Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Chhattisgarh Institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am specialized in MS General Surgery and my work revolves around handling a wide range of surgical cases, from routine procedures to more urgent emergencies that come unexpected. My training gave me experience in operations like appendectomy, gall bladder removal, hernia repairs, bowel resections and also post operative wound care which often is as important as the surgery itself. I focus a lot on careful diagnosis before surgery, because understanding when to operate and when to wait is key for patient safety.
In general surgery you never really know what comes next — sometimes it’s a planned elective case, other times trauma rushes through the door and you have to take quick but solid decisions. That unpredictability keeps me alert and also pushed me to value teamwork, since no surgeon can manage everything alone. I believe in clear communication with patients too, explaining their condition and treatment options in simple terms, even if they are anxious or confused.
My approach is not just about cutting or suturing, it’s about treating the whole person. Pain management, recovery support, and long term follow up are all part of the care I try to deliver. Clean surgical technique, asepsis and attention to detail are habits I carry every day. Over time I have realised general surgery demands patience, adaptability and also humility, because every case can teach you something new, and mistakes only come when you stop respecting the basics. |
Achievements: | I am proud of completing my MBBS which built the foundation of my medical journey, and later earning my MS in General Surgery where I got to refine both clinical skills and surgical judgement. Those degrees may sound like just titles but behind them were years of training, long calls, endless ward rounds and learning directly from patients. They taught me discipline, patience and the importance of balancing knowledge with hands on expereince, which guide me in daily surgical practice. |
I am a doctor trained in MBBS and MS General Surgery, and my path in medicine really shaped how I see patients and their care. From the early years of basic clinical training to the more intense surgical postings, I learned that surgery is not just about operation theatre skills but also about judgement, timing and compassion. Every case has its own story, sometimes it is a straightforward hernia repair and other times it is a complex abdominal emergency where you dont get much time to think but still must act with clarity. During my training I was exposed to a wide variety of surgical procedures, covering both elective and emergency work. Appendectomies, gall bladder surgeries, bowel resections, wound management, all formed a large part of my daily practice. What interested me deeply was the process of clinical decision making—how to interpret the history, link it with examination and diagnostic tests, then plan a management that is safe and effective. Even small decisions like when to operate and when to hold off can make a huge difference in outcomes. I also try to focus on the patient beyond the disease. Explaining the surgery in simple words, preparing them mentally, and making sure they feel supported through recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. In general surgery we often deal with patients in pain or distress, and that moment requires patience. Sometimes you feel the pressure, but it teaches you resilience and empathy. Over the years I understood that general surgery demands flexibility. You may be handling trauma in one shift, thyroid surgery the next, or managing post-operative care for a critical patient. That unpredictability is challenging but it also keeps me sharp. I value teamwork in theatre and in wards, because no surgeon can function alone, and a good outcome always comes from coordinated effort. I keep pushing myself to refine my surgical techniques and stay updated with new practices, but at the same time I never forget the core basics that were drilled into me during training. Clean technique, proper asepsis, clear communication with colleagues and patients. Those are the foundations I rely on daily. My aim is simple—to provide safe, effective surgical care and to support my patients from the first consult till the final follow up, ensuring they feel seen and cared for every step.
