Experience: | 4 years |
Education: | Hind institute of medical sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am a general physician who basically deals with everything that walks through the door before it gets too complicated. Like, fever that won’t go down, BP shooting high for no reason, chest pain that might just be acidity (but might not be), weird fatigue people ignore until they can’t. All of that. I try to look at the full picture before jumping to meds... sometimes it’s not just one thing going wrong, it’s a mix, and that's where general medicine feels kinda like detective work.
I usually manage common infections, diabetes, hypertension, minor gut issues, allergic flareups, and yeh—random symptoms that don’t fit neatly into one box. Which honestly happens a lot. A patient says “just cold and body pain” and then turns out it’s dengue or typhoid or something else entirely. Keeps me on my toes.
One thing I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) is not to rush to treat, even when patients expect a quick fix. I try to explain what’s going on in simple words—not all listen, but most do when they feel heard. I won’t lie, I don’t have a magic answer for everything. Sometimes symptoms are vague. Sometimes the tests don’t say much. But I try. I ask again. I dig deeper if something doesn't feel right.
And yeah—I deal with preventive care too. Like, if someone wants to just check if things are normal, I actually like those consults. It means they’re thinking ahead. Anyway, general practice is kinda broad, but that’s what I like. You see everyone—young, old, in-between. No two days feel the same. |
Achievements: | I am a general physician who finished MBBS and just didn’t stop there. Took my time learning how to handle real-world cases—like actual people, not just textbook ones. I manage things like diabetes, fevers, BP, gut stuff, and other internal medicine basics, but I try to go a bit beyond that. Not just treat fast and move on. Clinical judgment’s still growing tbh, but I take pride in staying calm even when the diagnosis don’t show up clear. That itself feels like a win somedays. |
I am someone who spent 6 months working at Malti Memorial Hospital and honestly that short time kinda taught me more than I expected. I mean, you read textbooks and pass exams but then real patients walk in—with pain, fear, weird symptoms—and suddenly you're not thinking about MCQs, you're thinking about what *actually* helps. I mostly assisted with dental cases during my time there—routine and complicated both. Cleanings, fillings, extractions, and root canals were part of the daily flow, but what stood out more was watching how senior docs dealt with people. Like, not just the treatment part, but how they explained stuff... gently but clearly, especially to elder folks or scared kids. I still remember fumbling over words trying to explain post-op care to one patient and realizing I gotta get better at *talking*, not just doing. There were days when OPD would get packed, and we had to work fast but still not mess anything up. Honestly made me appreciate efficiency without losing focus. Did I forget steps sometimes? yep. Did I double-glove by mistake or drop an instrument? also yes (embarrassing). But it made me sharper, more aware. Learned to prep trays better, assist quicker, clean instruments properly, and yeah—respect every little part of the process. Even the boring ones. Also got to observe a few minor oral surgeries and that kinda sparked my interest in more advanced stuff. I wasn’t always directly involved but just being there, watching, asking doubts later... those bits add up. Even now, some habits I picked up there—like being extra careful with case history or checking occlusion twice—stick with me. That hospital wasn’t fancy or high-tech, but it was busy. Real work, real learning. And while 6 months might not sound like a lot on paper, I honestly feel it shaped a chunk of how I approach patients now—more calm, more alert, and def a bit more humble.
