Dr. Meghna Mondal
Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | Bankura Sammilani Medical College |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am a doctor specialised in obstetrics and gynecology, and honestly it's one of those fields where every single day feels intense in it’s own way. I deal with pregnancy care mostly—antenatal checkups, managing high-risk cases, normal deliveries, C-sections—along with treating menstrual disorders, PCOS, fibroids, infections, fertility concerns, and a bunch of other things that ppl usually google before they walk in half-worried.
Labour room is where I probably learnt the most. Timing, patience, making split decisions when things shift suddenly—those moments kinda stay with you. But the OPD teaches too. I get women coming in with everything from mild discomfort to long-ignored symptoms. Half the work is actually listening properly before jumping into diagnosis mode. You start noticing patterns. Or sometimes, you don’t, and you dig deeper. That part’s crucial.
I also handle contraceptive advice, basic infertility evaluations, menopausal issues and postnatal follow-ups. And yah—there are surgeries too. I assist and perform wherever required depending on the case, from D\&Cs to more involved procedures when needed.
It’s not all perfect, I still forget a few follow-ups unless I double note it somewhere (hate relying only on EMR alerts lol), but I’m steady. Clear where I stand. And always trying to make each consult feel less rushed. Because a lot of these problems don’t get spoken about easily, and I try not to forget that. |
Achievements: | I am someone who completed MBBS with honours, then went ahead and did my M.S. in obstetrics & gynecology — which honestly was way tougher than I expected (mentally too, not just academically). After that I also cleared my DNB, and more recently cleared MRCOG Part 2 which felt like a whole mountain on it’s own. Each step just made me relook how I handle cases, specially the complex ones. Not flashy stuff, just solid clinical grounding that I keep building on every single day. |
I am a Senior Resident with 3 years of clinical work after completing my MS, and honestly, those years didn’t just go by—they left marks. Long shifts, late-night calls, emergency scrambles, and quiet moments that teach you way more than lectures ever did. I mostly dealt with surgical patients, both elective and trauma. Pre-op to post-op, ward management, assisting in OT, handling complications—kind of got used to the rhythm even when it didn’t always feel smooth. Every day wasn't perfect, sometimes it was pure chaos tbh. Like when 4 cases pile up and you’re trying to remember who needs what first. I messed up a few notes early on, missed a suture tray once (ugh), but those mistakes taught me more than anything else. Started double-checking vitals, re-reading instructions, and slowly stopped relying only on memory. Small things, but they add up. I worked closely with my seniors, which helped a lot. Learned how to stay calm during bleeds, how to read imaging better (still not an expert lol), and how to actually *listen* when a patient or even a nurse says something’s off. That kind of stuff isn’t always in books but makes all the diff in outcomes. Also started getting more comfortable with minor surgical procedures. Didn’t rush into them—took time watching, assisting, then slowly doing under supervision. It’s nerve-wracking at first. Hands shake. But then you do it enough and something just clicks. You still stay alert, of course, but the fear sort of fades into focus. Working as a Senior Resident isn’t glamorous, and honestly doesn’t get talked about much. But those 3 years shaped how I practice, how I manage stress, and how I deal with patients like actual people—not just “cases.” I still ask questions. Still check my own work twice. But I move more confidently now. Bit more sure. Still learning every day, still showing up.
