About Me

Hi, my name is Aditya Samitinjay. I'm 29, from Hyderabad, India. I'm a medical doctor with an M.D. in General Internal Medicine. I'm currently working as a Senior Resident, in Government General and Chest Hospital, Erragada, Hyderabad. I'm now working as an Assistant Professor in Department of General Medicine, SVS Medical College & Hospital, Mahabubnagar, Telangana.

I consider myself privileged and honored that 'medicine' picked me to provide evidence-based health care. I have a committed passion for teaching and the joy of seeing excitement and curiosity on the faces of young students is very gratifying. I'm also a strong proponent of patient education and I believe it is our duty to simplify and educate our patients on their health problems.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy writing up patient narratives and actively take part in online discussions on cases presented elsewhere. I enjoy reading medical literature on the web too. I'm also innovative and have developed quite inventive ways of detecting clinical findings and demonstrating clinical signs. You can find some of these in the 'Formal Evidence' page link at the top.

I have also had the privilege of being the chief editor of a pocket book titled - 'Handbook in Emergency Medicine by Dr. S.K. Biswas'. I was also given the opportunity to contribute (book chapter) to 'Humanities in Medical Education 2nd Edition by Tejinder Singh'. You can read my contributions here.

I have also been lucky enough to make a few publications during my residency and now. Please find the links to these below - 

1. Traumatic subdural haematoma: integrating case-based clinical judgement with guidelines (See Blogged Comment on our article here)
   
2. Nontubercular mycobacterial cough
3. Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia due to immunodeficiency 
   
4. Case Records in Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences: High-Altitude Breathlessness Refractory to Descent.
5. Antler Sign Of Pulmonary Venous Hypertension
6. Profile of Electrocardiographic Changes in Scorpion Envenomation
7. Integrated case-based clinical approach in understanding pathways, complexities, pitfalls and challenges in neurodegenerative disorders

Outside of Medicine, I enjoy a good dose of solitude, long walks, meaningful and neck-deep conversations with friends and family. I also enjoy long drives and traveling. I have been lucky enough to tour 5 countries 8 countries (Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Iceland, Seychelles, UAE, Singapore & India extensively!). I have a good bunch of friends and I trust they will be my lifelong pals. I am a staunch atheist and an opponent of 'crony capitalism'.

Lastly, I'm a lifelong Liverpool Football Club fan. I'm quietly confident we can win the quadruple this season in Paris (we couldn't! but up the mighty reds anyway!) I'm also a novice guitar player and I make paltry attempts to play country and blues. It is my sincere dream to play 'Where the Streets Have No Name by U2' one day. Hopefully!
