Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | CMU |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am working toward my MRCEM right now—Membership of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine—which honestly feels like a tough but necessary next step if you wanna stay sharp in acute care. It’s not just about exams or some fancy credential, it’s more like aligning my clinical habits with global best practices. Emergency medicine is changing fast and I don’t wanna just keep up, I wanna actually understand *why* we do things the way we do.
My main focus is still hands-on emergency care, but I’ve gotten more curious lately about innovation too—like tech in triage, newer trauma protocols, patient flow models, all that stuff. Not all of it works in our settings, but bits of it do. I like figuring that out.
For me, outcomes matter—but not just survival rates or discharge times. I mean how ppl *leave* the ER. If they feel seen, safe, maybe a lil more in-control… that counts too. I'm still growing into this field, tbh. Trying not to lose the human part in all the clinical rush. |
Achievements: | I am certified in ACLS & BLS—real-world, not just on-paper, stuff. Worked frontline at Gen Hospital Trivandrum during covid peaks, no idea how we pulled through half those shifts tbh. That phase taught me more than any textbook ever did. Right now doing an MBA in Healthcare Mgmt too, tryna mix med with leadership n maybe fix a few broken systems. I lean heavy on trauma care, team coord & fast decisions under pressure... it's messy work but kinda where I feel most useful. |
I am a physician trained in modern medicine, and most of what I know really comes from being *in it*—working frontline in emergency departments across different multi-specialty hospitals in India. These weren’t quiet wards. High-acuity setups where things change fast, and you gotta think even faster. Not just about *how* to treat, but *when*, *what first*, and *what not to miss*. Those shifts shape you real quick. I kinda found my rhythm in the chaos—emergency medicine just pulls you in that way. One minute it’s blunt trauma, next minute stroke code, then sepsis or a kid in shock. Each case messes with your plan a bit, which’s why rapid decision-making ain’t just a skill... it’s survival mode, really. You don't get perfect conditions. But you learn to work with whatever you got—team, tech, protocol or none of that. Collaboration matters more than ppl think—ICU guys, neuro, ortho, even the non-clinical staff. Emergency care doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and you either build that team vibe or risk things falling thru the cracks. I also follow evidence-based protocols (as much as situation allows tbh). Guidelines help, but patients don’t read those—each one's different, and sometimes you gotta bend things a bit to fit real life. Honestly, I still learn every shift—some cases sit with you longer than they should. But it’s that unpredictability that keeps me at it. It's not clean, it's not perfect—but it's real, and I guess that’s what drives me.
