Dr. Kartikey Sethi
Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | Vinayaka Missions Medical College |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am a general practitioner... kinda in that space where I deal with a bit of *everything* honestly. From regular fever-cold stuff to weird skin patches no one can explain, I see all sorts of things walk in. My main focus is on everyday health concerns—like headaches, digestion issues, BP checks, infections, that sort. But I don’t just look at symptoms, I try to figure out what’s *behind* it. Sometimes ppl don’t even know what they’re feeling exactly—they just say “something’s off,” and that’s where I really pay attention.
I like keeping my consultations easy-going, not rushed. I don’t talk in too much medical jargon unless someone asks, coz what’s the point if no one gets it?? My goal is simple: get to the root, treat what needs treating, and avoid throwing meds at everything. I prefer guiding patients through basic lifestyle shifts when it makes more sense than pills.
I see a mix of ages too—kids, adults, elder ppl—all with their own stories. And yeah, I don’t mind saying “I’m not sure” when I need to refer. I care more about right care than showing off. |
Achievements: | I am an MBBS doctor—finished my degree after years of long shifts, late nights, way too much chai, and honestly some pretty intense learning curves. It’s not just a certificate on paper for me, it’s what trained me to deal with real ppl in real-time—like when vitals drop, or someone walks in with 5 diff symptoms but no clue what’s going on. My MBBS journey taught me to think quick but not jump to conclusions... and yeah, to never underestimate the power of just asking the right questions first. |
I am working as a general practitioner with around 1 year of hands-on experience in primary care—and yeah, before that, I was already deep into clinical practice for 3 years in other roles. Honestly, general practice kinda grounds you. Like, you're not just seeing symptoms—you’re seeing full stories. Fever, digestion issues, sudden pain, skin rash that just showed up outta nowhere... sometimes it’s all tangled together and the patient’s like “I don’t know where to start,” and I totally get that. In these past years, what really stood out for me is how important *listening* is. I mean real listening—not just ticking boxes or rushing through prescriptions. A lot of ppl come in already tired of not being heard, or half scared coz Google gave them the worst possible scenario online!! That’s where I try to keep things calm... explain what’s actually going on, clear up confusion, suggest what *actually* needs treatment vs what’ll settle down on its own. I don’t over-prescribe. Sometimes I tell them—“let’s watch this for a few days.” Because not everything needs meds right away. I work mostly with adult patients but also get a mix of kids n elders too—headaches, stomach stuff, mild infections, follow-ups for long-term conditions like BP n thyroid... the usual mix. But even “usual” cases, they never feel the same. One patient might respond super fast, the next one—same complaint, totally diff outcome. Keeps me on my toes. Not claiming to be an expert in everything—I still refer when needed, still read stuff every week, still ask seniors when I get stuck. But that’s how I work. No ego there. I believe basic healthcare needs to feel *accessible*. Not scary, not rushed. And if someone walks out feeling just a lil less anxious than when they came in—then honestly, I feel like I did *something* right that day.
