs constantly to align care plans. Also, loads of patient education... posture, injury prevention, lifestyle tweaks that honestly should be basic but often aren't. Somewhere in between those roles I learnt that half the work is just listening properly and not rushing to “fix” things before fully knowing the story. I don’t know if that counts as an achievement, but for me it changed how I work.

I am working as a Consultant Physiotherapist and honestly it’s kinda wild how every day brings a different case — sometimes it’s spine rehab, other times post-op ACLs or just plain stubborn neck pain that won’t go away for months. I mostly deal with musculoskeletal and neuro cases, but I also dive into sports injuries and post-surgical care a lot. My sessions aren't cookie-cutter... I design them around what each patient really needs — like, we actually *talk* about their pain, what movements trigger it, how their day looks, even sleep stuff. Because pain ain’t just physical always. I also collab with doctors and surgeons (mostly ortho and neuro) to make sure rehab plans line up with the bigger medical picture. It’s not just about exercises, it's about building that recovery path that actually works long-term. Sometimes that means tweaking basic posture, other times it’s reprogramming how someone walks post-knee surgery. I do a lot of manual therapy, dry needling, cupping etc. — whichever feels right for the issue. And yeah, I also spend time explaining things — posture correction, desk setups, stretching hacks — all the boring stuff no one teaches but lowkey prevents 50% of problems. Had patients who were shocked how much their pain dropped just by changing one habit lol. Anyway, the goal’s always simple: get people to move better, feel stronger, and not have to depend on meds forever for relief... even if we gotta try a few different things to get there.

I am currently working as a senior resident, and yeah it’s definitely one of those roles where you wear like ten hats at once. I mean, you're treating patients hands-on—real cases, real time—while also managing all the behind-the-scenes stuff, the follow-ups, the rounds, that constant back-n-forth with consultants and juniors. It’s not just about applying protocols, you're actually learning how and when *not* to follow them too, which is honestly just as important. I get to handle a mix of cases every day—acute, chronic, post-op, whatever walks in really—and that kinda unpredictable routine actually keeps me sharper than I'd expected. There’s a lot of ortho-related work I focus on these days, esp. trauma, fracture stabilization, post-surgical care… that kinda thing. But it’s not *just* about the procedures or the reports, right? Half the job is actually listening, noticing the small stuff, figuring out what a patient’s *not* saying but really needs help with. I'm also into bridging that weird space between textbook theory & actual patient response—like sometimes what we study just doesn't fit into what's happening on the ward floor and you just... adapt. I collaborate pretty closely with physios too (especially during rehab phases post surgery), which’s made me realise how interconnected healing is—it’s not a single person job at all. And tbh, there are days that're exhausting, like you doubt if you're making any difference at all. But then some patient walks again after weeks and you remember why this whole messy, difficult, fascinating job was worth picking. There’s a lot more I want to explore—sports injuries, maybe push deeper into joint recon work later on. For now though, being a senior resident feels like the place where I’m building something real. Not perfect, not smooth, but real.

I am working as a general physician from a little over 2 years now, and honestly, each day feel kinda diff—new faces, new symptoms, sometimes same problems but reacting in totally weird ways. My core work usually circles around diagnosing common illness, managing chronic lifestyle diseases like diabetes, high bp, thyroid issues etc. but in real life, it's never that straightforward. There's always someone with 3 overlapping thing going on and one random allergy no one saw coming. I'm used to treating things like viral fever, infections, gastric troubles, headaches, joint pain, and the usual flu stuff—but also keep a close watch on early signs that something deeper might be going wrong. Sometimes a normal cough ain't really that normal... you just sense it. That’s something you develop only by actually sitting across patients for months. I do a lot of OPD consultations, handle follow-ups, do routine check-ups and also get to help ppl with preventive care. It's not just fixing things but trying to avoid future ones if we can. I try to listen properly (though some days are just full-on packed, ngl), and I keep things simple—no jargon unless needed. One of the things I noticed is patients usually don't open up fully until they feel you actually care. Just a few mins extra, letting them talk a bit more, and then connecting the dots—makes the whole diff. I do take time reading about new trends and updated treatment guidelines too, cuz medicine keep changing, and honestly, you can’t stick to old stuff blindly. There are days when I doubt if I handled a case the best way possible—but then the patient comes back better and smiling and ya, those moments keep me going. Not here to impress, just trying to do my job right and get better at it slowly.

I am a graduate from Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan Karnataka, where I did my MBBS along with the compulsory internship that shaped most of my early clinical habits. Those months in internship weren’t just about ticking cases, they were more like a crash course in reality—OPD crowd piling up, late night ward rounds, learning to balance textbook theory with what a patient actually feels when they sit in front of you. That’s where I figured how medicine is never just about diagnosis codes, it’s about listening, observing small details, and making quick but careful choices. During MBBS I rotated through almost every major dept—medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, ortho—and each posting left a diff imprint. In medicine wards, I learned patience, coz chronic cases need long-term follow up and steady trust. In surgery, speed and precision. Pediatrics made me realise how hard it is to calm worried parents while also treating the child. And ICU postings, well, those gave me a sense of how fragile things can turn within minutes. Right now I’m based in Alwar district of Rajasthan, where healthcare needs are pretty diverse. Here, I see how access, awareness, and lifestyle factors play such a big role in how people present their health problems. Rural patients often come late, city patients come over-anxious, but both need the same thing—clear advice and reliable care. Practicing in this region also taught me to adapt—to manage with what’s available, not always what’s “ideal” in books. I approach patient care in a straightforward way: keep it simple, keep it practical, and avoid overloading with jargon. My goal is to bridge that gap between medical knowledge and what a person can actually follow in daily life. Some days it’s frustrating, some days it’s deeply rewarding, but in the end, every patient encounter leaves me with something to carry forward.

I am someone who’s worked under a neuro physician for almost 3 years—those were the kind of days where you learn to look *closely*. Neuro cases don't always scream for attention… sometimes it's a tiny reflex delay, or a strange eye movement, or a post-stroke weakness that doesn’t follow the textbook pattern. While working there, I also handled the physiotherapy department—coordinating sessions, monitoring progress, tweaking plans based on feedback. Honestly, neuro rehab isn't just about machines or muscle strength—it's about *patience* and tracking the tiniest signs of recovery. After that, I spent a full year working in a rehabilitation centre along with a child development center—which was a whole different experience. From pediatric milestones to developmental delays, sensory issues, speech concerns—I worked with kids who couldn’t always explain what they feel, which means you gotta observe more, listen to parents more carefully, and sometimes just go with gut instincts. That part really taught me to slow down, and *watch*, not just rush to act. In rehab work, I dealt with both physical and cognitive therapies—stroke recovery, spinal injury patients, CP kids, early intervention plans. Sometimes progress came fast, and sometimes not at all, but we stayed consistent. I learned how much psychology plays a role too—not just for the patient, but for family who’s trying to adjust to a “new normal.” Overall, my work’s been a blend of neurology, physiotherapy, pediatric development and a lot of on-ground practical care. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. I like tailoring treatment based on the pace *each* patient can handle—whether it’s an adult re-learning how to walk or a child trying to hold a spoon for the first time. That kind of work stays with you. And yeah, I carry all of that with me, every single case I see.

I am a specialist in the field of prosthodontics—yeah, the one where we deal with teeth that are missing, broken, worn out, or just don’t look or function like they should. I work on everything from full mouth rehab cases to single unit crowns, dentures, bridges, and smile designing. Not just “fixing teeth,” but actually *restoring function*, comfort and confidence too. Some patients walk in not able to chew properly for years. Others just want to smile without feeling awkward. Both matter equally to me. I like working on complex cases—like full arch prosthesis, implant-supported restorations, or trauma-induced dental loss—where you need a mix of precision, patience and good communication. No two jaws are same. No two patients heal or respond the same. Some ppl want fast results. Others need time to get comfortable with change. I try to pace it accordingly. In the OPD, I also see a fair bit of TMD issues, bite corrections, and a lot of post-extraction prosthetic planning. Whether it's conventional RPDs or advanced implant planning—I’m involved in the entire workflow right from case discussion to final placement. I don't outsource everything. I like being involved in the lab stage too... checking margins, shade matching, occlusion—all those small things that affect the big result. And yeah, sometimes people think prosthodontics is only about aesthetics. Not true. Function is just as critical. A good set of teeth should help you eat, speak, and carry yourself better—long before it looks “perfect” in photos. That’s what I focus on. I keep updating my skills and honestly still get excited about new materials or attachment systems. Because at the end, even one well-fitted crown can change someone’s daily life. That’s kinda huge, even if it’s “just one tooth.”

I am a doctor specialised in Emergency Medicine with over 10 years of hands-on exp handling acute, critical and just full-blown unpredictable medical cases. The kind where you don’t get a second chance to “check later”—like seizures, cardiac arrests, road traffic trauma, poisonings, sudden collapses... I’ve been in those high-pressure moments way too many times. And I guess that’s what shaped my approach: act fast, stay calm, don’t overcomplicate, but also *don’t miss* the silent stuff hiding behind noisy symptoms. I manage ER teams, coordinate with ICU, surgical, cardiac & neuro units, and basically act as the front line for anyone walking in when no one else is available yet. But emergency care isn’t just adrenaline and rush—it’s also about knowing *when not to panic*, how to talk to family when they’re breaking down outside, or how to manage a patient whose vitals are stable but symptoms aren’t adding up. Apart from my emergency practice, I also provide general medicine consults—both offline and online. These are more chill, but equally important. Fever, infections, hypertension, diabetes, acidity, fatigue, sleep issues, gut health—stuff ppl deal with every day, and honestly ignore until it gets worse. I try to address that. I like explaining the “why” behind symptoms. I don’t just throw meds unless they’re needed. My goal? To make sure patients feel safe and not judged, whether it’s a 3am chest pain call or just a video call about hairfall. I believe even small symptoms deserve clarity. And every treatment—urgent or routine—should be rooted in evidence, but delivered with actual human decency. Not every case ends the way we hope, but I show up fully, every single time. That’s the only way I know to do this job.
