I was born in February, 1986, which makes me 25 and an Aquarius. Not a big fan of birthdays or Zodiac signs though. I am full-fledged Jaddawi with a Lebanese background.
I have received my Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery (MBBS) from the Faculty of Medicine, King Abdulaziz University in July 2009. After finishing my internship year, I was appointed as a Demonstrator (Teaching Assistant/Mo3eed) at the Department of Pediatrics, KAU in August 2010. I also worked as a Junior Pediatric Resident at the University Hospital. I’m currently in Washington, D.C. to prepare for and take the United States Medical License Examination (USMLE) and complete my residency in pediatrics with a subsequent fellowship in general academic pediatrics. I’m a recipient of a scholarship to pursue a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree, as well.
I want to become a well-rounded successful pediatrician in the future inshallah since I care very much about children’s health and well-being. I love the science and complexity of the pediatric illnesses and having strong relationships with the patients and their families.
In addition, I would like to become a published author since writing is a passion of mine besides medicine. This place was originally created as a home to foster all of my creative writings.
I’m married to a wonderful lady who also happens to be a doctor.

“If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth the reading, or do things worth the writing.”
I hope I get to do both.

Roa’a, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your comment… you always say the sweetest things. Thanks
finally, a follow writer. I’m still looking around here so don’t mind me.
I’ve been writing novels for a year now. But I quit after writing four novels, and directed my attention towards writing somdething that represents me rather than my dreamy stories
so best of luck bro…judging by what I’ve read so far, you’ve got a better start and a better grip over the writing technique than mine when I first started. and by better I mean way better.
cheers
magicrealism, 4 novels in one year? That’s quite an achievement! What have become of those novels?
Thanks for the good luck wishes… everyone needs it.
And I have been writing for over 6 years now… only started sharing my writings though a couple of years ago
Look around as much as you like!
Keep it up,bro. And all the best for your novels.
who are the different people whose pics u hav put up in the header?
i recognize Obama and C. Ronaldo
HishMaj, thanks
Regarding the pics… There’s Halah Kawtharani. She is a Lebanese writer. She writes weekly for Laha magazine and she has a novel called “Al-Osbo3 Ala5eer” She is my favorite Arabic short story writer
- There’s Nizar Qabbani who doesn’t need me to say anything about him! Well, except that he is my favorite Arabic poet
- Olivia Wood is an actress that appeared on The O.C. and House TV shows. She only represents beautiful women to me lol In addition, on House, she plays a young caring attractive and smart doctor…
- The last one is Dr. Ahmed Khalid Tawfik. He is an Egyptian practicing physician that specializes in Infectious Diseases. He writes multiple titles for Rewayat Ma9reya Leljeeb including: Ma Wra2 Al6abe3a, Fantasia and Safari. He has two novels out and he has translated many international novels into Arabic. He is the one that influenced my writing style the most. I hope I can get to be like him in the future. A doctor and a writer inshallah.

Hello, stumbled on your blog^^.
Insha’allah your most precious hopes and dreams get fulfilled.
Welcome to my blog then
and thanks for the wish!
A friend of mine steered me towards this place upon knowing about my passion for writing. And for that, I am thankful.
Truth is, I’m not just into writing, the whole English Language never ceases to amaze me… how words can be played with, how they can affect people. And that’s what I like to do… find new ways to get to the people by writing.
And you got to me.
I think we can be good friends. Especially since I saw that picture of Olivia Wilde in your header! I am almost obsessed with her, hehe.
I’m glad you liked my humble writings
and not only English is fascinating. all languages are. I’m very interested in Arabic trying to use it and perfect it too. English is just my way of thinking and expressing myself i guess. I intend to learn French inshallah too ! Perhaps try to write in that too !
Olivia Wilde is put here to represent female beauty lol She’s beautiful but i got someone more beautiful
