The path of a physician is often lined with trials and responsibilities that few other professions demand. Navigating the delicate balance between hope and mortality is not for the faint of heart. Yet for those who dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to medicine, such trials can become a source of purpose and fulfillment.

Dr. Deepak Krishnamurthy, a respected figure in the world of cardiology, recently reflected on his long and impactful medical career in a heartfelt post on social media platform X. With a journey that began in 1993 when he enrolled in an MBBS program, he has now completed over three decades in healthcare. After earning his MD in internal medicine and subsequently acquiring a Diplomate of National Board (DNB) in cardiology, he has been actively practicing as a cardiologist since 2007.

Dr. Krishnamurthy shared that the medical field has gifted him with everything he once dreamed of—professional success, the confidence of his patients, personal satisfaction, and a steady career. However, the most cherished reward, according to him, is the admiration of his son, who aspires to enter the same demanding profession, fully aware of the sacrifices it involves. For Dr. Krishnamurthy, this desire from the next generation to continue the legacy of care and compassion stands as a deeply humbling affirmation of his life’s work.


Currently, Dr. Krishnamurthy serves as a lead consultant and senior interventional cardiologist at KIMS Hospital in Mahadevapura. Beyond his clinical duties, he has established a strong digital presence. With over 70,000 followers on X, he uses his platform to spread awareness about cardiovascular health and to demystify complex medical concepts for the general public. His ability to connect with people both inside and outside the hospital walls has made him a widely admired health communicator.

Through commitment, compassion, and resilience, Dr. Krishnamurthy exemplifies the highest values of the medical profession. His story stands as a reminder that while the road of healing is not without hardship, it is also filled with profound meaning, reward, and impact.
