Dr. Abha Sood
Experience: | 25 years |
Education: | GGSMC Faridkot |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working in obstetrics and gynaecology but also have solid hands-on experience in accident & emergency care—which honestly teaches you things textbooks never do. In OBGYN, I’m comfortable managing everything from antenatal checkups to deliveries, both normal and complicated ones. I handle postnatal care, menstrual issues, PCOS, infertility, even things like fibroids n pelvic pain which often get missed till they get worse.
Emergency settings are totally different tho—fast, unpredictable, sometimes chaotic. But I actually like that kind of pressure. I’ve dealt with trauma cases, acute bleeds, sudden collapses, unexpected complications during labor too. Being able to switch gears quickly, figure out what’s urgent and what’s not—that’s something I’ve got better at over time.
Not every shift goes perfect. Some days you feel like you didn’t do enuf. But when patients walk out safe, or even just feeling heard—that’s what stays with you. |
Achievements: | I am honestly just proud that I became a doctor—that’s my biggest achievement if I had to name one. Not in some grand way, but just knowing I get to do work that actually matters to someone. That I studied, made it through the chaos of exams, long shifts, doubts, late-night calls n still chose to show up again next day... to serve. Doesn’t matter if it's a small fever or something serious—just being able to help, to explain things, to ease a patient’s fear a bit... that’s the part I care about most. |
I am MBBS, with a post grad diploma in obstetrics & gynaecology (PGDGO), and I’ve also cleared MRCOG Part 1 which honestly was no small thing—anyone who's tried that exam knows what I mean. I also hold GMC registration in the UK, which opened up a whole other layer of understanding in terms of global standards and clinical protocols. But credentials aside, what matters more to me is how that training actually shapes patient care. Obstetrics and gynecology kinda found me more than I chose it, maybe? But once I got into it, there wasn’t really a plan B. The complexity, the fast pace, and the deep emotional weight of every case... it keeps you grounded. Whether it’s antenatal care, labour management, postnatal recovery, irregular cycles, PCOS, infertility stuff, or even just creating a safe space for someone to ask uncomfortable questions—this field demands that you *show up*. Every single day. I’m particularly drawn to balancing clinical skills with clear communication. I’ve worked in systems that are both structured (UK style) and a bit chaotic (not naming places), and what always makes the difference is how you connect with the patient—not just how much you “know”. I try not to hide behind terms, even when I’m tired or short on time. If someone doesn't understand what’s going on with their own body, then the treatment is half-lost already. Right now, I’m focusing more on building a space where evidence-based medicine meets human understanding... sounds lofty but really, it’s about slowing down just enough to treat people like people. The degrees, exams, protocols—they matter, but only if they translate into something real in the consultation room. That's what I remind myself. Every time I walk in.
