Dr. Manmitha Reddy
Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | Medicity Institute of Medical Sciences |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am really drawn to that part of medicine where you don’t just react—you actually *catch* things before they spiral. Early diagnosis, evidence-based thinking, and honestly, just listening properly... that's kinda the core of how I work. Respiratory cases are rarely black and white. One cough could mean allergy, another one might point to something you don’t see till you test right. My work usually mixes clinical judgment with tools—pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopies, sometimes ICU-level respiratory support if things go south.
I trained hard in all that stuff, yeah, but training’s just part of it. You only really *learn* when you're in the middle of a case that doesn’t match any page you read. That’s where skills like advanced airway managemnt or knowing when to go invasive—like doing a broncho—actually matter. I do lean toward full-spectrum care, not just writing a prescription and moving on. I like to draw out the whole picture: what’s going on, what we can do, how long it’ll take, and how the patient’s lifestyle feeds into it all.
No two lungs are same. That’s the weirdly fun part. |
Achievements: | I am kinda into digging deeper into stuff most people skip—research has always felt like my side track while doing clinicals. I’ve published in a few International journals, not super high-profile ones or anything, but solid enough to push my thoughts out there. A couple papers got accepted after some back-n-forth edits that nearly drove me mad. I’ve also presented posters at conferences, some local some national. That back-and-forth with reviewers... not fun, but weirdly worth it. |
I am a Pulmonologist, finished my MD in Respiratory Medicine from Govt Medical College, Vijayawada—not too long ago actually, but every single day since then has felt like an extension of that training. Long hours, high-pressure cases, constant reading... that part doesn’t really stop. I deal mostly with breathing problems in all forms—whether it’s someone gasping from a sudden asthma attack, or a slow-deteriorating COPD patient who’s been misdiagnosed for months. And yeah, sleep-disordered breathing too, which lots of people don’t even realize they have until it messes up everything else. My work kinda circles around understanding lungs in all their unpredictable patterns. Some days it’s all about managing interstitial lung disease and trying to get clarity on CT scans that just don’t tell the full story. Other times, I’m handling full-blown pulmonary infections—tuberculosis cases are still common, and they aren’t always textbook straightforward. Add allergies, post-COVID complications, patients with unexplained shortness of breath... it’s a wide net. Each one’s different. Each one demands a different line of thinking, and honestly that's what keeps it interesting (and exhausting, tbh). I don’t really believe in just handing out prescriptions. I spend time explaing why something is happening, what the treatment plan will look like, and—most important—what the patient has to do outside of meds. Respiratory health’s not just about pills... it’s about lifestyle, enviromental triggers, even sleep posture sometimes. I’m very particular about follow-ups too, esp in asthma and COPD. Adjustments need time. And yeah—sometimes even after years of training, you still sit at the end of a day scratching your head over a puzzling lung shadow or a random cough that doesn’t go away. That’s fine, that’s part of it. Keeps you grounded. Keeps you learning.
