Education: | AIIMS Raipur |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am a pediatrician and my work stretch from newborn babies to adolescents, which mean no two days are same. Sometimes I see simple opd cases like cough, cold, fevers, vaccination or just growth chart checks, and then suddenly I am in ICU handling a critical neonate on ventilator where each min feels important. That balance of routine and emergency is what keep me sharp and also humble.
In my opd practice I manage both acute and chronic illnesses, guide parents on nutrition, milestones, vaccination schedules, and preventive health. When kids need hospitalization, I take care of them in wards or ICUs, monitoring closely and making timely interventions. I am trained to perform procedures like intubation, lumbar puncture, catheter insertion which come up often in pediatric and neonatal critical care.
What I focus most on is family centered care. Parents are often anxious and kids scared, so I try to simplify treatment plan, answer questions in easy language, and make sure the child feel safe. Even small things like smiling or talking gently help build trust.
Pediatrics can be tough, kids dont always explain their symptoms and parents worry a lot, but that’s also the reason I feel it’s meaningful. My aim is always to give safe, evidence based and compassionate care, whether it’s a minor illness or long term condition. I keep learning, updating with pediatric guidelines, cause medicine change fast and children deserve the best. |
Achievements: | I am proud to have completed and published an article on outcomes of pediatric cardiac surgery at a tertiary care centre. That work gave me a real chance to mix my clinical practise with research, pulling data, analysing survival rates, recovery trends and long term follow up. It wasnt easy, but it showed me how much strong evidence can shape better patient care. This project also strengthen my interest in academic writing and in sharing knowldge with the larger medical comunity. |
I am working in pediatrics for last 2 yrs and in that time I have moved from being a junior resident to also practising as a pediatrician, which gave me a mix of experiences you don’t really prepare for in books. Some days are quiet, just growth monitoring, vaccination schedules, talking parents through nutrition doubts, but then you get thrown into nights with emergency admissions where every small call feel heavy. That mix of preventive care and acute management sort of shape how I look at kids health. During residency I was incharge of both OPD and IPD cases, handling routine fevers and infections like pneumonia, bronchiolitis or gastroenteritis, and also seeing chronic conditions where follow up and family support matter more than just one prescription. I worked in NICU and PICU too, where critically ill babies needed ventilation, close monitoring and constant adjustment of care. Doing procedures like intubation, lumbar puncture, umbilical cath insertion, even exchange transfusions, was a routine part of my duty… though no case ever felt routine when it’s such tiny fragile life in front of you. Apart from clinical work I stayed active in academics, bedside discussions, case presentations, guiding juniors when possible. Being in multi disciplinary rounds with pediatric cardiology, neurology, neonatology etc taught me how much collaborative medicine changes outcomes. And through all of it, I try to keep families involved, breaking down treatment plans in simple words, making sure they feel part of decisions. These 2 yrs taught me not only science but also that softer side of pediatrics—how to calm an anxious parent, how to make a child smile in between IV lines, how to carry on even when outcomes are uncertain. It’s not always neat or predictable, but in that mess I learnt most of what makes me the doctor I am. I keep aiming to deliver evidence based care while staying empathetic, accessible and grounded, because kids deserve both science and kindness at the same time.
