"I believe everyone responds well to a smile and a kind word. I grew up as a medical student in England where many of my medical teachers and nurses displayed such warmth, grace, compassion and wonderful bedside manner that I wanted to treat patients like that too. Being a doctor is a privilege for which I am grateful. There is so much satisfaction in interacting with and being able to help another – irrespective of status, skin colour or belief."
