Dr. Prasannajeet Singh Shekhawat
Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | International Higher School of Medicine |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am an MBBS doctor who's moved through quite a few departments before settling into general medicine for now. Honestly didn’t plan it this way, but each rotation—whether it was pediatrics, surgery, or even short stint in ortho—kinda added to how I see cases today. And yeah, working across diff setups made me realise how much of general practice is not about “big diagnoses” but about really seeing the basics clearly.
Right now, I’m in general medicine and it fits. Like, I get to deal with everything from fever, cold, cough to more tangled cases with mixed symptoms—where maybe you rule out dengue, but don’t stop there just coz labs are clean. I trust clinical signs more than jumping straight to scans unless really needed.
One thing I low-key enjoy is decoding symptoms that don’t shout loud—mild fatigue, gut stuff, weird headaches... things that get missed in rush consults. That’s where my mix of rotations help. Patients may come in thinking “just BP,” but there’s often more underneath and I try not to miss that.
Still learning tons tbh but trying to build my own approach slowly—listen first, talk less, treat smarter. |
Achievements: | I am someone who once didn’t even expect to place but somehow ended up securing 2nd rank at the Therapy Olympiad—it was tough like really, crazy tough. Every round pushed me harder than i thought and I still remmeber that last case question that nearly threw me off. But I held on!! Managed to clinch a gold medal too which yeah, was kinda surreal. It wasn’t just luck tho… lot of late nights and revision scribbles behind that one. Definitely one of the moments that still stick with me. |
I am a 2023 batch passout and working as a general physician right now, based in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan. Still kinda new in the bigger picture maybe, but honestly—every single day in this line teaches you more than textbooks ever could. I’ve had the chance to work under some pretty respected doctors during and after my graduation, not just for the clinical part but also to see how they handle people, real people, in pain, in panic, and sometimes just confused about their own health. General medicine covers a lot, right? Like from the smallest complaints to those random, vague symptoms that no one really understands at first—those are kinda my zone now. I don’t really rush to label things, I try to spend time actually listening. Feels weird to say it but ya, I do take that part seriously. Some patients just need someone to hear the whole story instead of jumping to prescription pads after 30 seconds. Right now, my practice includes everything from managing common infections, blood pressure issues, sugar problems to more layered cases where symptoms overlap and you gotta just... piece things together. It's not glamorous all the time, but it's real. I’ve handled a bunch of seasonal disease waves too, like dengue surges and viral fevers that hit rural belts hard—Hanumangarh doesn’t get much spotlight but there’s plenty happening out here. Also, I do rely on basics—thorough history, solid clinical exam and yeah when needed, investigations. But not over-prescribing things just cz they’re there. One thing I picked up from the senior consultants I worked with—they used to say “don’t chase labs, chase the patient’s story”... stuck with me till now. Anyway, still learning every single day tbh. But I like that. Keeps me grounded and kind of obsessed with trying to get better.
