Dr. Jyoti Sehgal — Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Jyoti Sehgal is a Director at Medanta – The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 35 years of experience, and also practises at Medanta Mediclinic Cybercity in Gurugram.

Stroke dominates the clinical list to an unusual degree. Five of the sixteen entries name it: acute ischemic stroke management, hemorrhagic stroke management, post-stroke neurological care, stroke prevention and secondary care, and post-stroke neuro rehabilitation. Taken in order, those five follow one patient from the emergency door through the ward, into rehabilitation, and on to the prevention of a second event. IV thrombolysis, the time-critical treatment for acute ischemic stroke, is recorded among her procedures.

Around that core sit epilepsy management and seizure disorder management, Parkinson's disease and tremor disorders, neuropathic pain management, and neuro rehabilitation for brain injury and for movement disorders. EEG is the recorded investigation, with deep brain stimulation and migraine nerve block completing the procedure list. Rehabilitation appears three times in total, which is more than most neurology profiles record and suggests the recovery phase is treated as part of the work rather than as something handed on.

Her qualifications are MBBS, MD in general medicine and DNB in neurology as a Diplomate of the National Board.

Patient education is the other thread in the record. She gave several health talks on stroke awareness in 2009, including one on Red FM, and her profile notes innumerable health talks and CMEs in 2008. Stroke awareness matters more than awareness of most conditions, because the treatment she lists works only if the patient arrives quickly.
