Education: | Hassan institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am someone who has worked across almost every dept, which gave me a chance to see both the small and the big side of medicine. From simple things like giving an injection, stitching small wounds, inserting IV lines—to emergency life saving work like doing an intubation when a patient just can’t breathe on their own... I’ve been in those situations and handled them head on. That mix of minor and critical procedures really shaped my confidence.
I manage both OPD and IPD cases—general outpatient where ppl come with fever, stomach ache, joint pain, BP issues, diabetes checks... all those routine yet important cases. And then the ICU side, which is a whole different world. Monitoring critical patients hour to hour, adjusting meds, ventilator settings, balancing fluids, updating families—it’s exhausting but also where you see the real impact of fast decisions.
For me, the variety is what keeps it interesting. One part of the day might look “simple” but it’s never really simple when it’s someone’s health on the line. The other part might be high-pressure, but that’s where training kicks in. I think this blend—OPD to ICU, basic to advanced—makes me a more rounded clinician, and I keep learning from every single case. |
Achievements: | I am an MBBS graduate with certification in Emergency Cardiac Life Support—got trained to handle critical cardiac emergencies where literally every second matters. That course made me way more confident in dealing with collapse, arrest, and sudden cardiac events esp in high-stress situations. I'm also an active member of the National Service Scheme, with a state-level certificate—did medical camps, public health awareness drives, and community support stuff that honestly taught me more about people than textbooks ever did!! |
I am a graduate from Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences, Hassan Karnataka, where I did my MBBS along with the compulsory internship that shaped most of my early clinical habits. Those months in internship weren’t just about ticking cases, they were more like a crash course in reality—OPD crowd piling up, late night ward rounds, learning to balance textbook theory with what a patient actually feels when they sit in front of you. That’s where I figured how medicine is never just about diagnosis codes, it’s about listening, observing small details, and making quick but careful choices. During MBBS I rotated through almost every major dept—medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, ortho—and each posting left a diff imprint. In medicine wards, I learned patience, coz chronic cases need long-term follow up and steady trust. In surgery, speed and precision. Pediatrics made me realise how hard it is to calm worried parents while also treating the child. And ICU postings, well, those gave me a sense of how fragile things can turn within minutes. Right now I’m based in Alwar district of Rajasthan, where healthcare needs are pretty diverse. Here, I see how access, awareness, and lifestyle factors play such a big role in how people present their health problems. Rural patients often come late, city patients come over-anxious, but both need the same thing—clear advice and reliable care. Practicing in this region also taught me to adapt—to manage with what’s available, not always what’s “ideal” in books. I approach patient care in a straightforward way: keep it simple, keep it practical, and avoid overloading with jargon. My goal is to bridge that gap between medical knowledge and what a person can actually follow in daily life. Some days it’s frustrating, some days it’s deeply rewarding, but in the end, every patient encounter leaves me with something to carry forward.
