Why Healthcare? It was in March 2, 4004: thousands of people marching on the road. In the crowd where 12 suicide bombers and all of a sudden there were so many people lying on the ground, injured. I was the only physician in the scene but there were medics around. I think my main motivation in the medical sector is to use my unique experiences and combat in the emergency room and multiply it, make a better impact, that’s what we are trying to do.
Hot Topic that should healthcare leaders agenda: Using resources efficiently. It is technology that can help with the efficiency.
Setbacks that you learned from: As pertains to life clinic when we started out, we were just telemedicine but we realized it’s not going to solve the bigger puzzle of healthcare.
Proudest leadership moments: It was in Iraq when I found Chris dead on a sidewalk. Serving with heroes like him in the medical field is my proudest moment.
What advice would you give to the listeners on creating a compelling mission to stay focused on? The mission comes from within. We all have a unique set of life experiences, unique skill sets. It’s not about the skill set you have, it’s what you do with that. Find that passion and make an impact.
