I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

This requires in person consultation. Requires proper counselling.

Taking abortion pills, also known as medical abortion, can be a safe option within the first trimester of pregnancy, which includes your first month. Typically, this involves a two-step process using medications like mifepristone and misoprostol. However, it’s critical to consult a healthcare professional before proceeding. These medications have specific protocols for use, and it’s important to have professional guidance to ensure your safety and address any potential complications. Dosage and timing are crucial, and in some cases, medical conditions or the specifics of your pregnancy may impact their suitability. Additionally, healthcare providers can help you understand what to expect during the process, such as cramping and bleeding, which are normal parts of the process but require monitoring.

Even if you’re unable to undergo a scan or ultrasound, it’s crucial to confirm that the pregnancy is not ectopic (outside the womb), as abortion pills are not effective or safe in such cases. Ectopic pregnancies can be life-threatening if not treated properly, so understanding your options is imperative. If seeing a healthcare professional in person is not feasible, consider virtual consultations, where available, to discuss the risks and benefits appropriate for your situation.

Being aware of red flags like excessive bleeding or severe pain that require immediate medical attention is another important factor. Throughout the process, access to medical support is advised, particularly soon after to ensure the pills have worked effectively and to track any adverse effects. Pay attention to your body’s signals and ensure that you have emergency contact options if anything feels out of the ordinary. Remember, your health and safety come first, so professional guidance should be your first step.
