Academic degree: | Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery |
Area of specialization: | I am a general physician who kinda fell into this role through curiosity more than anything else. I didn’t wanna just “treat symptoms” and move on. I wanted to get why the same headache hits someone every week or why digestion’s off even if reports look normal. That’s the kinda thing I care about. Most days I deal with what ppl call common stuff—fever, cough, colds, acidity, joint aches, energy dips... you know, day-to-day things. But honestly, they’re never that simple. There’s always more under it.
What I like is piecing things together—like, okay the patient’s tired all the time. Is it food? Stress? Sleep? Or something they're not telling yet cause they think it’s not “big enough.” Those moments where someone goes “no one's asked me that before”—I take those seriously.
My approach? I mix clinical knowledge with real-time observation. Sometimes just watching how someone talks or sits gives away more than their test. I plan care with proper history, detailed notes and a lotta questions. Maybe too many questions lol. But better that than miss something.
Even when ppl come in with a sore throat, I’m thinking—is it seasonal or a pattern or lifestyle? I do believe general health isn't “basic” at all, it's the base of everything. And that’s why I like being right here—where everything kinda starts.
Yeah I forget stuff sometimes or mix forms (not meds dw) but I always double back, triple check before I finish a case. Doesn’t matter if it’s day one or patient number 18 that day. General medicine to me isn’t a fallback—it’s the frontline. And I’m right there, figuring it out. |
Achievements: | I am a BAMS graduate and honestly that’s kinda big deal for me. Like—those 5½ yrs of hardcore training weren’t just about mugging herbs n sutras. It gave me actual ground-level exp with patients, chronic illness cases, seasonal flus, ya know... all the regular stuff that isn’t really regular once you go deep into it.
During that time, I learnt how to approach the body as a whole thing—not just “treat this spot” and move on. Finished my internship at civil hospital, got my hands into everything from opd rush hours to managing inpatient rounds. Felt chaotic but also, like, real learning. I’m not into bragging, but honestly passing BAMS kinda shaped how I see healing—holistic, detailed, no shortcuts.
Some days were tough, lots of sleepless shifts, but they taught me how to trust my instincts and stay rooted in protocol. I still use that mix every single time I see a patient. |
I am someone who really got to feel the weight of actual practice during my one year internship at the civil hospital. It wasn’t just routine—it was a daily crash course in reality, where textbook cases didn’t always match what walked through the door. I spent long hours rotating through departments—OPD, emergency, minor OT, even labor rooms—and yeah, each one taught me something I couldn’t’ve learned sitting in lectures. There were days I saw over 40–50 patients in OPD, most with multilayered complaints—gastritis mixed with anxiety, or skin rashes that flared worse in stressy situations. I had to listen sharp, note quick, and still not miss anything. Like, once I forgot to double-check a sugar reading and the case shifted entirely, and that messed with me a bit. You learn from these things tho. I did. Civil hospital life means working with all types of ppl—those with chronic issues like joint pain, those rushing in with acute fevers, and sometimes those who just need someone to explain their condition calmly. I handled case sheets, helped in rounds, observed surgeries (some minor, some I couldn’t stop thinking about later tbh), managed herbal prescriptions under supervision, and did a lotta counseling, which is underrated honestly. One thing that stood out to me was how often symptoms were being treated but not the pattern behind them. Like repeat migraines? Usually it was more about sleep or stress than just pain. That shifted how I approached things. Made me dig deeper, not just ask "what hurts" but also "since when and what else changed?" The internship taught me to act quick but also pause when needed, speak confidently but also shut up and learn when I didn’t know something—trust me, those moments happened too. It gave me the ground reality of how Ayurvedic support can sit side-by-side with hospital protocols. Not everything went smooth—forgot a file once, mixed two doses (minor issue but still), and yeah, sometimes I was too cautious when I shoud've acted faster. But that year shaped me... more than anything else. And I carry all that messiness and learning into my practice now, everyday.
