Our Verified Medical Experts — page 22

I am working since 2 yrs with a mobile medical unit, and honestly that experience shaped me more than anything in textbooks. We travelled across rural belts, slums, places where access to even basic health care was missing, and provided free consultation and treatment for the poor and depressed class. In those settings you dont just treat fevers or wounds, you learn how to listen, how to explain in simple words, how to build trust when people are scared of hospitals. I handled wide range of general medical cases—seasonal infections, malnutrition, hypertension, diabetes screening, antenatal checkups, even small emergencies where quick action mattered. Many days were long and rough, but the direct contact with patients taught me patience and empathy in ways no training module can explain. I focused a lot on preventive medicine too, doing health awareness camps on hygiene, vaccination, nutrition. Sometimes the job was not only giving medicines but also counseling families, guiding them on lifestyle changes, and making sure they felt cared for not just treated. I also got used to working with limited resources, which means learning improvisation, prioritizing patients, and being responsible for crucial decision-making in the field. That 2 year journey gave me strong clinical confidence, improved my diagnostic skills in challenging conditions, and helped me understand community health at ground level. I continue to carry those lessons in my practice today—keeping patient dignity first, respecting their struggles, and ensuring ethical and evidence based care no matter the circumstance.

I am a Dental Surgeon with 7 years of clinical expereince, and over this time I hv been able to build a practice that focus not just on treating dental issues but also on making the patient feel safe and informed. My core specialization is in Pediatric Dentistry, a field I choose becaus working with children requires not only clinical skill but also patience, empathy and ability to communicate at their level. I spend a lot of time explaining to parents abt preventive oral care, diet and small daily habits that can protect teeth and gums in long run. I treat a wide range of cases, from routine dental checkups to more complex pediatric procedures, and I make sure each plan is tailored according to the child’s needs. Many of my young patients come with dental anxiety, and I use simple but effective behaviour management techniques to help them relax. Beyond children, I also handle general dentistry cases whenever required, but my main focus stays with pediatric oral health. My approach is always evidence-based and patient centered, using modern diagnostic tools and treatment methods while balancing them with comfort and affordability. I give importance to preventive dentistry because catching small issues early means saving children from pain and parents from costly treatments. Oral health education is something I feel strongly abt, and I keep engaging with families to raise awareness around cavities, gum disease and importance of regular checkups. Over the years, I hv seen how good communication changes the way a child accept treatment. Building trust with both patient and parent is something I consider one of my strongest skills. Every case adds to my learning, and I continue to refine my practice by staying updated with new techniques in pediatric dentistry. My commitment is not just to solve immediate problems but to create long term habits that support healthy smiles for life.

I am a dentist with 4 year experience working in clinical dentistry and most of my journey so far has been in diff kind of setups like dental chains, trust hospitals and also private practice. That mix really taught me how diff the patient expectations can be, and how important it is to adapt treatment style without loosing focus on quality. My daily work usually covers general dentistry procedures like restorations, root canal treatments, extractions, scaling, dentures and capping, but I also handle braces & aligners, implants and gum related cases. Some days are routine cleanings, other days are long sittings with anxious patients who need both medical care and reassurance, and honestly I feel the second part is just as important. Working across multiple hospitals gave me exposure to a broad range of dental conditions – from common cavities to complex tooth replacement cases – and also gave me the confidence to manage emergency scenarios with clarity. I realised early that building trust through communication is key. Patients often come with fear or hesitation, and by explaining procedures in simple words I try to make them more relaxed before we start. I pay attention not just to the technical precision of treatment but also to comfort, because no one forgets how they were made to feel in the chair. Over these years I gained a deeper understanding of preventive dentistry too. Educating patients about oral hygiene, gum health and the connection between dental care and overall health has been something I keep stressing in daily practice. I also learnt to balance speed with accuracy, knowing when to move quickly and when to pause and re-check. Every case, even a simple filling, matters equally because it shapes trust. Right now I look forward to keep refining my skills in restorative and aesthetic dentistry, while also taking on more challenging cases that involve surgical intervention or complex orthodontics. My goal is straightforward – give safe, evidence based treatment that patients can rely on, and keep growing in this field without losing that basic empathy which made me choose dentistry in first place.

I am a physician with a journey that stretched over many years across different departments and roles, each adding something new to my skill set. My career started in July 2011 with a year-long rotatory internship at Medical College Hospital. That’s where I first learnt the essential clinical procedures like IV cannulation, Ryle’s tube insertion, Foley’s catheterization, normal vaginal deliveries with episiotomy and repair, surgical sutures, blood transfusion, even applying temporary slab for fractures. It was hectic but gave me that base confidence in managing real patients. In 2012 I moved into a housestaffship in Paediatric surgery, spending one year working closely with children. That taught me the finer patience needed in cannulation and phlebotomy in pediatric patients, plus constant monitoring of post-operative cases. From 2014 to 2017 I entered a full three-year residency in Medicine, and here my training deepened—learning systematic history taking, working towards a solid provisional diagnosis, interpreting CT scans (brain, chest, abdomen), and managing emergencies both in medical and general wards. I performed advanced procedures like central line cannulation, intubation, percutaneous biopsy, intraarticular injections, and managed critical care patients along with rheumatology conditions. Later, in Basirhat Superspeciality Hospital (2017–2018) I worked as contractual medical officer and bed-in-charge, balancing both IPD and OPD medicine patients. The following year, I continued as consultant at GNRC Medical in General Medicine, again managing broad-spectrum medical cases. From 2019 to 2022, I worked at IPGMER & SSKM Hospital in the Department of Medicine as RMO cum clinical tutor, where apart from emergencies and chronic disease care, I also taught undergraduate and postgraduate students. Teaching brought a new dimension, pushing me to be more precise and updated. In April 2022 I joined residency in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology at IPGMER. Over three years, I gained direct experience managing complicated autoimmune disorders like SLE, systemic sclerosis, myositis, RA, ankylosing spondylitis, along with autoimmune eye and lung disease. I performed salivary gland and kidney biopsies, intraarticular injections across major and small joints, managed biologic infusions, and learnt immunology lab interpretations—ANA, ANCA, ENA, myositis profile, autoimmune encephalitis panels, and musculoskeletal USG guided interventions. Right now, I am serving as Senior Resident in the Rheumatology department at IPGMER. Looking back, the mix of emergency medicine, general medicine, pediatrics, rheumatology and teaching has shaped me into a clinician who can handle complex, multidisciplinary cases while still keeping patient-centered care at the core.

I am a physiotherapist with about 8 yrs in this field, working day to day with patients who come with very differnt needs, from acute injury cases to long term rehab goals. Over this time I got to learn how to balance pain management, mobility training, and preventive strategies in real life setting, not just theory. Many of my patients come with conditions like post fracture stiffness, arthritis related pain, sports injuries or chronic back issues, and my focus is always on restoring their function in a way that fits their lifestyle rather than just quick fix. I do a lot of work in rehabilitation, both after surgery and after trauma, and I know how much patience and persistence it take for a person to slowly recover. Sometimes progress feel slow, but I keep the treatment plan flexible, using exercise therapy, posture correction, manual therapy and simple home routines that keep the recovery sustainable. Preventive care is another area I give attention to, because preventing injuries, especially in people who have risk like poor posture, diabetes or repetitive strain, is as important as treating them after. My approach is clinical but also empathetic, I spend time in communication, understanding the patients concern, their daily challenges, even small things like difficulty in climbing stairs or lifting their child. Those details help me design the rehab plan better. Over 8 years I worked with wide patient groups—children, elderly, athletes, office goers—and that exposure made me confident in adapting techniques across situations. At core, I believe physiotherapy is not only about exercises but about giving people back their independence, dignity and confidence in their own body. Each case teaches me something new, and I carry that into my practice everyday. I try to keep my care practical, evidence based, but also warm, because I know recovery is not only physical, it is emotional too.

I am working as a doctor with 3 yrs of experince where most of my time is around managing general OPD and following up patients who comes with wide range of complaints, from small day to day illness to more complex chronic problems. Over the years I have also developed solid clinical exp in handling CKD patients who are on dialysis, which require constant monitoring, adjusting medication and being alert for complications. When I sit with patients in OPD, I focus on detailed history, simple language explanation and treatment that they can follow without confusion. Many of them are anxious or not fully aware of their condition, so I try to bridge that gap with honest communication. With CKD patients I spend time tracking blood reports, fluid balance, BP, anemia control and making sure their dialysis sessions are safe. Sometimes it is not just about the machine or treatment, but also encouraging them to continue lifestyle measures and medication regularly. During these 3 yrs I learnt how important it is to balance clinical skill with patience. Even small errors in communication can affect compliance, and I saw that clearly in OPD. Managing dialysis cases made me realise the value of teamwork, as we work closely with nurses and technicians to give the best outcome. I keep myself open to learning from seniors and updating my knowledge. My work is not flashy but it’s steady and meaningful. Every day in OPD and dialysis unit I see how continuous care builds trust and help patients live better. That is where I find my role, to make sure each patient feel supported and safe while going through treatment.

I am a medical graduate who did my internship in GMC & Hamidiya group of hospital Bhopal, a govt setup where the exposure was pretty intense. That year taught me not just about protocols but about the real side of patient care, dealing with emergencies in casualty, long hours in OPD, monitoring inpatient wards and also assisting in surgical procedures when needed. I even got chance to be part of community health services, which gave me some perspective of how medicine reach people outside the hospital walls. Now I am working as Medical Officer in a govt civil hospital and honestly that role is where all the training came together. Day to day I see very diverse cases, from acute emergencies that need quick action to chronic conditions that require patience and continuity. The skills I learnt in internship—whether inserting IV lines, handling trauma cases, counseling families, or managing a busy ward—are now things I use almost automatically. At the same time, each case is diferent and there is still always something new to think through. One thing I realized is how important balance between clinical skill and communication is. Patients and families often come with confusion, fear, sometimes unrealistic hope. Being able to explain in simple words, being present and steady, matters as much as writing the prescription. In the hospital setting I also coordinate with nurses, junior staff and other specialists which keeps the workflow smoother. I continue to look at myself as a learner. Every shift teaches me something small, like a new way to approach a diabetic patient or subtle signs in a hypertensive case that you don’t want to miss. Being in govt hospital also means resources are not always perfect, so adapting, improvising and still ensuring safe care is a constant part of the work. This path made me appreciate both the science and humanity of medicine in equal measure, and it keeps me grounded in what the real aim is—better health outcomes for people who come to us.

I am working as a doctor in the dept of General Medicine at Sudha Medical College & Hospital, Kota and have about 3 yrs of hands on clinical experience. Most of my days are spent managing wide variety of patients in opd and wards, sometimes common fevers and other times complicated cases that need close monitoring. I learnt early that patients want more than just medicine, they need someone to hear them out properly, explain what is happening in words they can follow and guide them through the treatment without confusion. In my role I handle chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, GERD and also acute cases that require quick thinking in emergencies. Managing CKD patients on dialysis was also part of my earlier clinical exposure, which taught me patience and how to balance long term management with day to day care. I try to use evidence based practice always, relying on proper history taking, examination and investigation before forming a plan. At the same time I keep focus on compassionate care because a patient who trust their doctor respond better to therapy. I keep interest in preventive medicine too, counseling patients on lifestyle, diet, exercise and regular follow up. With online consultations now becoming important I also make myself available for patients who can’t reach hospital easily, giving continuity of care even from distance. Communication is something I value, maybe I am not always perfect with words but I make sure the patient leave with clarity about their diagnosis and treatment. Working in a busy govt setup shaped my approach to medicine, making me efficient under pressure, able to make quick clinical decisions when resources are limited. Each case adds to my learning and pushes me to stay updated with current guidelines. I see myself not just as a treating doctor but as someone who walk alongside the patient in their health journey, helping them regain confidence and health step by step.

I am a medical doctor who started my journey in a bit of unusual place, working at Kari Motor speed way race track as track emergency doctor. That was a 6 month role but it taught me more about fast decicions, quick assesment, and handling trauma cases in seconds than I ever imagined. When accidents happen on track there is no time for second thoughts, you learn to trust your training and act immediatly. After that phase I moved into Bishop Alappat Mission hospital where I joined as a Casualty Medical Officer. Here the challanges are different, the flow of patients is constant, accidents, cardiac issues, medical emergencies, some nights felt endless. I learnt to balance clinical judgement with empathy because most patients or families arrive in panic, and my job is to calm and treat at same time. Working in casualty sharpened my emergency medicine skills, from managing airway and resuscitation to stabilizing multi-trauma patients before shifting to ICU or surgery. I also handle OPD spillover when emergency dept gets overloaded, so there’s this constant need to adapt. The exposure I got across both high pressure race track and hospital casualty gave me a wide perspective about patient care. I became more confident in acute care medicine, developed team coordination with nurses and paramedics, and improved my ability to manage high-risk situations. What keeps me going is seeing patients recover, knowing that those few minutes of timely intervention mattered. My focus now is to continue building on this foundation, working in emergency setups where rapid response and clear thinking save lives.

I am a practising pediatric anesthesiologist with around 10 yrs of experience, most of my work revolve around providing safe anesthesia care for children, from newborns to older kids who come in for surgeries big or small. Working with children in operating room is not like adult cases, the physiology, the emotions, even the family anxiety – all of it need different kind of approach. I spend a lot of time making sure that kids are comfortable before going into OT, sometimes its just a smile or few words that calm them down more than any medicine. My clinical training gave me strong knowledge in airway management, pain control, sedation, and monitoring critical parameters during surgery, and day after day I apply that to keep young patients stable through procedures. Over years I have been part of routine as well as high risk surgeries, emergencies where quick action matter most, and long planned operations where careful preparation was the key. I also work closely with surgeons, pediatricians, nurses, explaining risk to parents and helping them understand what to expect, cause I believe good communication is as important as technical skill. My focus is always patient safety, minimising pain, and ensuring smooth recovery, whether its a short dental extraction under GA or complex pediatric surgery. I try to keep myself updated with newer protocols and evidence based guidelines, since anesthesia is one field where details can change outcome drastically. Every child I see remind me why precision, patience and compassion have to go together. Being in this field for a decade shaped my outlook as a doctor, taught me to handle stress and still stay calm for the sake of the little one on table.
