It's really intriguing how the world and humanity revolves with surprising revelation.
Like this week, when I entered Accident & Emergency Posting expecting to confront grumpy, depressed and annoyed-looking specialists only to be catch off-balance by the reality that almost all of them are cheerful, good natured, and totally willing to teach us lowly medical students the art of medicine with precise yet simplistic approach that made me wonder why the heck have I been stressing myself for 4 years thinking that medicine was complicated!
It's calming really, to get to know a group of people who truth be told are the ones working in the most chaotic and exhausting environment, yet can act serene and be unruffled by all the uncertainties surrounding them everyday.
They make fast and accurate decisions that have saved many a life with only the basic cocktail of knowledge, clinical skills and confidence.
They treat all their colleagues and even their subordinates with utmost respect sprinkled with a sparkle of humor that often leave me wondering am I really in the Emergency department?
One resident (or you can call them specialist too) in particular truly inspired me with his stories from weeks volunteering in Bam, Iran (click here) during an earthquake disaster. And to add at that, he is also a poet, "and a truly damn good poet at that!". His words, not mine. But apparently, after googling his name, I would say that he is damn good.
So here's to Dr. Alzamani Mohammad Idrose, a truly idealistic and caring doctor. One day, may I follow your very foot steps to bring hope for less disdain and meaning that many will gain.

Through the rain of pain
Through the rain of pain
stain of disdain
and plains of strain
One must seek to gain
Life, even in just one grain
No matter how much is the rain of pain
One must seek to give
What one can, for others to live
No matter how short or how brief
One must seek to care
And let them live to dare
breathe better and have more to share
One must seek to hope
And help to cope
So as they fall, they find a rope
In all these pain, disdain and strain
There is always sunshine after the rain
There is always hope for less disdain
and meaning that many will gain
