Why did you choose E.N.T ?
Well, I choose E.N.T as a
specialty for a number of reasons.
Firstly, E.N.T ward is
comparatively cleaner. You don’t get to see catheters and blood
etc that often. Secondly, I
myself was really
fanatical and keen of the Head and Neck region so I opted for
this specialty. Then this specialty
gives an option of how
much you want to confine yourself. You can either limit your
specialty to tonsils or you can
expand it to whole Head
and Neck as many other specialties overlap it e.g.
Ophthalmology, neurosurgery, plastic
surgery etc. Other than
that it is a teaching specialty. Moreover you can be a surgeon
and physician at the
sometime. So you can say I
have a number of reasons for being an E.N.T Professor.
Who were you inspired by in your life?
As you all know an
inspiring person is a person who sets positive examples that
could affect a better change in
someone’s life. For me the
inspiring people were Prof. I. A Jaferi of Karachi, Prof. Kamil
Muzzzafar and of course,
Prof. Azhar Ali in Lahore
because they were the people with great vision, great
determination and persistent to his
job. They taught me
perseverance, devotion and dedication. So I really esteem them
from my heart.
How did you find E.N.T as a student?
As a student I got
excellent marks in E.N.T and performed really well and like any
other student, the subject in
which you score well
becomes your favorite so E.N.T became mine.
What were your feelings towards E.N.T teachers?
To be really honest, they were really
complicated and you can say, excruciatingly unbearable.
What do you think about Bunkers and Back
Benchers?
Well, for back benchers
E.N.T is a really easy subject because you can perform well
despite snoozing in class or
even bunking classes as
you don’t have to exert that much in this subject as the case
with other specialty. I can say
this because I was an
active member of back bencher association and was a frequent
bunker myself.
Were you a back bencher or a bunker during your
M.B.B.S life?
Yes, a very frequent one
indeed. I personally used to find it quite excruciating to
listen to our associate professor
however; I had to attend
the H.O.Ds lectures as I knew I have to face him in the
examinations. So that is how I used
to be.
Any student experience you want to share?
I remember an episode of
E.N.T lecture. As no surprise, it was another boring and
mind-numbing E.N.T lecture. Our
group of friends thought
of leaving the class one by one when the teacher is not looking.
One of our friend was
successful in the
expedition however, sir did see him leaving. Then ran the second
one and made it safely outside.
Now it was the turn of
third one, just as he was leaving the teacher suddenly turned
around and caught him. and
that poor victim was me.
Then started a race between me and sir towards the door. We both
ran as fast as we
could. I was successful in
leaving the class and sir was successful in hitting the door.
When he asked who that kid
was? One of my class
fellow said Sir Gordon Granger.
Sir any message to students?
Dear students as you know
that this age is a period of career building and also a golden
period when you have to
fabricate the more cherish
able memories. I would recommend you to maintain a balance so
you may not regret
wasting all of the time on any one of
them. Best of luck for your future.
