Of all the ways I could've possibly imagined for coming to my workplace, landing in a helicopter in a flight suit was never one of them.
What a beautiful way to end my 6-week journey at
@AUG_University
! Honored and thankful to have learnt so many things in such less time!
April's coming to an end and what a month it's been! Became a doctor & completed a 4-week elective rotation at
@UIHealth
/
@IDatUIC
- an indescribable learning experience that was positively overwhelming in many ways.
Side take-away from the elective: I am very coffee-dependent.
Thank you

I remember that while I was an attendant for my nanu, everytime a doctor or a nurse came, she was sure to tell them that I was a doctor too, before I corrected that I have a long way to go. Nanu always replied in return "but you're my doctor!". I miss you so much.
I remember 17th December 2014 more than the 16th. We went to school and gave an exam like nothing happened. I still think we failed to comprehend what had just happened, or perhaps we didn't exactly want to understand, because relating to victims of terror- (1/3)
i wish all doctors were as kind and nice as this one who replied to my long email despite being so busy. i wish they knew how much their reply means to me.

went to the

to teach their staff about essential skills required for saving a life. We aimed to be more inclusive, but now we're doing it in real-time.
#Inclusivity

Proud to have played a small part in this effort!
Volunteering at a

#Eid
made me realize 3 things, which I try to make into a thread below:
About 31,000 people got their
#COVID19
vaccine during the 3 days of Eid at different vaccination centres in
#Sindh
. The entire process has been made very simple by

, I would urge all within the age bracket to come forward to get themselves vaccinated at the earliest
Proud to be a part of
@FRIPakistan
's workshop at
@NOWPDP
, an organization striving to achieve inclusivity for differently-abled individuals.
At FRIP, we strive to ensure life-saving knowledge is accessible to everyone.
This is just a step. A big step, nevertheless.
the best thing that happened to karachi in the recent few years is the people's bus service. i just hope the routes are increased and the buses arrive at stops more frequently.
Never too early!

If you need to understand how abusers, harrassers, rapists, and murderers are made, just visit an all-boys school. The prevalent objectification of women there, combined with toxic masculinity, makes it the birthplace of femicide in Pakistan.

It's a different feeling when you can contribute, even a little bit, to make it easier for a team in the OR that's already working on a super intense case. That's what I did today and I feel happy!
