Dr. Sumitava Samanta

A 72-year-old retired schoolteacher from a lower-income background arrived with progressive memory loss and confusion. Dr. Samanta identified early-stage Alzheimer's through cognitive assessments and PET scans. Initiated on cholinesterase inhibitors and cognitive therapy, the patient's decline slowed significantly, allowing her to maintain independence with family support for 18+ months.

An 8-year-old boy from an affluent family was brought in after experiencing his first seizure during school. Dr. Samanta diagnosed childhood absence epilepsy through EEG monitoring. Treatment with ethosuximide completely controlled seizures within weeks, and the child returned to normal school activities with no further episodes over 2 years of follow-up.

A 45-year-old construction worker presented with severe, persistent headaches and recent personality changes. Dr. Samanta discovered a meningioma through contrast MRI. Surgical resection was successful, and the patient made a full neurological recovery within 6 months, returning to modified work duties with regular monitoring.

A 33-year-old pregnant woman in her third trimester developed sudden weakness on her right side. Dr. Samanta diagnosed a pregnancy-related ischemic stroke. Managed with careful anticoagulation therapy and multidisciplinary care, she delivered a healthy baby and regained nearly complete motor function through intensive rehabilitation.

A 28-year-old software engineer from a middle-class family presented with sudden-onset visual disturbances and fatigue. Dr. Samanta diagnosed multiple sclerosis after comprehensive MRI scans. Treatment involved immunomodulatory therapy combined with lifestyle modifications. The patient showed remarkable improvement within 3 months, returning to work with adjusted responsibilities.
