About Asst. Prof. Dr. Md. Tariqul Islam

Trains arriving at the Narayangonj station bring a rush of noise and movement. A retired station master might sit on his porch watching the crowds pass by. He remembers the exact schedule of every locomotive. Then one afternoon he forgets the name of his eldest grandson. His hands begin to tremble while holding his afternoon tea. Relatives brush this off as normal aging. Brain diseases sneak into a household without making a sound. Asst Prof Dr Md Tariqul Islam steps into these confusing family moments. He holds the rank of Assistant Professor. His medical journey rests on a very strong base. He earned his MBBS from Dhaka. He joined the public health sector by clearing the BCS exams. He then dedicated his entire focus to the human nervous system by completing an MD in Neurology. You will find him consulting patients at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. The frightened family brings the old man to the chamber. Dr Tariqul Islam brings a very calm energy to the room. Government hospital experience teaches a physician how to spot subtle nerve damage quickly. He asks the grandfather to draw a clock on a piece of paper. He checks the reflexes in the knees. He knows that memory loss and shaking hands point to specific brain cell deterioration. He orders an MRI to see the exact physical state of the brain. Teaching medical students gives an Assistant Professor a very clear communication style. He grabs a blank notepad and draws a simple sketch of the brain. He explains how certain chemical signals are failing to reach the muscles. He writes down a clear medication plan to slow down the memory loss. He tells the family exactly how to make the house safer for a dizzy elder. He speaks in a warm tone that removes the heavy fear of dementia. Dragging a confused and shaking elder to the capital city is a terrible idea. The loud horns on the Dhaka highway make the anxiety completely unbearable. Having a government trained neurology specialist right in the neighborhood is a massive blessing. The family can get a proper diagnosis locally. The grandfather can rest in his own familiar room while adjusting to his new pills. Follow up visits become a simple rickshaw ride instead of a whole day event. A steady mind allows a grandfather to share his favorite stories for a few more years.
