Dedicated to my late parents for their uncompromising principles and beliefs that paved the path
towards all my intellectual pursuits. Their faith and belief in God, and their relentless desire to
assist others in need, helped me to become a better doctor and teacher. I thank all the patients
throughout the years for the honour and privilege of allowing me to participate in their care.
