Looking back at my professional life ....I create this profile.
However it is definitely incomplete as it does not lists the beautiful souls I have met and exchanged so much of joy in working with them.It does not lists my colleagues, hospital staff, my team members, mentors, teachers and family and extended families of patients who have been my strength.That particular list of my support pillars is very exhaustive and I can only say that I am here because of them.
