I am someone who spent 6 months working at Malti Memorial Hospital and honestly that short time kinda taught me more than I expected. I mean, you read textbooks and pass exams but then real patients walk in—with pain, fear, weird symptoms—and suddenly you're not thinking about MCQs, you're thinking about what *actually* helps. I mostly assisted with dental cases during my time there—routine and complicated both. Cleanings, fillings, extractions, and root canals were part of the daily flow, but what stood out more was watching how senior docs dealt with people. Like, not just the treatment part, but how they explained stuff... gently but clearly, especially to elder folks or scared kids. I still remember fumbling over words trying to explain post-op care to one patient and realizing I gotta get better at *talking*, not just doing. There were days when OPD would get packed, and we had to work fast but still not mess anything up. Honestly made me appreciate efficiency without losing focus. Did I forget steps sometimes? yep. Did I double-glove by mistake or drop an instrument? also yes (embarrassing). But it made me sharper, more aware. Learned to prep trays better, assist quicker, clean instruments properly, and yeah—respect every little part of the process. Even the boring ones. Also got to observe a few minor oral surgeries and that kinda sparked my interest in more advanced stuff. I wasn’t always directly involved but just being there, watching, asking doubts later... those bits add up. Even now, some habits I picked up there—like being extra careful with case history or checking occlusion twice—stick with me. That hospital wasn’t fancy or high-tech, but it was busy. Real work, real learning. And while 6 months might not sound like a lot on paper, I honestly feel it shaped a chunk of how I approach patients now—more calm, more alert, and def a bit more humble.

Increased hair fall after moving to a new city is often caused by changes in water quality (especially hard water), increased stress from the transition, and potential shifts in diet and nutrition. Hair follicles can be sensitive to these changes, leading to a condition called telogen effluvium where more hairs enter the shedding phase. To help, use a water filter for hair, eat a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, manage stress through relaxation, and use gentle hair care products. If hair fall persists after a few months, consult a dermatologist to rule out other underlying conditions.

Relocating, especially to a new city like Mumbai, can definitely contribute to increased hair fall. Environmental changes, like differences in water quality, climate, and pollution levels, can have an impact on hair health. Mumbai’s monsoons can add to these factors by causing increased humidity, which might cause weaken hair shaft making it more prone to fall. Stress from relocating and adjusting to a new place can also trigger hair shedding due to a condition called telogen effluvium, where stress pushes hair follicles into a resting phase and leads to temporary hair loss. Regarding the use of minoxidil, while it is effective in promoting hair growth, it doesn’t completely shield against all kinds of hair fall, especially external and seasonal factors. It’s possible to experience seasonal hair shedding, particularly in response to environmental changes, even while using minoxidil. If you’ve noticed a sudden and significant increase in hair loss, it’s a good idea to visit a dermatologist. They can help assess any underlying issues such as nutritional deficiencies or scalp conditions that might need addressing. Meanwhile, make sure you’re taking steps to minimize hair damage—use mild shampoos, avoid excessive heat styling, and maintain a balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals that support hair health. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and if there are any additional concerns or worsening of the situation, seeking medical guidance sooner rather than later is crucial.
