Education: | Rangaraya Medical College |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am working in the field of General Medicine and my focus is on managing both acute illness and long term conditions that keep coming back in people’s life. My daily practice involves treating diabetes, hypertension, poisonings, fevers, jaundice, obesity, stroke, headache and many other medical issues that need careful evaluation. I like to spend time connecting symptoms to the bigger picture because one problem often hide another. For example a simple headache may link to stress or sometimes to high bp or stroke risk, and getting that distinction right is what makes care safe.
I do a lot of work around chronic disease management, making sure patients not only recieve proper medication but also learn small lifestyle adjustments that make real impact on health. Emergency cases like poisoning or acute strokes also demand fast clear decision making, and I feel those moments test both knowledge and calmness of a doctor. General medicine to me is about balance, using diagnostic tools, lab reports, clinical skills, and also common sense in right proportion.
I avoid using too much jargon when talking to patients. Instead I try explain their condition in plain words, sometimes even repeating or drawing a quick note, just to be sure they leave with clarity. My aim is not only cure but also confidence in the treatment plan. At times things don’t go smooth, treatment takes longer or complications come up, but I keep patient at the center, adjusting approach as needed. That flexibility is part of what keeps me learning everyday. |
Achievements: | I am grateful to have secured state 19th rank in the EAMCET entrance exam, which was an important starting point in my medical journey. Completing both my MBBS and MD in General Medicine with first division was another step that shaped my path, giving me solid foundation in theory and clinical practise. Each milestone felt like both pressure and push at the same time, but also kept me focused on consistency. These achievemnts remind me that growth in medicine is slow but steady. |
I am working as a General Physician and for me the role is much more than writing prescription or rushing from one case to another. My focus is on really understanding what a patient is going through, connecting all the dots, and then creating a plan that is practical for them and not just something that looks good on paper. Over the years I have handled both acute emergencies and long term chronic cases, and I found that accuracy in diagnosis is half of the treatment already. If you miss the root cause, you keep circling with symptoms, so I spend extra time in history taking and examination. Sometimes patients feel surprised when I ask so many small questions, but later they realise it help in getting to the correct path faster. I give equal weight to preventive care. For me it’s not only about treating a disease but also helping people avoid reaching that stage. Counseling on diet, lifestyle changes, regular checkups — these are not just side notes but main part of my work. I do like to keep things simple while explaining, no heavy jargons, just plain language so that every patient walks out knowing what exactly is happening with their body. That clarity reduces anxiety and makes them stick with the plan. During consultations I also try to balance the science with empathy. Some days are heavy with complicated conditions, multiple medications, or family concerns that weigh down the patient. In those times I try to keep the atmosphere calm, give them space to ask questions, sometimes repeat same explanation twice if needed. Clinical skill matters, yes, but so does patience. My area of practice cover a broad range — respiratory issues, cardiac concerns, gastrointestinal complaints, metabolic and endocrine disorders, musculoskeletal pain, minor surgical needs — all come under my daily work. Emergency care and stabilising patients is another part of my role where fast judgement really make difference. Using modern diagnostic tools and treatment protocols, I keep my approach updated but I never let machines replace human connection. At the heart of it, my commitment is always to deliver safe, evidence based, holistic care. A patient should feel they are not just a number in the system but a person who is being seen and heard. There are mistakes, system delays, sometimes outcomes that test our limits, but for me consistency and honesty with my patients are what define my work.
