Dr. Shaik Javed
Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Davao Medical School Foundation |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly focused on treating general infections and day-to-day health issues—the kinda stuff ppl usually ignore till it messes up their routine. Whether it’s viral fevers, throat infections, stomach bugs, UTIs, or even skin rashes that pop up outta nowhere, I try to get to the root fast and treat it without overcomplicating things. Some cases are plain bacterial but others turn out to be mixed or resistant and that's where u gotta think a bit different.
I also manage a wide range of common health problems like acidity, fatigue, minor headaches, body pain, digestion-related complaints, you name it. Many ppl come with something they think is just simple cold but turns out to be dengue or typhoid, especially during seasonal spikes. I kinda stay alert for patterns—like when too many ppl from same area report same thing, makes you dig a bit deeper.
My goal's to keep treatment clear and make sure patients understand what’s going on without medical jargon overload. Not here to scare anyone but also not gonna sugarcoat when something needs serious attention. |
Achievements: | I am kinda proud of clearing the FMG exam in my first attempt tbh... not just coz it's tough, but coz that whole prep phase really tested me. Like juggling all those subjects—Anat, Pharma, Patho—and making sure you don’t mess up even basics under stress... that’s a diff kinda pressure. It wasn't just luck or good memory, I really had to grind through MCQs, mocks, revision schedules (some failed too lol), but yeah, managed it in one go. That gave me a solid push early on. |
I am working as a general physician from a little over 2 years now, and honestly, each day feel kinda diff—new faces, new symptoms, sometimes same problems but reacting in totally weird ways. My core work usually circles around diagnosing common illness, managing chronic lifestyle diseases like diabetes, high bp, thyroid issues etc. but in real life, it's never that straightforward. There's always someone with 3 overlapping thing going on and one random allergy no one saw coming. I'm used to treating things like viral fever, infections, gastric troubles, headaches, joint pain, and the usual flu stuff—but also keep a close watch on early signs that something deeper might be going wrong. Sometimes a normal cough ain't really that normal... you just sense it. That’s something you develop only by actually sitting across patients for months. I do a lot of OPD consultations, handle follow-ups, do routine check-ups and also get to help ppl with preventive care. It's not just fixing things but trying to avoid future ones if we can. I try to listen properly (though some days are just full-on packed, ngl), and I keep things simple—no jargon unless needed. One of the things I noticed is patients usually don't open up fully until they feel you actually care. Just a few mins extra, letting them talk a bit more, and then connecting the dots—makes the whole diff. I do take time reading about new trends and updated treatment guidelines too, cuz medicine keep changing, and honestly, you can’t stick to old stuff blindly. There are days when I doubt if I handled a case the best way possible—but then the patient comes back better and smiling and ya, those moments keep me going. Not here to impress, just trying to do my job right and get better at it slowly.
