Area of specialization: | I am Dr. Abdur Rouf, a general physician — or as some patients just say, the first stop when something feels off but they’re not sure what. My work covers a wide range of medical issues, from common fevers and infections to managing long-term conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders. Some days it’s all routine cases, other times it’s figuring out the tricky ones where symptoms don’t fit neatly in any box. I focus a lot on listening carefully, because small details often make the big difference in diagnosis. I try to keep my approach practical… evidence based treatment but still adapted to what a patient can actually follow in their daily life. That means explaining things in plain words, avoiding too much medical jargon unless it’s really needed. Whether it’s preventive care, ongoing management of chronic illness, or addressing sudden acute problems, my goal stays the same — to make sure the person walking out of my consultation room feels heard, understood, and has a clear plan. And yes sometimes my notes have a typo or two, but the care behind them is always solid. |
Achievements: | I am proud of my time working as an RMO, where every shift felt like a crash course in handling whatever walked through the door. During that period I was honoured with the Best Doctor award — which honestly caught me off guard because I was just focused on doing my job right. It meant a lot knowing patients and colleagues noticed the effort, even on the long nights when I was running between wards and barely had time for a sip of water. |
I am working as a Medical Officer in a government hospital, which means my days can go from calm to chaotic in less than five minutes. Government setups are… different. You don’t always get every resource you wish for, but you learn to work with what’s there, to make fast decisions, and to keep patient care moving even when the waiting area is full and the clock is running. On any given day, I might be treating a child with a high fever, managing an elderly patient with multiple chronic conditions, or handling emergencies like road traffic accidents or acute chest pain. The variety keeps me on my toes — and honestly, sometimes I’m thinking about three different cases at once while trying to remember if I even had my tea. Public healthcare means seeing people from all backgrounds, some who can explain their symptoms in detail and others who struggle to even name what’s wrong. That’s where listening and asking the right questions matter more than anything. You learn to read faces, tones, pauses… sometimes the smallest clue changes the whole diagnosis. I believe in evidence-based practice, but I also know that real-world care needs flexibility. A patient may not be able to afford every test or follow every instruction to the letter, so I try to make plans that are practical for them. It’s not just about treating a disease, it’s about helping a person get better in their own reality. My role often includes coordinating with nurses, lab staff, and other specialists to make sure care doesn’t stall. In emergencies, there’s no time for long discussions — you move fast, stabilize, and then explain later. That urgency has taught me a lot about staying calm under pressure… well, calm enough. Some days are exhausting, some are rewarding, most are both. But at the end of the shift, if I’ve made even a small difference for someone who walked in worried and left feeling a little more secure, then I think it’s worth it. And yes, my handwriting on prescriptions might not win awards, but the treatment is solid.
