The man without a face...

My life has suddenly had a big change over the course of the past few months. and big part of it has been mostly due to the decisions that I made, or better say I had to make in order to keep myself going.
A few months back, I had to swallow my pride and take a chance at a very bruised ego, to be challenged again.. I had to take an offer of a job that still belongs to one of the most controversial (not so pleasantly) branches of my field...

I have always been interested in Oncology.. for one reason or the other... from enjoying its Patho-physiology to the fascination by the huge scientific progress that we have been able to make in the past few decades.. To my naively idealistic optimism about the future of oncology and what we can achieve. I believe I can have my intellectual, and compassionate niche in this front...

With all this in mind, I devoted a year of my life to research in Oncology, and later on entered into a residency of internal medicine with the plan to follow oncology as a sub-specialty.
And of course life doesn't always let things go as planned , and it was my time to learn that lesson..
Long and complicated story, suffice to tell I couldn't get it.. not for now. not until I could take care of the logistics of my presence in this country.

There I was lost without a soul. as If I had lost the richest relationship in my life..as if I was a man without identity, without a heart....

to be continued.
