In the OT, we spend hours standing, stitching, rebuilding. It’s exhausting.
But then comes the moment — a child’s future forever changed, a parent’s relief shining through tears. 💙
That’s why Pediatric Urology is worth every hour.

✨ “Boardroom mein poocha jaata hai: Is paediatric surgery profitable?
Hospital ke andar jawab hota hai: Is saving a child’s future ever about profit? 💙

Har chhota patient, har bacha jiske liye hum operate karte hain, ek pura future lekar aata hai. Yeh margins ki baat nahi hai, yeh futures secured ki baat hai. 🌍👶

In the world of healthcare, mental health is often spoken about as if it’s separate. But in truth, it’s woven into everything we do.

My journey in mental health has been influenced by mentors, patients, peers, and personal experiences. Each reminded me that resilience, empathy, and self-care are as critical as medical expertise.

💡 Who has influenced your perspective on mental health?

The happiest surgeons I know?
They’re not racing anyone.
They’ve found joy in being aligned—with their craft, their values, and their lives outside the OR.
Surgery is not just about speed. It’s about meaning.

Who said paediatric surgery is going to be easy?

Surgery is demanding, but paediatric surgery—and its subspecialty like paediatric urology—takes it to another level. Years of hard work, long hospital hours, on-call nights, and practicing until your hands are steady for the smallest patients. The learning curve is steep, and success doesn’t come overnight.

But ask yourself: Is it worth it? My answe: a resounding yes!
The satisfaction of taking a child into the OR and giving them a healthier life, using your skills to fix issues at their core, and being entrusted with such precious lives—it’s indescribable.

That said, passion is key. Don’t pick it as a backup; it’ll break you without true drive. It tests resilience, patience, and emotional fortitude.
If passionate, push through the tough training—you’ll fall in love with it. The impact on kids’ lives makes every sacrifice worthwhile.

Choose wisely; passion carries you through. What do you think—worth the grind? Share your thoughts!

💙 Love and worry share the same room
🌟 Hope shines even in despair

👨‍⚕️⚕️💡
Some surgeons know how to operate.
Some scientists know how to innovate.
But the real breakthroughs come from those who can do both.

Patients benefit most when their surgeon is also a scientist — blending hands-on skill with evidence-driven insight.

In modern healthcare, the most transformative outcomes for patients often come from surgeons who balance two worlds: the operating room and the research lab. The operating room teaches precision, decision-making under pressure, and the technical mastery needed to save lives. The lab, on the other ha...

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Doctors are healers, not fighters.
Yet with self-defence training now entering medical curricula, it’s time we ask:
➡️ Why do hospitals need to prepare for violence?
➡️ And how can society restore trust in those who save lives?
