We asked Heidar 7 our short questions to get to know him better.

1. What is the most inspiring and forming your approach to patient care?

I am fortunate to have a very good mentor that has shown me how to have a good combination between compassion, care, perseverance, and hard work.

2. What is your favorite part of your job?

Seeing a patient that I operated became cancer -free.

3. What is your biggest fear when you are a patient?

Unknown. What happens in the future and what problems do I have? How will this affect my life? That is something I always think of when I talk to the patient.

4. What do you do to get rid of stress?

Relieves with my family. They are people who reduce my stress; certainly.

5. The last film you see?

Year 10, Post-Kinamat Film.

6. Thumb up or down?

That’s not bad. Only show how without society, humanity can switch. Very dark.

7. The best advice you have ever heard of?

My father always told me when I was young when I took the exam, “Do my best.” I never understood how important the phrase was until I got older and realized there were many things that you could not control. Really the best you can do is do your best. And that’s how I live my life. Everything I did, I did it as best I could and then I continued.
