Education: | Meenakshi Medical College |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working in the field of general surgery, with more focus on hernia, haemorrhoid, thyroid and breast surgeries. Over the years of training and practice I learned that each of these areas need a different kind of patience and precision.. like hernia repair is often about restoring normal function and helping a patient get back to daily work without pain, while haemorrhoid or piles care is more about giving relief from chronic discomfort that people usually delay bringing up out of hesitaion. In thyroid and breast surgeries the challenge is not only technical but also in handling the emotional side of the patient who come worried about cancer risk or appearance.
I perform diagnostic evaluation, surgical planning and post operative care across these conditions. My role also extend to explaining treatment options in simple langauge, helping patients and their families take informed decision. I am comfortable handling both open and minimal invasive approaches depending on what fits best for a case. Every surgery feels like a responsibility where accuracy matters, but equal important is the follow up, the reassurance that recovery is on track.
What I like most is the variety – one day I may be in OT doing a hernia mesh repair, next day in OPD consulting for thyroid swellings, or managing breast lump evaluations. These areas keep me learning and adapting, as guidelines change and patients expectation also grow. At times its stressful to juggle everything, yet it makes the work meaningful. |
Achievements: | I am glad to have completed FMAS and DMAS which gave me solid exposure to minimal access and advanced laparoscopic surgery.. these programs taught me not just the technique but also the discipline of working with precision in limited space. It felt tough at start, lot of practice on basic steps, but over time it made my surgical skills sharper. This achievement matter to me because it directly help patients get faster recovery and less post op pain, which is the main aim anyway. |
I am working as an Assistant professor at Srinivasan Medical College in Trichy since 2021 and over these years I got to see both the clinical and academic sides of medicine in a way that keeps me learning every single day. Teaching is not only about standing infront of a class, for me it is more about shaping how young doctors think about diagnosis, patient care, surgery skills, and even the ethics part that sometimes get lost when ur rushing through rounds. I handle a mix of lecturing, supervising in clinics, and being part of ward duties, which means I balance between being a teacher and a practicing clinician. At times it feels hectic but then again, that’s also the place where u grow. My role gives me a chance to work closely with students, interns and residents, guiding them not only in theory but also while managing real patients with complex medical needs. The exposure at the college and hospital has kept me updated with new protocols, evolving medical technology, and better treatment approaches that directly improve patient outcomes. I deal with a variety of cases, routine and emergency, and that makes me more confident in taking tough calls when needed. Academic research, case discussions, CME programs, all of these are regular part of my work and help me push beyond just routine teaching. Patient care still stays the center for me. I try to keep communication clear, making sure patients and families understand what’s happening, which is sometimes harder than doing a procedure. Over the years I feel that bridging that gap of understanding is as important as writing the right prescription. Working in Trichy also let me serve people from varied backgrounds, urban and rural, which teaches you humility and practical solutions when resources are not unlimited. I don’t think of myself as just an academic doctor or just a clinician, it’s a blend. Some days I feel like I am doing more paperwork than medicine, some days I feel proud seeing a student handle a case confidently. This balance is what keeps me steady and keeps reminding me why I joined this field.
