This week I speak with Dr. Wael Saasouh, an anesthesiologist from Lebanon. He shares his perspectives about working as an attending in Lebanon, then transitioning to the US to do another residency in anesthesiology. He discusses many of the challenges that he and his wife faced working in rural Lebanon, in moving to the US, and in integrating into the US culture and medical system. Apart from the logistical challenges, I was really humbled by Wael's spirit of perseverance, determination and optimism that allowed him to accomplish great things and encourage others on to achievements of their own.
