Dr. Shibu Raj P S
Experience: | 9 years |
Education: | Dr SM CSI medical college |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with patients who have complicated health issues—things that aren’t always just one diagnosis, you know? Like, someone walks in for high blood pressure and turns out they’ve also got uncontrolled diabetes and maybe early kidney changes. I deal with a lot of those mixed cases—diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension, dyslipidemia, infections that don’t go away easily, and chronic diseases that just kinda sit there for years unless you manage them smartly.
What I do isn't just about prescriptions, it's about connecting dots. Sometimes a sugar level spike isn’t just about the food—they’ve missed sleep or their thyroid meds aren’t working right or something else just threw it off. I try to look at everything together before making a plan.
A lot of what I focus on also involves getting people to understand *why* they need to stay consistent with meds or lifestyle stuff, which honestly isn’t easy. I mean, even educated patients get tired of hearing "take your meds daily". Who wouldn’t? But long-term diseases need long-term trust—between the doctor and the patient.
I kinda stick to that. |
Achievements: | I am lucky to have worked as an Associate Professor, which gave me a chance to balance both clinical practice and teaching young doctors. Being in that role meant handling patient care while also guiding students and residents through complex medical topics, case discussions and bedside learning. Sharing experiance in real time and watching them grow into confident practitioners was something that added depth to my own understanding too, not just theory but in day to day medicine. |
I am someone who’s been sitting across from patients for over two decades now — doesn’t feel that long honestly, but yeah, twenty-plus years dealing with everything from the routine checkups to those really tricky geriatric cases that don’t always follow the textbook pattern. It’s weird how much you end up learning from the people you treat. Mostly, I work with general patients and older adults. Geriatrics needs a slower, more attentive approach I feel. Like, you can’t just look at a lab report and go “okay this is it” — you have to listen a bit more, ask twice maybe, sometimes even wait and watch before deciding anything. That part of the work actually makes me think harder, which I kind of like... even though yeah, it can get mentally draining sometimes. General medicine’s a different kind of grind. You see all kinds — fever, gut issues, infections, lifestyle-related things. Some people come in with one thing and leave with three prescriptions, others just need reassurance and that’s that. I do try to keep my language simple when explaining things, don’t want anyone nodding and not actually getting what I mean y'know? Over time you start noticing patterns — like how some chronic conditions are totally manageable if caught early but we wait too long, or how many elder patients don’t complain until it’s really bad. I try to dig in gently during consultations, not just symptom-based, but more like... full picture care. Doesn’t always go smoothly — missed a couple of early signs in the past, not proud of that, but you learn and get better. Anyway, this field keeps you on your toes. Guidelines change, new meds come in, old ones stop working — there’s always something to read up on. And honestly, the trust patients place in me? That still matters the most. Even after 20+ years.
