Asst. Prof. Dr. Tamanna Nawshin

Chalk dust settles on every surface inside the crowded classrooms of Bandar. A primary school teacher spends her entire morning projecting her voice over fifty noisy children. She breathes in fine white powder while writing on the blackboard. Her throat feels raw by noon. She drinks warm water from a thermos but the pain refuses to fade. A persistent earache joins the sore throat a few days later. Ignoring these head and neck issues makes speaking almost impossible. Asst Prof Dr Tamanna Nawshin steps in to treat these specific ailments. She holds the academic rank of Assistant Professor. Her medical education rests on a very solid base. She earned her MBBS from Dhaka University. She then mastered the intricate anatomy of the ear nose and throat by completing an MS at BSMMU. You will find her consulting patients at Popular Diagnostic Center Ltd in Narayangonj. The exhausted teacher finally visits the chamber when she loses her voice completely. Dr Tamanna Nawshin approaches the frightened woman with a very gentle touch. A female surgeon brings a specific kind of comfort to the examination room. She uses a tiny light to look deep inside the nasal passages and throat. She spots the swollen vocal cords and the infected sinus cavities immediately. She knows that forcing the voice through this inflammation causes permanent damage. Teaching medical students gives an Assistant Professor a very clear communication style. She grabs a blank notepad and draws a simple sketch of the vocal cords. She explains how the chalk dust created a chronic infection. She writes down a strict resting schedule for her voice. She tells the teacher exactly what medications will reduce the swelling without needing an operation right away. She speaks in a warm tone that removes the fear of losing her career. Taking a woman who cannot speak on a bumpy bus ride to the capital is a terrible idea. The loud horns on the Dhaka highway just add more stress to her pounding headache. Having a BSMMU trained ENT surgeon right in the neighborhood is a massive blessing. The family can get a proper diagnosis locally. The teacher can rest her voice in her own quiet room. Follow up visits become a simple rickshaw ride instead of a whole day event. Hearing a familiar voice ring clear again brings pure joy to a quiet classroom.
