Where Surgical Excellence Meets Profound Human Connection
Twelve thousand times, I’ve held a life.
So many faces, minds, and souls—
a number far too vast to count,
until the room grows quiet and cold.
Then, all the charts and numbers fade;
there are no cases, only eyes.
I look at you, and see a song,
a painting under heavy skies.
I know the craft of bone and blade,
but healing is a softer art.
I listen to the things unsaid,
the silent tremor of the heart.
For pain can grow from hidden roots,
where medicine can never reach;
a poem, or a gentle touch,
is what I traveled far to teach.
Now under inspiring Austrian skies,
where music breathes in every street,
I show the young how art and science
are meant to beautifully meet.
So put the title “Doctor” down.
Tonight, let boundaries soften through.
I am a friend who will sit in the dark,
and wait for the light to return to you.
From Damascus to Dubai, my career has been defined by an unwavering commitment to advancing surgical care while maintaining the human touch that transforms patient outcomes.
