Experience: | 12 years |
Education: | SVS Medical College |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am into emergency medicine, that’s the space where nothing goes by script and every patient walks in with a different kind of urgency. My work is about stabilising people fast, whether its trauma, cardiac arrest, stroke, poisoning, respiratory distress or any acute surgical or medical crisis. In those moments the training kicks in – airway management, resuscitation, rapid diagnosis, using BLS, ACLS, ATLS protocols, managing ventilators, IV access, blood gases, everything has to line up quick.
But its not only the speed, it’s also about clear thinking when everything around is in chaos. Many times families are panicked, patient is unstable, tests still pending but decisions cant wait. That’s where emergency medicine demand both clinical judgement and calmness. Over the years I learnt that even a small delay or confusion can alter outcome, so I keep focus on priorities – airway, breathing, circulation, then move step by step.
I also handle coordination with ICU, surgery, cardiology, ortho, because emergency is never stand alone, its always the entry point for bigger treatment. Part of my role is also preventive – guiding people after recovery about follow up, lifestyle, risk factors. Honestly it’s exhausting at times, but the reward is seeing a patient who walked in critical later go home safe.
Emergency medicine keep me on edge, yes, but also keeps me growing. Every shift is new, every case teach a lesson, and at the end its about saving time, saving life. |
Achievements: | I am proud that my career gave me chance to work in multi-speciality hospitals where every day was different. Moving across departments from medicine to surgery to critical care shaped my expereince and made me more confident in handling complex cases. That exposure help me understand how diferent teams connect in patient care. Over the years I learnt not only protocols but also practical ways to adapt them. For me this broad base is an achievemnt that keeps guiding my practice today. |
I am working in the medical field for about 12 years now and during this time I got the chance to move through very different setups – from busy OPDs where hundreds of people come daily with simple and complex complaints, to ICUs where every minute matters and decisions can be life changing. That mix of exposure kind of shaped how I see patient care, its not just about one specialty or one system but understanding the whole flow of treatment, from first consult till recovery or sometimes long term follow ups. In OPDs I learned patience and clarity, because people come with all sorts of doubts, some small and some very complicated, and they want answers they can trust. In ICU work, it was more about protocols, critical care support, ventilator management, monitoring, small details that make huge difference to survival. Over the years I got more confident switching between those two very different speeds of medicine. What I try to focus on now is balance – using evidence based clinical practice, keeping myself updated with guidelines, but also never ignoring the personal side, listening to what patient or their families are actually worried about. Sometimes it is not the disease itself but the fear of unknown that hurts more. Twelve years sound like a lot but honestly in medicine learning never ends. Each department taught me something. OPDs gave me the value of preventive care and simple counselling. ICU gave me skills in emergency response, quick decision making. Working across departments also trained me in teamwork, because no one can manage critical cases alone, and coordination between nurses, junior doctors, senior consultants is everything. Looking back, I think the biggest take away is adaptability. Healthcare throws challenges you dont expect, systems may be different, patients always unique, but if you stay flexible and keep the focus on patient’s wellbeing you find a way. And that’s what I try to do in every case, whether it’s small or life threatening.
