Area of specialization: | I am usually the go-to for almost all OPD concerns—like really, from fever n fatigue to weird stomach aches that just don’t go away, I deal with a bit of everything. I don’t limit myself to one fixed area ‘cause honestly, most patients don’t come in with textbook symptoms. One day it's a kid with throat pain, next day someone walks in thinkin it's just acidity but turns out to be something else.
I handle general complaints across systems—whether it’s blood pressure going up n down, sugar levels that won’t stay put, or infections that look mild but get tricky. It keeps me sharp tbh. I pay attention to the subtle things, like how long the symptoms are lingering, anything that doesn’t add up in history—those small details matter.
OPD work is not just prescriptions and quick exits for me. I try to listen properly—half the time people feel better just being heard right? I ask stuff others might skip… food habits, stress, even sleep cycles. Cuz that’s where the clues hide. |
Achievements: | I am not the kind of doctor who chases fancy titles or medals, tbh that stuff never mattered much to me. What I really count as an acheivement is seeing my patients come back smiling, telling me they're actually sleeping well or their sugar levels finally under control or whatever else was troubling them got sorted. I kno it sounds simple, but that's the whole point... helping them feel like themselves again, that’s what I hold on to. that's what stays. |
I am currently managing General Medicine OPD, and yeah, most of my days kinda revolve around diabetes, hypertension, and infections—especially the types that just won’t settle easily, even when they *look* routine at first. I’ve come to realize you can’t just go by textbook patterns… like, one patient’s fever might just be viral, but the next one? Could be hiding a full-blown sepsis brewing under the radar. You really gotta *listen* and not rush that part. Diabetes and hypertension are honestly the two things I deal with almost everyday, and they seem simple at first glance—like sugar high? give meds. BP? lower it. But no, it’s more layered. Sometimes the sugars crash outta nowhere even when patients swear they followed diet, and the BP spikes without any stress. I always try to dig deeper—stress factors, family hx, sleep issues, even meds they didn’t mention ‘cause they forgot it wasn’t “important.” Infectious diseases are another area where I end up spending a lot of focus. Whether it's a case of typhoid that doesn't respond to first line antiboitics, or some weird dengue complication showing up late, the goal is always to treat not just numbers on a report but the actual person sitting there. Everyday in OPD is different, and maybe that’s why I enjoy it even when it gets repetitive. It’s this constant pattern of ruling out, connecting dots, sometimes re-thinking your first impression. Some days I get through 40+ patients, and other days, just a few—but those few end up needing everything from IV hydration to full referral. I wouldn’t say I’ve figured out *everything* yet. But I do take my time with each case (when I can), double-check histories, tweak treatment if something feels off. You gotta keep learning and adapting. Not just to newer protocols, but to how people actually live with their illness outside the hospital setup. That's where the real challenge is.
