Dr. Shweta Bansal

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family with severe asthma was brought in during an acute exacerbation triggered by pollen. Dr. Bansal implemented allergen immunotherapy alongside a customized inhaler regimen. The family transformed their home environment, removing carpets and installing air purifiers, resulting in symptom-free school attendance within three months.

A 45-year-old construction worker with limited income developed occupational lung disease from years of silica dust exposure. Dr. Bansal arranged for workplace modifications through his employer and prescribed corticosteroids. The patient's union helped cover medication costs, leading to improved breathing capacity within eight weeks despite continued work.

A 28-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester was admitted with respiratory distress, diagnosed with amniotic fluid embolism. Dr. Bansal coordinated with obstetricians for emergency care, managing ARDS with mechanical ventilation. Both mother and newborn survived after a month-long hospital stay, with gradual pulmonary recovery over six months.

A 60-year-old former smoker from a middle-class background presented with hoarseness and weight loss, revealing laryngeal cancer with lung metastases. Dr. Bansal collaborated with oncologists for combined chemotherapy and radiation. The patient's daughter became primary caregiver, supporting him through a two-year journey to remission with residual mild dyspnea.

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a rural village presented with persistent dry cough and fatigue, initially misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Dr. Bansal identified it as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis through HRCT. With no family support, the patient learned to self-manage oxygen therapy and participated in a pulmonary rehabilitation program, showing stabilized lung function over six months.
