Area of specialization: | I am into Paediatrics and Neonatology — both, because honestly I couldn’t pick just one. I care for kids across all age groups but also spend a lotta time with newborns, including preemies and high-risk babies who need NICU-level attention. Managing things like respiratory distress, jaundice, feeding issues, even early infections — it’s delicate work, and timing everything right makes a huge differance.
On the paediatric side, I handle routine stuff like fevers, coughs, skin problems, nutrition gaps, developmental tracking — but also more complex cases like seizure disorders or failure to thrive. Some days it's vaccines and growth charts, other days you're trying to stabilise a wheezing child who can’t catch their breath. It shifts fast.
What I love is that no two kids are same, even with the same diagnosis. I try to listen more, explain slower, and give parents space to ask those endless “what-if” questions. They're not silly — they’re part of how healing happens too.
This field keeps you humble, no matter how long you're in it. |
Achievements: | I am not someone who chases awards, but if there’s one thing that genuinely matters to me — it’s my patients’ well-being. Might sound too simple, but for me it’s a real marker of what I do right (or wrong). Whether it’s seeing a sick baby feed again or a worried parent finally sleep after nights of stress, those little shifts are what I count as achievments. No trophy on shelf but when families trust me with their child’s care and return with a smile — that’s the win I hold on to. Always. |
I am working in Paediatrics and Neonatology for the last 3 years — and honestly, every single day’s different. Some days I’m managing a full-blown asthma flare in a hyperactive 5-year-old who still refuses to sit still for a neb, and on others, I’m watching a preemie baby slowly gain weight gram by gram in the NICU. Both sides of this field are intense, but in very different ways. In neonatology, the smallest things matter — literally. I deal with newborns needing respiratory support, feeding assistance, thermoregulation issues, infections — the whole bundle. You can’t afford to miss tiny changes. One bad ABG, or a slightly off feeding pattern, and it shifts everything. I’ve learnt to pick up on those silent alarms, the kind you only get better at spotting with hands-on NICU time. On the paediatrics side, I see the wide range — fevers that won’t go down, delayed milestones, weird rashes parents googled 3 wrong things about, nutrition issues, coughs that sound scarier than they are. But also the regular checkups, vaccinations, and anxious first-time parents asking if their baby’s crying “too much or too little??” I try to balance clinical clarity with a little calm — for both the kid and the parent. What I love about this field is that you treat growing bodies — which means the goal isn’t just to “fix” a problem but to help the child reach their healthiest version long-term. It’s not always linear, and sometimes there’s setbacks. But when that NICU baby goes home without a tube, or the toddler you’ve seen for a year finally speaks their first sentence, that’s the stuff that stays with you. I work closely with nurses, nutritionists, and sometimes speech or occupational therapists too — especially in complex or high-risk cases. It’s always a team effort. But I stay closely involved, I don’t check out once the prescription’s written. Kids deserve continuity. Parents need that too. Three years in, and there’s still more to learn — but I’m here, showing up, one small patient at a time.
