My grandfather has been my greatest source of inspiration, who rendered his services as a family physician till the age of 95. He used to recount the excitement of using Penicillin for the first time in India back in 1944 for a child afflicted with pneumonia which worked like a miracle.
I incorporate this enthusiasm for medicine. I have been particularly fascinated with the subject of Immunology during my medical school as it seems to have a role in most of the medical problems that are encountered on daily basis. In addition to having a direct role in management of patients with Immune mediated inflammatory diseases, allergic inflammation and organ specific auto-immunity; advances in Immunology are having a direct role in translational …show more content…
This has allowed me to adapt quickly to different playing fields and to grasp and relate well to underlying socio-economic and cultural factors influencing the health of the patient. I like working with doctors from different cultures and varying thought processes, coming from different pools of knowledge, which eventually leads to better patient care and …show more content…
Of course, it something anyone would like who like analysis, Of course, it is fascinating due to multi-system involvement.. Of course, it involves all clinical aspects of medicine. In the end it comes down to the feeling one has when you are seeing a patient and I feel I am in the right place. Rheumatology combines this love of Immunology and Internal Medicine into one.
In its practice is the true application of clinical and laboratory science of medicine.
Immunology has applications not only in researching the etiopathogenesis of diseases of many a specialties of medicine but also, as we see now, in therapy especially in the era of biologics/personalised therapy/cancer therapy and what is called precision medicine. I've always been intrigued by the way environmental triggers interact with the genetics and immune repertoire of an individual to finally produce health or disease. My dream would be to contribute something new in this
