This is the true story of a man who rose from the depth of poverty
to become a pioneer in modern medicine. Born in a small village in
Iraq, and raised by a poor family, he met and conquered many
adversities in his pursuit of a better living and his goal of
becoming a physician. His chosen path was briefly derailed when he
was granted a full scholarship to study engineering in United
Kingdom, but he eventually came back to a successful career in
medicine, becoming a leader in organ transplantation, one of the
most innovative fields in modern medicine. Unfortunately, he became
the victim of his own success when his achievements created
animosity in his colleagues, who waged a political war and booted
him to another country thousands of miles away. In his voluntary
exile, he refused to be defeated and ultimately emerged stronger
than ever. When forced to relocate yet again, his fame preceded him
to the United States of America, where he has continued his mission
to the present day. This book is a snapshot of the professional and
personal life of a surgical innovator and pioneer. It is set in the
background of a previous era in British, North American and
international surgery. But what was his life like? How did he reach
the pinnacle of success? Find out in this book.
