I am an ENT specialist with work that span across both private practice and residency in teaching hospital. In Morbi, Gujarat, I managed my own ENT clinic for 1 year where I handled everything from outpatient consults to emergency cases. That phase teached me how to take decisions independently, balance medical & surgical treatment, and get comfort with endoscopic procedure day to day. Running a clinic also gave me chance to build close relations with patients, sometimes even beyond the diagnosis and prescription part, more about listening and understanding what they go through. I also worked as Senior Resident in Department of ENT at GMERS Medical College, Junagadh for 1 year. That role was quite different – high volume OPDs, regular emergency calls and a lot of exposure to advanced surgical cases. I was actively involved in otology and rhinology surgeries, also assisted and performed cases in head & neck including thyroid and parotid. Teaching undergraduate students was also part of my daily work, and honestly I learnt as much from explaining basics to them as they might have from me. Research and academic activities were integral too, and I became more aware of how ENT practice is evolving in evidence based way. During my residency I paid special attention to allergy and vertigo patients, areas that often dont get highlighted but are very distressing for patients. Managing those conditions helped me refine diagnostic approach and patience with long term care. Overall, both my practice and residency gave me balanced expereince – the independence of private setup and the rigour of institutional medicine. I feel this mix makes me better prepared to serve patients across wide range of ENT disorders, be it routine ear complaints or complex head & neck surgeries.

I am a licensed medical doctor with MBBS degree, and till now I hold around 1.5 yrs of clinical expereince that really taught me more than just medicine.. working with people from very diff backgrounds gave me perspective on how illness affect not only the body but also the mind and family life. Most of my work has centered on accurate diagnosis, managing common complaints with clear explanations, and using evidence based treatment whenever possible, because clarity matter a lot when patients are anxious. I focus a lot on building trust in my consultations, sometimes a simple reassurance can be as healing as prescription. In hospital settings I handled outpatient visits, ward duties, and emergency support, which meant moving from routine fevers to more complex cases in a single day, learning to shift gears quickly. I make it a point to explain medical advice in language that is approachable, avoiding heavy jargons unless it is needed, because I want patients to leave knowing what’s going on with thier health. My experience may be shorter compared to seniors but I see it as an advantage too, as I bring energy, curiosity, and willingness to adapt. Every case feels like a new lesson, from managing hypertension or anemia to supporting post-op recovery, and I try to keep myself updated with standard guidelines. I also belive compassionate care is not optional—it is essential. Listening to patients fully, even when they struggle to find the right words, often reveals clues for diagnosis that no test can capture. I continue to grow my clinical skills day by day, aiming to balance detail oriented diagnosis with practical solutions. Medicine is never about rushing to finish, its about patience, empathy and right timing. That’s what I carry with me into each interaction, hoping to make a difference in small but steady ways.

I am a MBBS doctor with around 2 yrs of hands on work in hospitals and clinic setups, and my role so far has been mix of managing general medicine cases, acute emergencies and follow ups that need patient trust more than just prescription. During this period I treated patients from different age group and backgronds, from common fever to complex systemic disorder, and I realised how important clarity in diagnosis is before rushing to treatment. I try to make medical advice simple, not overloaded with heavy jargons, so patients and families can actually understand what is happening with their health. Most of my work exp came from direct OPD consults, ward duties and assisting in emergency care where things move fast and decisions have to be quick, sometimes without much time to rethink. Those moments gave me confidence but also a lot of respect for teamwork, nurses, paramedics, everyone plays a part. I also worked on preventive health measures, guiding patients on lifestyle, diet and long term disease managment, and small interventions like these made me see how prevention really reduce hospital load. I keep myself updated through clinical discussions and by observing senior doctors, always picking up nuances that books dont show. Two years may not sound very long but in medicine every day brings new learning, some stressful, some rewarding. I am trying to balance technical skill with human side of care—listening, being patient, explaining things clearly. That is something I want to carry forward in all my future practice.

I am a dental surgeon working fr the past 7 year and each of those years taught me diffrnt lessons abt patients, skills and how small changes in smile can shift confidence of a person. My base training gave me strong clinical foundation, but later I went on to complete diploma in orthodontics and cosmetology which opened more scope for treating malaligned teeth, jaw corrections and also cosmetic procedures that improve both function & look. Some days my work is all about routine dental issues like caries, extraction, root canal etc, other times I spend long hours planning orthodontic cases with braces or aligners, making sure treatment is both safe and practical. I try to keep my approach simple, explain clearly to patients what is happening in their mouth and what options they have. Many come scared of dental chairs, and my aim is always to make that fear less, with patience and proper explanation. Cosmetology side of my work is also growing, where I focus on smile designing, crowns, veneers and aesthetic dental solutions. This blend of orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry allow me to treat not only the disease but also help patients feel more happy with their appearance. During these years I have worked with wide range of patients—from kids needing early orthodontic care to adults wanting cosmetic improvement—and that diversity keeps me learning. Managing orthodontic corrections require long term planning, while cosmetic work need precision and eye for detail. I try to balance both. For me the biggest satisfaction is when a patient leave my clinic with better health and visible relief on face. Dentistry is technical but also very human, and I remind myself of that each day while working.

I am a general physician with more than 10 yr of clinical experiance, and in this time I worked with patients from all age groups, from young kids to elderly with multiple chronic issues. My practice has been wide, but I gradually developed deeper intrest in diabetology. I spend much of my day focusing on prevention, early diagnosis and management of diabetes, using lifestyle modification, medical therapy and regular monitoring. Many patients come worried about complications, and I try to explain things in simple language, whether it is diet, excercise, or understanding lab reports, so they dont feel lost. I also conduct detailed diagnostic evaluation and use evidence based protocols to make sure treatment is reliable and updated, even if sometimes I double check myself when results dont match the clinical picture. Apart from regular OPD practice, I gained strong experiance in occupational health. Over years I worked with multiple companies handling pre employment checks, annual medical exams, workplace wellness programs, and ensuring compliance with industrial health and safety standards. It is diffrent from hospital practice, but equally important, because healthy workers mean safe and productive workplace. I run medical surveillance programs and health awareness sessions in collaboration with corporates, and this also gave me exposure to preventive strategies on a large scale. For me, patient care is not just treatment but building trust. My career revolve around preventive medicine, ethical clinical practice, and continuous learning. I keep myself updated with modern medical protocols, but I also value listening to patient worries, since medicine is not only about lab values but also about how a person feels in daily life. I make mistakes in words sometimes, but in my work I try to be very precise. At end of day, my aim is to provide care that is accessible, evidence based and truly centered on patient well being.

I am a medical doctor who started my residency at Bangalore Medical College, and that period really gave me the solid foundation in clincial practice and decision making that I rely on till today. I worked across many departments and got to handle varied cases, from routine diagnosis to emergency care, and those yrs shaped my approach to patient care. Later I joined as a Senior Resident at Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, where I was more deeply involved with managing in-patients, supervising OPDs, and working along with both faculty and students. That role made me understand the value of team work in medicine, because half the time you are guiding juniors while still learning from seniors, and balancing both teaching and patient load can be intense but also satisfying. Right now I am working at Victoria Hospital, Bangalore, where the exposure is wide and often challanging. I deal with high patient flow, complex cases that demand quick judgment, and conditions that cover everything from acute emergencies to chronic disease management. The environment here keep me grounded, because every day you realise how much trust patients put in you and how important clear communication is for their recovery. Over time I developed a stronger focus on evidence-based medicine, preventive health, and a patient-centered approach, always trying to listen first before deciding treatment. My experience in these institutions has taught me to value both technical skills and human connect. Whether it is assisting in procedures, interpreting test results, or simply calming an anxious family, I try to approach it with patience and empathy. I dont say everything is perfect, sometimes work pressure is heavy, sometimes outcomes not what we hope, but I keep reminding myself why I entered this profession. The journey from residency to senior residency and now Victoria hospital has been steady, and I am still learning everyday.

I am working as an Assistant professor at Srinivasan Medical College in Trichy since 2021 and over these years I got to see both the clinical and academic sides of medicine in a way that keeps me learning every single day. Teaching is not only about standing infront of a class, for me it is more about shaping how young doctors think about diagnosis, patient care, surgery skills, and even the ethics part that sometimes get lost when ur rushing through rounds. I handle a mix of lecturing, supervising in clinics, and being part of ward duties, which means I balance between being a teacher and a practicing clinician. At times it feels hectic but then again, that’s also the place where u grow. My role gives me a chance to work closely with students, interns and residents, guiding them not only in theory but also while managing real patients with complex medical needs. The exposure at the college and hospital has kept me updated with new protocols, evolving medical technology, and better treatment approaches that directly improve patient outcomes. I deal with a variety of cases, routine and emergency, and that makes me more confident in taking tough calls when needed. Academic research, case discussions, CME programs, all of these are regular part of my work and help me push beyond just routine teaching. Patient care still stays the center for me. I try to keep communication clear, making sure patients and families understand what’s happening, which is sometimes harder than doing a procedure. Over the years I feel that bridging that gap of understanding is as important as writing the right prescription. Working in Trichy also let me serve people from varied backgrounds, urban and rural, which teaches you humility and practical solutions when resources are not unlimited. I don’t think of myself as just an academic doctor or just a clinician, it’s a blend. Some days I feel like I am doing more paperwork than medicine, some days I feel proud seeing a student handle a case confidently. This balance is what keeps me steady and keeps reminding me why I joined this field.

I am working as a medical doctor with around 5 yrs of clincal experience, my journey started after finishing internship in 2020. I joined Sunrise Hospital as a casualty medical officer where I had to deal with emergency cases daily, from trauma to sudden cardiac events, that gave me confidence and also lot of pressure at same time. After that I moved into public health side, got a contract position with 104 services, where for 1.5 yr I handled a big range of patient calls, on field visits too, and learned how much preventive medicine and early diagnosis really matter in rural setup. Later I joined an urban primary health centre under NHM, again on contract, where I was involved with both outpatient care and community health programs. During this time I had to balance curative care with preventive healthcare, which is never easy, some days were long and repetitive but others showed how small guidance can change a patient’s health. I worked across different systems, private and govt, which shaped me into being more adaptable, sometimes short of resources but still had to deliver care. I also realized that communication with patients, making them trust your diagnosis, is as important as any medicine. Now with 5 years behind me I feel more mature as a clinician, able to diagnose common and complex cases, manage emergencies, and also align with larger health programs like NHM. My aim is to keep learning, maybe add more training into specialized areas, but never lose focus on patient centered care.

I am working in general medicine opd from 3 years now and that gave me wide exposure to all kind of patients walking in with different complain, sometimes mild, sometimes really serious. Most common I handle are seasonal allergies, gestational issues during pregnancy, diabetes and hypertension, but I also see cases of infections like dengue or malaria that need quick attention. In OPD you never know what the next case will be, one moment its a child with fever and next a adult with uncontrolled blood sugar, and I learnt to switch fast and think clear. I focus on proper diagnosis first, using detailed history and examination rather than rushing, cause many conditions overlap and can confuse. For example a viral fever might look like dengue in early days, or hypertension can stay hidden till it shows as headache or dizziness. I try to explain to patients in simple words what is happening with their health, as many come with fear and half information. Making them comfortable and giving them trust matters more than only prescribing medicines. Over these years I also developed a flexible approach in management, not every patient need same treatment plan. Like gestational diabetes require a very diff care compared to a young person with type 1 diabetes. Lifestyle counselling became important part of my practice, talking about diet, exercise, sleep routine and follow-up. Even with allergies or seasonal flu, guiding them on prevention and hygiene reduce re-occurence a lot. In opd practice volume is high and decision making has to be quick but safe. Sometimes you only have a few minutes, still I try to balance efficiency with personal care. Seeing patients recover and come back with gratitude motivate me everyday. Working across such diverse case made me more confident, but also humble because medicine is never fully predictable. There are times I doubt, recheck, ask for labs before final call, and I think that caution is also strength.

I am Dr. Anwesha Biswas, MDS in Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology, and most of my work is centered on oral diagnosis and patient awareness. Over the years I understood that many patients come late with oral cancer or precancer lesions, simply because they never knew the signs. That’s why I put a lot of focus on education, early screening and counseling about habits like tobacco or betel nut chewing, things that silently damage health. For me, prevention is not just a word but daily practice in my clinic. I handle wide range of oral mucosal lesions, TMJ disorders and orofacial pain, and I like to plan treatment based on both evidence and the indivisual needs of each patient. Some days it’s just about explaining simple home remedies for mouth ulcers, other times I guide patients through long term management of chronic oral condtions. Radiology is another strong part of my work. From routine x-rays to advanced CBCT scans, I interpret images to identify diseases that may not be visible otherwise, helping dentists and surgeons with accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. I also take care of urgent oral issues, prescribing emergency medications when needed and advising safe remedies for acute problems until definitive care is possible. One area I am particularly careful with is recognizing oral signs of systemic disease. A small ulcer, pigmentation or swelling may point to a much bigger health problem, and I see my role as connecting oral health with overall body health. I keep my practice rooted in ethics and patient centered care. Research, teaching and working with other doctors keep me engaged and updated with newer approaches. I don’t believe in a one-size solution—each patient has different story, different challenges. What matters most to me is that they leave with clarity about their condition and trust in the plan we choose together. It’s this mix of clinical work, awareness, and continuous learning that keeps me steady and also curious in my field.
