Bio
There is a very famous saying in the town I was born in “A tree bends when its fruits have ripened; a fresh water cloud hangs low; similarly, a gentleman becomes all the more humble in prosperity.” This was the grass root for seeking education to achieve a fuller meaning to existence and living. My parents never let me forget the five pillars of human creation; Gentleness, humility, frugality, empathy and benevolence. Being a brother of ten other siblings all specializing in the fields of medicine, science and business administration, I did not have a shortage of role models. But the pioneering principles that were given to me as a gift has always kindled in my heart and has been the guiding light through my endeavors.
“A tree bends when its fruits have ripened; a fresh water cloud hangs low; similarly, a gentleman becomes all the more humble in prosperity.”
My sacrifice to come to United states in the bitter cold of November in the city of Chicago, with no heating and at times, a day of compulsory fasting due to financial crunch, cleaning cabs and cooking food in restaurants is no unique story. We all know, have worked with and also help take care of people with similar stories. Getting a single interview at the University of Chicago program and from there road to Critical care Medicine at the Rush University Medical Center with Cook County hospital, then Cardiovascular disease fellow ship at the Cook County- Rush Program and finally to Milwaukee at Saint Luke’s finishing the Interventional and Endovascular fellowship after 9 years, I finally finished my educational chapter of life.
