Dr. Siddharth Shukla
Experience: | 8 years |
Education: | T.S. Misra Medical College |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am working as a general physician and most of my practice goes around dealing with wide range of medical problems. On some days I spend long hours with respiratory cases, chronic cough, asthma, sometimes even COPD flare ups where breathing itself becomes a struggle. Other days I focus on endocrine disorders like diabetes or thyroid issues, where the challenge is more about long term balance than quick fixes.
Cardiac diseases too are frequent, chest pain, hypertension, irregular rhythms – each needs close watch. Then there are skin conditions, from common infections to more stubborn dermatalogical problems, patients often worry more about how it looks than what caused it. Renal and hepatic disorders add another layer, because kidneys and liver affect almost everything in the body. Gastric complaints are daily routine as well, acidity, ulcers, indigestion, all kinds of discomfort that disturb normal life.
I also see neurological diseases, ranging from headaches to neuropathies, sometimes seizures. Each patient story feels different even if the diagnosis sound similar on paper. My approach is to listen carefully first, then decide the investigation, because rushing without context often misses the key detail. I try to keep care practical, using standard guidelines but adapting them to patient’s needs. |
Achievements: | I am certified in ACLS and BLS, which basically means I trained in handling advanced cardiac life support as well as basic life saving steps during emergencies. For me these are not just certificates but real skills that I had to practice again and again, from chest compressions to airway management. It makes me feel more prepared in acute situations, whether its sudden cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. These courses demand precision but also fast thinking, and I try to keep both sharp!! |
I am a doctor who started my medical journey with internship at Lucknow TSM Medical College, where I got my first real exposure to handling patients on daily basis. The shift from classroom to ward was not easy, sometimes overwhelming, but it taught me how theory and practice dont always match. I learned to handle emergencies, do routine checkups and support seniors while slowly building confidence in my own decisions. After that I worked as a junior resident at KGMU Medical College, Lucknow. KGMU is a busy place, cases come nonstop, from minor issues to very complex ones. Working there shaped my approach toward patient care, because in such a crowded setup you cant afford to lose time, yet you also need to maintain sensitivity to what patients and families are going through. I was directly involved in clinical assessments, coordinating with consultants, and managing patients across different departments. Long shifts, late nights, but it gave me the discipline I needed. Later I continued my residency at RMRI Bareilly. Residency is always demanding, and in Bareilly I was pushed to take more responsibility, from diagnosis to treatment plans. I spent long hours studying reports, following up on patient progress, and sometimes doubting whether I am doing enough, but those doubts only pushed me to become more careful. Being a resident also taught me the importance of teamwork — nurses, colleagues, seniors — no one can handle everything alone, and small missteps can matter a lot. Step by step these experiences shaped my way of working. I try to keep a balance between clinical accuracy and human connection, because patients remember not just what treatment they got but also how they were treated as a person. I still continue to learn every single day, and maybe that will never stop, but I feel that is what makes this profession alive and meaningful.
