Alizadeh Hussain

This story is about a five and a half year old Iranian boy in Doha ---Qatar who was born in Iran on July 1969 and at one year migrated to Qatar

He went to normal school in the day and to Arabic school in the night ,

He plodded through five years of elementary school three years of secondary and finally four years of high school ,and Arabic five years of elementary ,three years of secondary and three years of high school and in july 1985 he passed out of iranian school ( high school ) with an average of 99 .5 and from Arabic school with an average of 95 %

( early signs of a prodigy in the making .)

He also did the O and A level from the British Council in Qatar ,

passed TOEFL in 1986 with a mark of 685 out of 700 and IELTS in 1998 with a mark of 7.5 out of 8 .

phew !!

now ask me who this is

this is the phenomenal person I could meet and work with the last two years when in UAE

He is consultant hematologist Dr Alizadeh Hussain .

He is unique in not only his academic capabilities which I am yet to unfold ,but because of his very human nature

I would count Alizadeh as one of the most dedicated medical professionals I know of ,hardworking and a thorough professional

To him his patients were everything and to them he was too .

In 1985 he did his premedical study in london - U.K. and Istanbul -Turkey

From August 1987 to September 1993 he did his primary medical university in Pecs -Hungary graduating with a 4.98 grade out of 5 ! and walked away with the coveted Red medal for being the best student in the last twenty years ( from 1973 to 1993 he got the best marks !! )

Actually he did the medical school in four and a half years which normally is done in six years !

He was also teaching Anatomy ,Neuroanatomy ,Embryology ,Histology ,Physiology and Biochemistry in the last one and a half years in the medical school .

take a breath .........more to come

He then flew to the U.S.A. and was in New york and later in New Haven Connectiut .

He came back to Hungary in 1997 and was there till 2000 when he passed his internal Medicine Board Exam in which he got 100 % or 5 out of 5

( nothing less for him )

He then moved back to the U.S.A and to Houston - Texas where he did his fellowship in Leukaemia and Bone marrow Transplantation at the legendary M.D.Anderson Cancer Centre with Dr Hagop Kantarjian ( June 2000 to August 2000 ) .

He then hopped over the Atlantic to the U.K. to the Royal Marsden and Hammersmith hospitals in London from september 2000 to march 2001 to bag an additional fellowship in Bone marrow transplantation .

He joined Tawam hospital in Al Ain ,AbuDhabi ,U.A.E known for its hematology Oncology ,Radiotherapy ,Palliative department in March 2001 .

He passed the Board of Hematology -Oncology and Hematopoetic Stem cell Transplantation in February 2001 with ( guess what ,yes you are right now ) 100 % or a five out of five .

He had scholarships to Greece and Germany between 1997 and 2000 and also was teaching in Hungary and Austria

cosmopolitian physician indeed !

In Greece he got the award for the best researcher and also bagged his first Fiancee there ( wonder how he found the time admidst all these busy academics ....time managment dear friends )

in Hungary he got three awards for best teacher ,best researcher and best lecturer

In U.A.E he got eight awards which included excellent teacher ,excellent presenter ,employee of the month ,Best doctor by patients survey and an Assistant Professor in 2007 ,he was promoted to Associate professor in Europe in 2008 and also adjunct Associate Professor from FMHS in al Ain U.A.E .

( didnt leave much awards for others I think )

Iam exhausted !

He spoke several languages with the finesse of a native of that language English ,Farsi ,Persian ,hindi ,Urdu ,Arabic ,Hungarian ,French ,smattering of Tegalo and so on and on .

He was a dynamite of energy always on the move so much so he never married

( where is the time ? )

One fine day he left us all in Tawam to move to Europe hopefully for a short period with a promise to be back

On his farewell party I wrote a tiny ditty which I read out then .........which I am adding here
