Dr. Abhishek Gill
Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University Medical College and Hospital |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who's worked both in emergency and antenatal settings, and that kinda shaped how I deal with patients now. In the ER, I attended medical and surgical emergencies—things like severe pain, trauma, convulsions, sudden fever spikes, breathlessness or random things that don’t look serious at first but turn bad real quick. You don’t get time to overthink there, just assess fast and move. Missed a few signs early on tbh, but you learn fast when mistakes stare back at you.
In OPD, I followed pregnant patients throughout their journey—from early weeks with spotting or nausea, to last visits when the baby kicks too low or BP goes up. Counseled them through scans, meds, birth plans… sometimes just sat and heard them out when they were anxious. Not every case needs medicine, sometimes they just needed time, and I tried to give that even on hectic days. Both areas taught me one thing for sure—every detail matters. And ppl know when you're actually paying attention. |
Achievements: | I am someone who honestly sees my biggest achievement in how my patients feel when they leave—less scared, more informed, actually feeling like someone listened. Doesn’t always show up in charts or reports, but it matters. Whether it's managing an emergency case or just guiding a first-time mother through her pregnancy doubts... I try to focus on *their* well-being not just the textbook part. And yah, I don’t get everything perfect, but I do care. That part’s real and it stays constant. |
I am a doctor with 5 years total experience, mostly split between Emergency and Obstetrics & Gynaecology—and honestly both keep you on your toes in totally different ways. In the ER, you don’t get time to second-guess much. Things come at you fast—trauma, active bleeding, breathlessness, collapsed vitals—and you learn to think, act, then think again. But in Obs/Gyn, it’s more layered. One moment you’re handling routine antenatal care, the next you're managing obstructed labour at 3am with everything depending on timing. I try not to treat anyone like "just another case." I take proper history—like actual, detailed listening—and then move step by step. Exam, investigations only if needed (not just because), and explaining things clearly to the patient and attenders. Not gonna lie, sometimes I do repeat myself twice or thrice. People are stressed, they don’t hear it all the first time. Communication I’d say is one of my stronger areas, but not in some fancy textbook way. Just knowing *how* to talk, when to pause, when not to overload info. Like with a first-time mother in pain who doesn’t care about medical terms—she just wants to know if her baby’s okay. Those moments taught me more about medicine than most of my exams. I handle postpartum issues, early pregnancy complications, PCOD, menstrual complaints, emergency contraception consults too—bit of everything. And in casualty shifts, I’ve done everything from inserting Ryle’s tubes to managing hypertensive crises. You have to stay sharp. But also know when to slow down and re-evalutate something that doesn’t fit right. Counselling’s part of the job too. Sometimes patients need reassurance more than a prescription. Sometimes they just need honesty, even if the answer isn't simple. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I do care enough to find them. Bit by bit. Every single day.
