The Joy of Medical Practice

As an ophthalmologist, he rarely dealt with life-threatening disorders, but he was able to save and restore vision. He also witnessed firsthand the impact of visual loss on people, many of whom could not have their vision saved.

His greatest joy was that of patient care. Meeting people and being able to help them overcome a disease was always very important. He loves to tell the stories of his favorite patients and how they influenced him. They include:

A nun who could not wear black;

A baby with a congenital orbital teratoma;

A lady who always sat in the dark;

And many more interesting characters!
