Dr. Amit Jassal

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher with severe rheumatoid arthritis required complex spinal fusion surgery. Dr. Jassal developed a multimodal analgesia plan combining epidural anesthesia with targeted nerve blocks, allowing the patient to remain comfortable despite her chronic pain condition and reducing opioid requirements by 70%.

An 8-year-old street performer from a migrant family needed emergency appendectomy but had extreme needle phobia. Dr. Jassal used play therapy techniques and distraction methods before administering inhaled induction, creating a positive surgical experience that changed the child's perception of medical care.

A 45-year-old professional violinist undergoing hand surgery needed precise regional anesthesia that would preserve motor function for post-operative assessment. Dr. Jassal performed an ultrasound-guided supraclavicular block with reduced concentration local anesthetic, enabling intraoperative testing of tendon repairs.

A pregnant woman at 32 weeks gestation required emergency gallbladder surgery. Dr. Jassal coordinated with obstetricians to implement combined spinal-epidural anesthesia while maintaining continuous fetal monitoring, ensuring both maternal safety and fetal wellbeing throughout the procedure.

A 60-year-old former coal miner with severe COPD and oxygen dependence needed lung biopsy. Dr. Jassal implemented thoracic epidural with conscious sedation instead of general anesthesia, avoiding intubation and preserving the patient's limited respiratory function.
