About Rajni Gautam

When the COVID period was in effect, everyone was afraid of going to medical facilities and having face-to-face visits with doctors during lockdown periods. i started getting a lot of calls from friends and relatives asking her for a second opinion as a medical student. i started looking into lab reports and symptoms and assisted them in going to the right doctor and helping them ask relevant questions to their doctors so that they don't miss anything. i started seeing her family and friends online in India and helped them understand their lab results and diagnosis by doctors. i also helped them prepare for their doctors visit and helped them prepare a list of medical emergency questions they should ask their doctors.
