Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am currently doing my OBG residency, learning every day from a mix of challenging cases, routine ward work and labor room duties that keep me on my toes. Before entering residency, I worked as a general physician both in an area hospital and later in a private clinic, which gave me solid ground in handling wide variety of medical cases – from fevers, infections and chronic disease management to urgent emergencies where quick thinking mattered more than anything else. That phase taught me how to listen better, to balance patient expectation with what medicine can offer, and to keep calm even when situation is stressful.
Now in obstetrics and gynecology, my focus has shifted to women’s health, pregnancy care, and management of gynecological problems. I deal with antenatal checkups, deliveries, postnatal care, menstrual disorders, infertility evaluations, and also surgical aspects like minor procedures. Each patient story is different — some come with joy of expecting a child, others with pain of long standing gyne problems, and I try to approach both with equal attention and empathy.
Residency life is tough, no doubt. Long nights, sudden calls, cases that dont go as planned. But it also gives chance to learn teamwork, discipline and the importance of precision in every small step whether in surgery or counseling. I value that every shift brings new experience, new doubt, and new lesson that help me grow as clinician.
I continue to carry forward my background as a general physician into my residency, cause it help me look at patient as whole rather than just focusing on one system. My aim is to build myself into a doctor who can provide comprehensive women’s health care, rooted in strong clinical practice but also in human connect. |
Achievements: | I am not the type who count medals or titles as real achievment, for me the biggest reward is seeing patients recover and go back to their normal life. When someone walks in with pain, anxiety or even doubt about treatment and later walk out with relief, that feel like success. My focus always stays on patient’s well being, whether its through simple advice, long term management or supportive care. That trust and satisfaction is what I value most in my work every day. |
I am a doctor with 3 yrs of work experience and in this short span I learned that medicine is less about titles and more about being present for ppl when they need it the most. My clinical journey has given me exposure to both outpatient and inpatient care, emergencies that demand instant response, and long term cases where patience and follow up matter more than any quick fix. Working with patients everyday, I realised how much trust is involved, and that trust is something you earn slowly not just by giving treatment but by listening carefully. During these 3 years I dealt with wide range of conditions — acute infections, chronic illness that need continous monitoring, general complaints like fevers and body pain, and also preventive care. Sometimes it is about prescribing right medicine, sometimes about guiding lifestyle, sometimes just reassuring anxious family members. Every case teaches something new and no two days feel same. I also learned to balance clinical knowledge with practicality. In real practice you don’t always get ideal setup or full resources, especially in busy govt or private setups, and you have to make decisions that are safe and effective even in limited time. That shaped my confidence and sharpened my ability to prioritize what really matters for patient recovery. I believe strongly in preventive medicine because treating illness after it progress is much harder. Small steps like vaccination advice, routine checkups, health education — they make a huge difference, even if patients don’t always realise it immediately. Looking back, 3 yrs may not sound long, but it feels intense with all the variety of cases, late night calls, successful recoveries and some losses too. I know I am still learning everyday, but what I carry with me is a sense of commitment to keep improving and to provide care that is both scientific and humane.
