Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Rajiv Gandhi University Of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am a pediatrician who kinda leans hard into the idea that children’s health shapes everything else—families, futures, society... all of it. I work mostly on general child care, like nutrition issues, fevers, coughs, allergies, delayed milestones, all that day-to-day stuff that parents stress about 24/7. But it’s not *just* about treating symptoms, right? I try to see what’s behind them—sometimes it's a bigger issue, sometimes it’s nothing but fear. Either way, I listen first.
Every kid is diff. One child cries if you look at them, another laughs through a 102 fever. That's why I don't rush things. I mean sure, experience helps—but patience and empathy? That’s the actual skill. I do keep myself updated with guidelines (even if half of them change before you blink) and I talk to parents in plain words... not textbook stuff that makes things worse.
What drives me is just knowing I played even a small part in a child growing up healthier. I’m not tryna fix the whole world, but I do my bit. |
Achievements: | I am someone who kinda stuck to one place but learnt a lot in the process—did my MBBS from Mysore Medical College n then stayed right there for my MD too. It felt right to continue where I started, like the learning wasn’t done yet. That place shaped most of how I think n work as a doctor today. Doesn’t mean I know everythin, but I sure saw all kinds of cases back there, which kinda trained me to keep calm n just focus on the patient, no matter what’s going on. |
I am a paediatrician with 2 yrs experience—might not sound like a lot on paper but trust me, every single day in this field feels like ten rolled into one. My work mostly revolves around general pediatrics—common infections, vaccinations, growth delays, nutrition stuff, and all the usual (and unusual) things that worry parents. I do see a lot of newborns too, and honestly, that stage is delicate. Tiny bodies, unpredictable symptoms, anxious families—every call matters. I try to keep a calm head even when situations get tricky. Sometimes it’s a fever that just won’t go, or a rash that looks like nothing but turns into somethin real. And sometimes it's just a mother who’s sleep-deprived and terrified her baby isn’t feeding “enough.” I listen. That’s probly the first thing I do with every patient—listen carefully. Then I break down what’s happening without drowning them in medical terms. Most parents just want to feel seen and heard, and that someone competent is keeping an eye on things. The hospital rounds were rough at first—so many children, emergencies, and the pressure of knowing there's no room for mistakes. But honestly those moments shaped my confidence. Now whether it's dehydration from diarrhea or a wheezing child in the middle of the night—I don’t panic, I act. Preventive care is kinda close to my heart. I mean, it’s not flashy, doesn’t always get credit, but it's life-changing. Explaining to parents why a vaccine schedule matters or how iron deficiency can mess with brain development—that kind of small talk saves lives long-term. I do wish I could say more “big” things, but right now it’s this ground level work that makes me feel solid—like building the base of something that'll last. I don’t claim to know it all, but I pay attention, keep learning, and yeah—care deeply. That probably counts for more than it sounds.
