Welcome to Our Substack: Doc Dialogue
Bridging Health and Knowledge
Dear Readers,
We are thrilled to welcome you to our corner of the internet, where medicine meets education, curiosity fuels discovery, and conversations ignite understanding. As two passionate physicians, we have embarked on a journey to create a digital space that transcends the conventional boundaries of medical discourse.
In this dynamic blog, our primary focus is patient education. We believe that informed patients are empowered patients, and by sharing our insights, experiences, and knowledge, we aim to equip you with the tools necessary to navigate your health journey with confidence and clarity.
But this blog is not merely a repository of medical facts and figures. We are storytellers at heart, and we are excited to present to you a tapestry of interesting cases that we've encountered in our clinical practice. From the intriguingly rare to the surprisingly common, each case offers a window into the complexities and nuances of the human body and the art of medicine.
Furthermore, we envision this blog as a platform for discussions—a space where ideas are exchanged, perspectives are challenged, and learning is a collaborative endeavor. Whether you're a fellow healthcare professional, a patient seeking knowledge, or an enthusiast of the medical sciences, we invite you to engage with us in meaningful dialogue as we explore the multifaceted landscape of health and wellness.
But our ambitions extend beyond the confines of traditional medicine. We are curious minds, eager to delve into the broader realms of science, technology, ethics, and beyond. Expect to find thought-provoking articles, reviews of cutting-edge research, and reflections on the intersection of health with society and culture.
In essence, this blog is a reflection of our shared commitment—to our patients, to our profession, and to the pursuit of knowledge. We invite you to join us on this journey of discovery, enlightenment, and perhaps even a touch of inspiration.
We (Dr. Sachin Shah & Dr. Mani Venkatesan) are Doc Dialogue!

As a true generalist at heart, I find joy in working closely with people from all walks of life. My approach revolves around proactive measures, emphasizing the importance of prevention and lifestyle interventions in fostering long-term wellness.
About Dr. Subramanian Venkatesan
I am a junior doctor and passionate scientist working in London, UK. I have completed a PhD in molecular biology within the field of cancer research at the Francis Crick Institute in London. Currently I am a postdoctoral research fellow doing bioinformatics at the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam. In “DocDialogue” I want to shed a light on hospital medicine (i.e. secondary and tertiary care).
Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of healthcare and discover practical tools to enhance our lives together.
