A freelance anaesthetist, Dr. Pradeep loves the challenges of his field.

Dr. Pradeep Gupta is a freelance Anaesthetist in Jaipur.

Dr. Pradeep was born and brought up in Hindaun City, Karauli. He had a normal childhood and was good in his studies. He did not take much part in extracurricular activities and was a topper in academics. There was no one in his family from the field of medicine, and it was a deep desire of his parents that he become a doctor.

He did his senior secondary education from Hindaun City itself and took the PMT examination to join the medical field. He took admission to SMS Medical College in 1999, and says that his friends from his college days are still connected to him. After completing his graduation in 2005, he joined RNT Medical College in 2007 to pursue his MD-Anaesthesia and passed out in 2010. After that, he worked from 2010 to 2016 at Fortis Hospital, for the first three years as a senior resident and then as an attending consultant.

Dr. Pradeep shares that in 2016, he decided to do something of his own and left his job to become a freelance anaesthetist. He says that he had decided to work freelance from his PG days itself. However, to gain experience in the field, he joined Fortis and worked in different branches like Neuro, Ortho and general anaesthesia. He loves the challenge of being a freelancer, as one has to work their best with the limited resources available.

Talking about his challenges, Dr. Pradeep says that he hails from a financially stable family and did not see any challenges on that front. However, Anaesthesia being a very challenging field, it brought to him complex cases and patients. He has also been a part of long neurosurgeries lasting many hours and has worked diligently to finish cases at the earliest.

Sharing about his achievements, Dr. Pradeep says that he has two publications in international journals on the topics of Neostigmine Induced Pulmonary Edema and Negative-Pressure Pulmonary Edema. While at Fortis, he also taught Diplomate of National Board (DNB) students, but he has been away from teaching now for the past seven years.

Talking about his role models, he says that Dr. Pradeep Garg, a well-known cardiologist, is his lifelong role model. It was he who motivated him to come into this field. Dr. Pradeep follows his teachings even today and works with full dedication and ethics.

Whenever Dr. Pradeep feels stressed, he visits some of his close friends and shares his problems with them. He feels that whether they give a solution or not is not important, but that they listen to him, makes all the difference. He feels that it is very important to have good friends in life.

Revealing his life mantra, he says that whatever we do in life, we should do it with dedication and honesty. He also feels that we should take responsibility for all our decisions so that we don't regret them later in life.

Advising the aspirants to the field, he says that it is a very challenging field, and a lot of patience and energy are required to excel in this field.

When free, he likes to play with his kids and has a table tennis table installed in his home. He also likes watching movies and has a small home theatre in which he enjoys watching movies with his family.
