Dr. Rajat Nahata
Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | The West Bengal University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am specialised in managing a wide range of emergency medical situations—those moments where every second matter. Conditions like heart attack, acute stroke, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), acute COPD flare-ups… these are things I handle with a mix of fast decision-making and careful monitoring. My goal in such cases isn’t just to stabilise but to start the right treatment pathway early, because delays can change everything.
Alongside emergencies, I also take care of general health problems, esp related to the heart, lungs, chronic pain and long-term illnesses like diabetes. I work on both the acute side and the ongoing management—making sure the patient doesn’t just recover from one episode but stays stable in the long run. That means fine-tuning medications, adjusting lifestyle advice, and keeping track of early warning signs.
In both urgent and routine care, I keep the focus on accuracy—getting the right diagnosis fast and aligning it with a treatment plan that actually fits the person’s life, not just their chart. It’s about staying ready for the unpredictable while still working on the slow, steady stuff that prevents the next crisis. |
Achievements: | I am certified for completing my housestaffship in both Emergency Medicine and in Critical Care & Anaesthesia, which for me was more than just a formality—it was months of real exposure to urgent, high-pressure cases where timing and precision made all the difference. From managing sudden cardiac events to supporting patients under anaesthesia, those rotations shaped how I look at patient stability, team coordination and quick clinical judgment. |
I am someone who’s spent a good chunk of my early career right in the thick of high-pressure medical settings—first as a House Physician in the Dept of Emergency Medicine, and then in Critical Care & Anaesthesia. Those shifts weren’t just jobs, they were constant tests—every beep of a monitor, every call over the intercom could mean a case where seconds really do count. In emergency medicine, I learnt to think fast but act with precision… triaging patients, stabilizing vitals, coordinating with multi-disciplinary teams, and making sure no detail slipped even when the room was chaos. Then came my stint in critical care & anaesthesia, which honestly deepened my understanding of patient management in ways I hadn’t imagined. It’s one thing to handle emergencies, but another to keep critically ill patients stable over days or weeks—ventilator care, sedation protocols, invasive monitoring, post-op support. Anaesthesia too is its own art—you’re managing that delicate balance between unconsciousness, pain relief, and safety. What stuck with me most is how these fields force you to keep learning on the fly. Protocols are there, yes, but no two patients present exactly the same. You adapt, you reassess, you listen to the team around you. Sometimes that means changing a plan mid-procedure because the patient’s pressure is dropping, or catching a subtle lab change before it spirals. Working in both emergency and critical care taught me to value clear communication, whether with colleagues or the patient’s family who are often scared and desperate for answers. It also made me realise—good medicine isn’t just about what you do in the moment, but about preparing for what might happen next. That’s the mindset I carry forward into every case I see now
