Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am working as a general physician and most of my day goes into handling both communicabke and non communicate diseases — the usual fevers, infections, diabetes, hypertension, gastric issues, plus those long term conditions that need ongoing follow up. It’s a wide mix honestly, and sometimes feels like you never know what next patient is bringing in. Preventive medicine is another part I try to focus on, cause stopping disease before it grows bigger make a huge difference, but not everyone takes it serious until later.
I also have experience with occupational medicine, which kinda opened my eyes to how much work environment affect health. Ppl spend half their lives at jobs and that brings its own set of problems, from stress related complaints to repetitive injuries or exposure to hazards. Addressing those cases need both medical care and practical advice about lifestyle and safety, not just handing a prescription.
At the end, my role feels like connecting the dots — acute illness, chronic disease, prevention, workplace health — they all overlap more than we think. I try to explain things simple, maybe not perfect all the time, but always aiming that patient walk away with clarity and a plan they can actually follow. |
Achievements: | I am working in medicine for more than 14 yrs now, handling both acute cases and long standing chronic problems that demand continous care. Over this time I got chance to grow not just in clinical work but also in preventive health, which is an area I keep close focus on. One of the highlights for me was recieving a state level award for preventive health efforts — a reminder that even small steps in awareness and early intervention can make big impact. That recognition stays with me as I continue practice. |
I am working in medicine for more than 15 yrs now, and during this time I dealt with both acute emergencies and chronic health conditions that demand constant follow up. From high fevers, chest infections, sudden strokes, to long standing diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, gastric troubles — I seen the full range in daily practice. Every patient walk in with their own story, and honestly no two cases are ever same, even when the diagnosis looks similar on paper. Preventive medicine also became a important part of what I do. Managing disease is one side, but guiding patients on how to stop them before they start feels equally critical. Many times I realised people don’t need another test or one more pill, they need small corrections in diet, exercise, lifestyle habits that nobody explained properly to them. Preventive care sounds simple, but it actually needs patience and clear communication, cause changing habits isn’t easy. Over the years, I learnt that acute cases teach urgency — you need to act fast, trust your training and not freeze when alarms go off. Chronic conditions, on the other hand, teach consistency. You can’t push sugar or blood pressure into control overnight, it’s about steady monitoring, regular adjustments, and also convincing the patient to stay on track when they feel fine and want to stop meds. Both sides of medicine challenge you differently, but also shape you into more balanced doctor. I keep my approach direct, not overloaded with heavy terms. I like to explain to patients in plain words what’s going wrong and how we can fix it together. Some days are tiring, sometimes frustrating when progress is slow, but other times you see health actually improving and it reminds you why you started. 15 yrs later I still feel like there’s more to learn, but I also know I carry enough experience now to manage complex cases with confidence while still keeping the human side of care alive.
