Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am an orthopedic surgeon, trained with an MS in Orthopedics, and most of what I do revolves around bones, joints, trauma, pain, and mobility... or sometimes the lack of it. I work on cases like fractures, ligament injuries, joint dislocations, post-op rehab—you name it. Some days I’m fixing broken bones, other days I’m explaining to a patient why their knee pain isn’t “just age.” I do assist in surgeries, manage ortho OPDs, and stay involved right from diagnosis to recovery. Orthopedics is not just cutting and fixing. It's about timing, patience, follow-up—and knowing *when not to operate* too. Every joint has a story, every limp has a cause. I try not to rush that part. I still get surprised how even small injuries can affect someone’s whole lifestyle. And yeah, I try to keep it real... no big medical words unless someone *wants* the details. My goal's just to get ppl moving again. In a way that actually lasts. |
Achievements: | I am a spine fellowship holder—completed specialized training in spine surgery where I got hands-on with both routine and complex spine cases. From disc issues to deformity corrections to post-op spine care, I’ve worked through all kinds. That phase kinda shifted how I saw ortho... like, spine cases need diff level of planning and focus, not just technique. It’s not always straight foward, and yeah, sometimes the tiniest misalignment can mess with someone’s entire gait or posture. That stuck with me. |
I am from the 2013 MBBS batch and later completed my MS in Orthopedics in 2020. That gap in between wasn’t just years passing—it was filled with calls at 3am, first assists, watching fractures get aligned back into place, and slowly realising how much precision this field really demands. Orthopedics isn’t just bone-deep... it’s about restoring how someone *lives*. A limp, a stiff joint, an old sports injury that keeps flaring—small stuff that actually messes with someone’s daily life big time. During MBBS, I was more drawn to surgical work—loved anatomy, probably more than I shud admit—but I didn’t fully decide on ortho till I spent time in trauma care. Once I saw how fast decisions had to be made in fracture cases, and how that literally changes someone’s recovery—it just clicked. Since then, every surgery, every post-op rehab follow-up—it all felt like building something that mattered. In MS training, I got solid exposure to spine cases, joint replacements, trauma ortho, and day-to-day OPD too. Assisted seniors who didn’t sugarcoat anything—if I missed a step, I heard about it. If I didn’t prep well, it showed. That kinda training keeps you real, sharp. It also taught me that surgery isn’t always the first or only answer. Some cases just need guidance, physio, meds—what matters most is choosing the right plan *for that patient*. Right now, I’m working with a wide range of orthopedic conditions—acute injuries, chronic joint pain, ligament tears, post-operative care—and yes, I still keep learning. Whether it’s a teenager with sports trauma or an elder with knee OA struggling to climb stairs, I try to break things down simply, not overload them with terms or false hope. Some days the recovery is slow, some days it surprises you. Either way, I stay in it with them. That’s how I practice.
