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.

I am working at Apollo Institute of Medical Sceinces and Research, Chittoor and also as a visiting consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Aragonda. My main area of focus is treating people who struggle with low back pain, neck pain and radiculopathies that spread pain or weakness down the arms or legs. Many of my patients come to me after living with discomfort for long time, sometimes even ignoring symptoms until daily routine gets disrupted. I try to understand the root causes carefully, sometimes its a simple disc issue, other times more complex. I also manage cases of headache and seizures, both of which can be unpredictable and distressing. The pattern of these conditions can change from one person to another, and I often find that listening closely gives me more insight than any scan or report. Neurological problems like brain tumours, hydrocephalus, or head trauma are more severe, and require step by step evaluation. Each case is different, and I dont belive in rushing decisions when it comes to such sensitive issues. Patients and their families often feel lost during these times, and part of my role is to guide them with clarity even if the path is not always straight. Working in both Chittoor and Aragonda has given me exposure to a wide range of neurological and neurosurgical conditions. Some days I deal with spine related pain, other days with sudden emergencies like head injury. Honestly, it can be overwhelming, but at the same time deeply rewarding when patients recover and return to their normal life. I tend to keep my consultations practical, using evidence-based medicine but also adapting it to what works for each individual. My approach has always been patient-centered, making sure questions are answered even if they appear small. Many people with chronic pain or seizures worry about how it will affect work, family, or even sleep. I try to keep treatment plans realistic and focused on improving quality of life, whether that means medications, lifestyle changes, or careful monitoring over time. In short, my work is centered on treating neurological disorders with attention, patience, and a commitment to help people regain control over their health. Some days outcomes are clear, other times unpredictable, but I remain focused on delivering honest and consistent care to every patient who comes to me.

I am a doctor who started my medical journey with internship at Lucknow TSM Medical College, where I got my first real exposure to handling patients on daily basis. The shift from classroom to ward was not easy, sometimes overwhelming, but it taught me how theory and practice dont always match. I learned to handle emergencies, do routine checkups and support seniors while slowly building confidence in my own decisions. After that I worked as a junior resident at KGMU Medical College, Lucknow. KGMU is a busy place, cases come nonstop, from minor issues to very complex ones. Working there shaped my approach toward patient care, because in such a crowded setup you cant afford to lose time, yet you also need to maintain sensitivity to what patients and families are going through. I was directly involved in clinical assessments, coordinating with consultants, and managing patients across different departments. Long shifts, late nights, but it gave me the discipline I needed. Later I continued my residency at RMRI Bareilly. Residency is always demanding, and in Bareilly I was pushed to take more responsibility, from diagnosis to treatment plans. I spent long hours studying reports, following up on patient progress, and sometimes doubting whether I am doing enough, but those doubts only pushed me to become more careful. Being a resident also taught me the importance of teamwork — nurses, colleagues, seniors — no one can handle everything alone, and small missteps can matter a lot. Step by step these experiences shaped my way of working. I try to keep a balance between clinical accuracy and human connection, because patients remember not just what treatment they got but also how they were treated as a person. I still continue to learn every single day, and maybe that will never stop, but I feel that is what makes this profession alive and meaningful.

I am working as a consultant doctor in cosmetology, trichiology and aesthetic medicine, and most of my day goes into helping people with skin and hair issues that trouble them in routine life. For more than 3 years now I had the chance to see and treat over 50000 patients, and that kind of exposure shapes the way I approach every new case. Sometimes it’s acne that refuses to settle, sometimes hair loss that makes people anxious about their looks, other times pigmentation, scars or early aging signs that disturb confidence. Each case is different, even when the diagnosis look similar on paper. In cosmetology I deal with both medical and cosmetic aspects, from treating chronic skin conditions to working on appearance related concerns. I like to combine evidence based methods with practical care, because people don’t just want temporary results, they want something safe and sustainable. Trichiology keeps me engaged with all forms of hair problems, from dandruff to alopecia. I know hair fall may sound minor to some, but for the person going through it, it can affect self-image deeply. I keep this in mind when planning treatment, making sure expectations are realistic but also giving space for hope. Aesthetic medicine adds another layer, where the focus is not only to fix disease but also to improve overall appearance and wellbeing. In this field precision matters, because even a small change can impact how a person feels about themselves. I spend time discussing with patients before any procedure, clearing doubts, sometimes repeating answers again, because trust is very important. Looking back at my work so far, the most valuable part has been the interaction with thousands of individuals who come with different backgrounds, concerns and goals. I try to keep my practice approachable and patient centered, no matter if it’s a simple rash or a long standing condition. The idea is not only to treat but also to support people in regaining their confidence. And I still keep learning every day, because skin and hair medicine is always evolving and no two patients are exactly same.
