Having the mental and physical endurance that matches the unpredictable nature of surgery. Communication and leadership skills. Above all, the humility of adopting an ongoing strive to learn in order to sharpen one’s skills, such as critical analysis and creativity. Achieving these goals appears challenging, but for them to be achieved in exceptional circumstances of escaping a war torn country, traveling between cities, working as a second-class citizen, and fighting to save patients’ and loved ones’ lives is captivating.
