Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Govt. Medical College Dungarpur |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am trained in general medicine during my clinical internship at Government Medical College Dungarpur—did that for a year and honestly felt like every single day taught me something diff. I rotated mainly in medicine ward, and we were constantly dealing with diabetes patients who'd skip meds, hypertensives with weird BP spikes, plus tons of infections, dengue, pneumonia, sometimes even stuff like COPD flareups that got super tricky to manage.
Wasn’t just sitting in corners—I mean I actively managed patient files, wrote notes (some got corrected like 5 times lol), did rounds with seniors, followed up on labs and yeah, got involved in counseling part too which I first thought would be boring but actually isn’t. Making a patient understand why they need to take insulin or stop smoking—it sticks with you when they start listening.
Also helped out in diagnostic procedures, mostly assisted, like during lumbar puncture or catheter insertions, and sometimes just held patients’ hands when they were scared. There’s a rhythm to ward duties and once you catch it, you start fitting into the team without even realizing.
Case presentations were something I dreaded at first but tbh they helped me think more clearly and connect symptoms to actual conditions instead of just guessing. Now I don’t feel clueless when looking at CBC or chest xray cause I got that base now. I’m still learning—every single shift throws something weird your way—but I feel pretty grounded when it comes to understanding the full picture of a patient, not just the chart. |
Achievements: | I am certified in First Aid & Basic Life Support—learned CPR, defib stuff, choking rescue, all that hands-on kinda emergency stuff. Not just read it from some PDF, like I actually practiced it, drills and everything. Trained under protocols that follows international guidlines (I still mess up that spelling sometimes lol).
Anyway, it really made me think how even 1 min delay can change everything!! BLS isn't just a tickbox, it actually shape how I react under stress—whether in wards or roadside emergencies. |
I am working at Govt Medical College Dungarpur from feb 2024 till feb 2025—basically my rotatory internship, and yeah, it’s been intense in a good way. I moved across major departments—Internal Medicine, Surgery, OBGY, Pediatrics, EM and honestly each one hit different. In medicine I got to dig into diagnosis stuff and manage day-to-day patient care... loved the flow of ward rounds even though they kinda stretch forever on some days. Surgery—well I didn’t cut anything crazy but did assist in a bunch of minor procedures and dressings, sometimes scrubbing in and just trying to stay sharp. OB-GYN surprised me more than I thought—actually seeing a delivery happen from start to finish, or even helping hold instruments during one, that kinda leaves a mark. Emergencies were... chaos but also real learning, like decision-making had to be fast. I was checking vitals, doing CPR prep, giving meds, talking to relatives and following up on what next—all of that. There’s a lot of routine too—taking patient history, writing notes, following up investigations, updating seniors (sometimes getting grilled tbh). But those parts kinda teach you discipline. I also got into counseling patients more than I expected. Like telling a mother why her kid needs a nebuliser twice a day or explaining postop care to someone who looks just plain scared. That part still feels hard sometimes. Also we had CMEs and case discussions, not always super exciting, but a few of those did change how I looked at certain things. One on sepsis management still stuck in my head cause I saw that exact protocol play out later on in emergency ward. I wouldn’t call myself a specialist in anything yet—still learning, still fumbling at times—but I’m def more confident in ward management, diagnostic basics, handling common emergencies & being a part of a patient’s healing cycle in small but meaningful ways.
