Academic degree: | None |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly handling OPD, IPD, emergency & ICU—and yeah, they all come with their own kind of chaos. In OPDs you get to talk, ask, feel out the case... sometimes just listening clears half the diagnosis. But then shift to emergency, and it's all action—zero time to rethink, you *have* to decide right then. I've had to manage both routine stuff like fever, infections, follow-up wounds etc and those high-stress moments when vitals crash and things get unpredictable real fast.
ICU is different though. It’s quiet on the surface but a lot going on—numbers, tubes, reports changing by the hour. You start noticing patterns that you didn’t before, like small lab shifts that mean something bigger is coming. Same in IPD—you see how the case evolves, which antibiotics actually working, when to change the line of treatment.
Each space—OPD, emergency, ICU, ward—teaches you different things. Some days you just keep running. Others, you're stuck thinking about one case for hours. That mix is what I like most. |
Achievements: | I am not sure what counts as an achievement exactly, but yeah—things are going good mostly. I’ve handled OPD rush hours without skipping a beat (okay maybe skipped lunch lol), dealt with ICU nights where every single hour felt like a warzone, and managed tough shifts during emergencies where time was literally racing. Still learning tons. Every day throws some new curveball and somehow I’m still here standing... maybe that's the acheivement in itself!! |
I am working currently at Marudhar Hospital, Jaipur and before that I was with Shalby Hospital from Aug 2023 till 2025 as RMO—and honestly, that shift taught me a lot. At Shalby, I got to deal with all kinds of cases, some straightforward, others messy... trauma, pre-op, post-op, emergency stuff where you had no time to overthink, just act. That kind of pressure, day in day out, makes you either break or sharpen, and I’d like to think I leaned into the second. The learning curve was steep but it grounded me in real clinical decision-making, not just protocol-based textbook stuff. Now at Marudhar, it’s more of a different vibe—smaller teams, more direct responsibility. Here I feel more involved in both patient care *and* the bigger picture, like continuity between departments, follow-up care, seeing outcomes in longer loops. It’s less about just stabilizing and more about understanding the full arc of the patient journey. Not gonna lie, there’s days I miss the crazy pace of Shalby... but there’s something satisfying in the slower, layered experience too. Both roles helped me figure out what kind of doctor I’m trying to be—not just someone ticking off symptoms but someone actually noticing what’s missing, even in what’s said casually by patients. I’m still learning, still figuring things out, but yeah—these two hospitals shaped a big chunk of that path.
