Meet Dr. Gaurav Singh

Gut Instincts didn’t begin in a lecture hall or operating theatre. It began in the quiet discomfort of unanswered questions. Patients with textbook symptoms but no textbook findings. Scans that looked normal, yet suffering persisted. And a system that often dismissed what it couldn’t see.

As a surgeon, I was trained to act decisively. But over time, I saw how decisiveness without reflection could miss the mark. How technical skill could mask clinical blindness. How repetition could be mistaken for mastery.

Gut Instincts emerged as a response to that quiet crisis—the over-reliance on what’s visible. CT scans as oracles. Algorithms as gatekeepers. And patients told it’s “all in their head” when the data doesn’t cooperate.

This platform is my way of slowing down. Of asking better questions. Of exploring the grey zones of medicine—where clinical judgment, patient experience, and scientific humility intersect. It’s a space for myth-busting, yes—but also for storytelling. For teaching medicine as a living, breathing discipline. For challenging dogma with clarity, credibility, and quiet disruption.

Because diagnosis isn’t written in black or white ink. It’s shaded in probabilities, patterns, and human bias. And in medicine—as in life—not everything that matters shows up on a scan.
Sometimes, the most important truths begin with a gut instinct.
