"What the Operating Room Really Teaches Us: The Hidden Curriculum of Paediatric Surgery"
There is a moment every paediatric surgeon recognises—when the theatre lights dim just enough for the drapes to glow, the monitors settle into their quiet rhythm, and a child sleeps under anaesthesia with a trust so absolute it almost feels sacred. We enter the operating room to learn anatomy, technique, and judgement. But the lessons that stay with us—the ones that shape who we become—are rarely written in any curriculum.
They come from silent glances, unspoken expectations

“The Bravest Words a Leader Can Say: I Was Wrong”
The bravest words a surgeon—or any leader—can say are:👉 “I was wrong.” In paediatric surgery, we live at the intersection of precision and unpredictability.Yet the real measure of leadership isn’t how perfectly we operate—it’s how humbly we learn. Admitting error doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. It builds trust—with your team, your trainees, and most importantly, with the families who place their faith in your hands. Leadership in medicine isn’t about being infall

"The Surgeon-Scientist: Bridging the OR and the Lab"
In modern healthcare, the most transformative outcomes for patients often come from surgeons who balance two worlds: the operating room and the research lab.
The operating room teaches precision, decision-making under pressure, and the technical mastery needed to save lives. The lab, on the other hand, offers something equally vital: the curiosity to ask why, the patience to test how, and the rigor to refine techniques before they touch a patient’s body

"The Unsettling Necessity of Self-Defence Training for Doctors"
Doctors should not have to fight in order to heal. If self-defence has entered our curriculum, let it not just train our bodies — but also awaken our collective conscience to protect the soul of healthcare.

“ You Don’t Need to Lose Yourself to Lead, Grow, or Succeed”
Leadership in medicine doesn’t mean losing yourself.
It means showing up as human — not just as a title.

"Beyond the Scalpel: What Else Can Surgeons Do With What We’ve Learned?"
As surgeons, we dedicate years—often decades—to learning anatomy, refining skills, and perfecting judgment. Every suture we place and every decision we make comes from years of cumulative training and experience.
But in the relentless pursuit of technical mastery, we rarely pause to ask a deeper, more human question:
What else could I do with everything I’ve learned?

"Lifestyle Choices & Chronic Disease: What We Often Overlook"
Today, more than 95% of all chronic diseases are linked not to genetics alone, but to our daily choices — what we eat, how much we move, and the toxins we expose ourselves to.

"Chase Better, Not Perfect — A Surgeon’s Path to Mastery"
In paediatric surgery, the stakes are high. We’re often working with tiny anatomy, fragile physiology, and anxious families. The pressure to be perfect is constant — both from within and from outside.
But here’s what experience has taught me:👉 Perfection is a trap. Progress is the path.

“Saving Small Hospitals: One Cup of Chai at a Time”
Medicine is becoming more corporate by the day — and doctors more replaceable. If we don’t act now, the only “private practice” we’ll have is trying to find time for a lunch break.
Let’s build group practices, support small hospitals, and make sure future doctors don’t grow up thinking healthcare is just another industry.
💙 If we don’t help each other, who will?

" Why 'Progress Over Perfection' Is the Mindset Surgeons Need Most"
As surgeons, we are trained to pursue precision. That’s a good thing — in the operating room, accuracy can mean the difference between complication and cure.
But outside the OR? Perfection can become a trap.
