College News Collage: Give Blood, In-house Faculty, and Palliative Care Trip

■ ■ Having in-house faculty members as course directors comes with a sigh of relief for phase 2 students at Alfaisal. The medical students would like to express their sincere gratitude towards the college administration for assigning in-house faculty members as course directors for the major-ity of their subjects. Since these directors are based in Al-faisal rather than KFSH&RC, it allows for a more coherent and harmonious medical curriculum, focused on providing a higher level of education mainly due to the accessibility and more organized nature of the in-house doctors.

Cancer Awareness @Aramco Festival by Mohamad AlSaadoon and Mohamed Ray-Zack

■ ■ In May 2011, I was offered a chance to represent Al-faisal University at the Aramco Summer Festival. With a few colleagues of mine, I planned a team who would help in raising awareness on one of the most prevalent health threats present in the Saudi community: colo-rectal cancer. We designed a study with the support of Dr. Hasan Rajab, the senior author and principal investi-gator of the study. An important aspect of our study was finding out the proportion of the Saudi population that knew about the prevalence of this disease. Throughout the study period, the team members acquired skills on how to cooperate and work professionally in a team and how to have suc-cessful communication with the public as health care providers. Next, my colleague Mohammed Ray-Zack and I are going to present our study findings at the 8th Inter-national Scientific Conference for Medical Students in the GCC, taking place in Muscat, Oman.

■ ■ On November 30th 2011, the Alfaisal Medical Student Association (MSA) announced the official start of its annual elec-tions. Students from all medical batches were seen to participate with full energy and enthusiasm, competing for the vari-ous positions that MSA had to offer, but the battle for MSA presidency was what captured most of the students’ attention. Campaigning by the candidates was at its peak, from posters, to brochures, to even Facebook fan pages! The results were announced on 2nd Jan 2012. Abdullah Alshammari surpassed the other presidential contenders and was selected as the next MSA president. His new team is comprised of Abdulaziz Kattan, Anas Al-Khani, Osama AbouSaleh, Motaz Chamseddien, Lucman Anwer, and Karam Hamweyah as respective committee heads. Students have expressed high hopes from the newly selected MSA body, and wish them all the best for their upcoming projects.

Respected readers, this section entails a humble attempt at reviving and strengthening love for Allah SWT within the very core of our hearts, thereby adorning every aspect of our lives with His Mercy and Guidance, insha’Allah. Your submissions and feedback are, as always, more than welcome.

Spiritual Reflections: “And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.” (51:55)

existence – the worship of the One who gave us life and will take it away when He wills. We bask in the vibrant colours splattered across the canvas of life, forgetting all the while that as we enjoy our meal, the comfort of our homes and the blissful company of loved ones, we must endeavour to re-member and thank Him. We seek comfort and joy in the tran-sient as we chase the jewels of the world, forgetting that true comfort and true joy can only arise through the re-membrance of the Ever-Living – “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (13:28) In order to survive and thrive, we must acquire knowledge, we must work, we must partake in inter-human relation-ships – in fact, we are encouraged to do so – yet we must remember to en-sure all our dealings revolve around

one central premise: the pleasure of the Almighty. When we learn, we must learn with the goal of benefitting oth-ers with our knowledge; when we work, we must work with the intention to seek sustenance through lawful means and be an asset to society; when we enjoy the many blessings within life, we must always remember to thank He who gave us everything. No act of ours – even simple actions such as eating, drinking and sleeping - should lack the perspective that through it, we ought to please the Most Loving, the Most High. We must stop, ponder and reflect, ask-ing ourselves where we shall stand be-fore Allah on the Day there is no shade but His, if our primary goal in life is worldly gain; if our one true purpose, at the end of the day, is not the one true reason for our existence.

“Say, ‘Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.’” (6:162) ■ ■ What is our purpose in life? Why are we here and why must we reflect upon the ripples setting our waves of action into motion? Allah SWT says in the Quran, “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (51: 56) These words speak vol-umes – we were created for one soli-tary purpose: the worship of the Al-mighty, Lord of all the Worlds. Yet when we awaken, we hasten to-wards the worldly agenda we carved for the day, forgetting that as we strive to educate our minds or earn a living or enjoy the many blessings bestowed upon us, the eternal soul remains ne-glected unless all these activities re-volve around the purpose of our very

SDC’s Clubs: Awesome Accomplishments and Future Potential ■ ■ The first semester has been a very busy one for most of us at the Social Development Committee (SDC) and unfortunately a few of the major events we worked on didn’t exactly go according to plan, but as always we hope to chip in and make it all up in the upcoming semester! The So-cial Division would like to start off the semester with a strong approach towards activities. Our future project in current preparation will possibly be the Alfaisal In-ternational Cultural Day, where we will have different students represent-ing their own countries for the crowd – this will definitely bring the di-verse Alfaisal together. Along with this, we hope to bring in many more mini-activities to keep you entertained throughout the semester. Meanwhile we’ve got exciting updates from our Athletics Division! SDC is planning on having tryouts for the official Alfaisal basketball and soccer teams, both hopefully within the first month of the coming semester. Plans are also being made to try and cash in on a dodge ball and soccer tournament sometime in the following semester. News from our Clubs Division is that we are thrilled to bring to you 5 more clubs which will begin their activities starting next semester. These clubs include: Alfaisal Kung Fu Club, Alfaisal Islamic Club, Alfaisal Gaming Club, Alfaisal Movie as a Visual Literature Club, and Alfaisal Book Club. You’d be delighted to know that our Student Services Division has formu-lated a study room plan as well as a new approach to meals at Alfaisal. Details will be revealed in due time! Well, that’s it for now from us in the SDC but keep your eyes and ears open for more updates soon!

Research Experience: Mohammed Diya @ Harvard Medical School

■ ■ I have always loved medicine but at the same time, I didn’t like the cliché of this field, someone who just memorizes and learns as much as possible then applies what he has learned on a patient. I wanted not only to learn but also to add to the existent knowledge. I have been working in KFSH&RC for three years. I was fortunate to work aside Dr. Fowzan AlKuraya, a pioneer in the field of developmental genetics. Under his supervision, I have learned most of the common lab techniques, including PCR, western blotting, tissue and cell culturing and immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. We worked on three projects; two of them have been published! I have also contributed, along with Dr. Ganguly in a chapter in a book. In the summer of 2011, I joined Dr. Martin Pollak’s Lab in Harvard Medical School as a research intern where I learned how to do molecular cloning and produced an H.I.V with a Varicella envelope that is able to infect cells in vitro. The goal was to study the effects of this infection on different cell lines; it was my first customized virus! Re-search is just awesome! I don’t mind doing it for the rest of my life.

■ ■ A sigh of relief is breathed after the end of Phase I for most Semes-ter 3 students. Our first step towards graduation was taken and most succeeded in it. Although a very short break was given to us, most of us were pleased with it. It was a well-earned break after all. After all the hardships and obstacles that came our way during this phase, we were all glad to be done with it. However, our journey does not end here; it’s still long before we graduate from medical school. So, fuel up and re-energize, try your best and strive hard. Good luck in the upcoming semesters!

Writing Contest Winner Ammar Farook Chapra Won SR300 Gift Card!

Who is ‘Ak’? My name is Akram Mustafa Nur-hussen and I am an Eritrean na-tional, born and raised in Riyadh. I am the middle child in my family and have an older brother and younger sister. So obviously, I was the one who was totally ig-nored in the family but at the same time always blamed for every little mischief!

How would you describe your experience as the first batch of students in the clerkship year? Alfaisal medical students are doing really well in their medical clerkship program this far. As leaders, Abdullah Alshammari and I get positive reviews from our continuous meetings with the program directors about the general performance of our colleagues in their rotations. Further-more, both the consultants and residents are very helpful to the students. They are very keen to teach us and engage us in their discussions, even during their on-call sessions when they are in the midst of a grueling day of work.

“Voice yourself!” All I want to say is that Alfaisal is still a startup university but mashaAllah it has come a long way in such a short time! Since it’s a startup, students are expected to face some obstacles and difficulties during their academic life. However, we should be thankful to the administration that allows our student representatives to express all of our concerns and works with us in alleviating these problems. I would also like to say that when there is a problem, the students should go through the proper channels and use their representatives instead of going to the administration directly. This allows a more coherent way of discussing is-sues rather than an entire batch going individually with his/her concern. Lastly, I would like to urge all the students to take part in every little thing that could help make Alfaisal a better place, whether it may be surveys, questionnaires, or in-structor evaluations. It will all lead to the betterment of our university and academic life, if not for us, then at least for the new generation of Alfaisal students after us!

■ ■ As I tiptoed out of the operation room, I

knew my life would never be the same

again. But how could this be possible. The

exploratory surgery had revealed that the

trauma had caused a brain haemorrhage;

in an artery so small that it had been un-

detectable in all the

imaging tests we

were busy with that day. The thought

kept recurring…a bleed in my son’s

brain. This was surreal. Yesterday, my

son Ahmad, an ecstatic 4 year old was

jumping around the house waiting for

his cousins to arrive. I’d never seen

him this exuberant. As soon as they

arrived they started pillow fighting. Yes, little foam filled

fabrics had caused all this. One of the pillows hit him on the

head and he stumbled backward and lightly fell on the cor-

ner of our TV cabinet. I rushed towards him as soon as I saw

him fall on his ear. I quickly checked the site of injury, and

besides a small red dot in his ear, he was perfectly normal.

He even stood up after a few minutes and regained his joy-

ful game. But the problem began after he went to bed. We

found him in his bed wildly shaking, his teeth chattering,

and his entire body uncontrollably vibrating. A repugnant

odour told us he had urinated in his pants. I could hear my

wife shrieking in the room asking me to do something. I im-

mediately called an ambulance as she tried to stop him

from jittering fiercely. After a few minutes it was over. He

had stopped moving. His breathing

was shallow. Sweat was pouring

down across his face. The ambulance

sped up towards the hospital with its

repetitive siren echoing through my

ears. The entire way he didn’t utter a

single sound. It was as though some-

thing had frightened him to the ex-

tent that he couldn’t speak. He lay in

my wife’s lap who spent the time tightly clenching his right

hand while wiping the drool that kept oozing out of his

mouth. Little did I know about the severity of his condition. I

simply stood there outside the operation room, thinking

about how his eyes would light up whenever I would come

home. My gut was tied in a knot as I acknowledged the fact

that I would never see those eyes light up again…for the

doctors had declared him to be brain dead for life…

College of Medicine On: Are Students Getting Enough Support?

■ ■ What we lack in terms of services, we are told will be pro-vided in due time. However, some services are simply es-sential and one of them is healthcare. Alfaisal is widely known for its affilia-tion with the neighboring KFSH&RC. The neighboring hospital serves as Alfaisal’s University Hospital. The first batch of students is currently enrolled in full-time clerkships and some even partake in nightshifts. Nevertheless, many of the Alfaisal students (even the medical students) are sim-ply not expected to have access to healthcare at this sup-

Healthcare for Alfaisal Students by Adeeb AlSibae posed university hospital. Any academic institution should focus on providing healthcare services in the easiest way

possible, in this case access to health-care at KFSH, and Alfaisal should not take any shortcuts in this aspect. It is pertinent to know that some Al-faisal students experienced quite frus-trating situations when they did not know where to go in an emergency

and possibly might have been victims of a medical insurance scam. It is a part of student life at Alfaisal that desperately needs improvement.

■ ■ Each of us walks into medical school anticipating the start of clinical years. For most of us, the wait is painfully long and dry. But what if we didn’t have to wait to start apply-ing what we learnt? Emory Uni-versity, ranked # 21 by US News in Medicine, thinks it's better if we don’t. Last year, the univer-sity started a new and more challenging curriculum where students were exposed to the clinics right from the beginning. The class of 2011 spent a week assigned to a clinic, inpatient service, or emergency depart-ment where they learned from real cases upfront. By their sixth month, students were required to diagnose a patient and break bad news to them, later learning that the pa-

Making Better Doctors or Different Doctors? By Saira Munir tients were actually paid actors by the university. William Eley, executive associate dean for medical education and stu-dent affairs at Emory, said, “Medical students learn more

from what they see and experience than from what they hear. There’s an old saying that the values of medicine are caught, not taught.” Emory is taking a completely differ-ent approach to teaching since they prepare students to take Step I of the USMLE in just a year and a half. Whatever the consequences, stu-dents are insisting that this system is helping them apply what they

learn and inspiring them to become the best doctors they can be. They claim that even though their schedules are just as packed that their effort seems infused with purpose.

■ ■ Deep inside the cavern of the house, namely, my room, I was busy at work on a so-called masterpiece. The room was dimly lit, boxed in, increasing my sense of claustrophobia. The walls were tinted; their tanned, menacing straightness was taunting me, as though they were whis-pering, “Can you handle it? Will your painting take the crown? It lacks per-fection.” The air was puls-ing with the sound of clas-sical music, a tune com-monly known to my senses, a tune which nor-mally soothed and calmed them, but not now. My hair was in a knotted mop, loosely tousled, with a hint of Einstein, and I gesticulated madly with the paintbrush in my hands, as though I were the Maestro of the orchestra myself. The portrait was near complete; the sight of it sent a warm rush of blood to my face and cheeks. I blushed at the fact that I had created such a delicate, splendid work of art. It was exploding with color, magnificent in every way.

Every curve, angle, dimension, and texture echoed beauty. The painting was perfectly symmet-rical, from the old cabin stretched out on a prairie of dewy grass, to the crystal lake that shimmered in turquoise. The clouds were realistic enough, tufts of feathery white. One might think they would cry and shower the scene in a shroud. The cabin appeared as though one had pasted oak wood onto the portrait and crafted it onto the canvas.

The landscape scene was breathtaking, but what caught my eye and returned my breath were two rusty brown spots right in the middle of the portrait! I immediately turned away in horror, realizing that the painting had now lost its sheen and glamour. I sprang to fetch a towel much like a snake springs onto its prey, and began wiping at the spots, almost thrashing at them. I was sure that the towel would gnaw through the canvas by the time I was finished, but the painting was already ruined and so was my inspiration. I had smeared the rusty brown over everything, and the scene was dreadful, a gruesome hue overtook it; it now seemed dead and miserable, like the artist who created it.

Confessions of a Perfectionist by Leen Raddaoui

Since then, instances have come where I was prompted to wipe the spots away. Earlier, a child presented to me a note of appreciation which she wrote for her mother, so that I could give her my opinion on it. The words, full of adoration

and meaning seemed unre-fined and immature when written with such terrible handwriting. S’s were writ-ten backwards, the child al-ternated between capital and lowercase letters, and the entire note appeared to be a scribbled mess, with no proper form. The child’s spelling was atrocious, hence I took charge. I typed out the letter, proofread and edited it, then printed it out. What was left was a regular A4 sized paper with print on it. The warmth and love it previously had were relin-

quished; any spots of silly cuteness expressing the child’s youth were wiped out, and it was no longer unique to its writer. The errors themselves are what had given the letter its value, and given it a reason to hold as dear remem-brance.

Another instance occurred when our family was invited to meet my uncle’s new wife. Her first reaction upon seeing us was to shriek like a banshee at the top of her lungs and prance like a weary ballerina with a stubbed toe towards us. She was very strange; she was incredibly tall (a foot taller than he was) with messy, fiery red hair, and glow-ing orange freckles that covered her face. She snorted when she giggled, and laughed at almost

everything we said. Her ultimate demonstration of awk-wardness was when she back-flipped and cart-wheeled to the kitchen, which made our hair stand on end. All my uncle ever did was smile; he was satisfied with her exactly the way she was. Her spots, or imperfections, were exactly what made him propose! He never tried to wipe them away, for they made her unique, and in his eyes, perfect.

Through remembrance of these events, I became certain of this: in imperfection lies uniqueness, and in uniqueness lies beauty. Spots may be considered defects by some, but wip-ing the spots away forces out the warmth and originality that they provide. So you self-doubting artists, hear this: in your flaws you may find true perfection, a perfection that is ironically imperfect.

A Cure for Cancer from a 17 Year Old? ■■You don’t need to be a high ranking professor or a prestigious researcher to change the world. Angela Zhang, a 17-

year-old high school student in California, proves that this statement is true as she might have just found the cure to

cancer. “I created a nanoparticle that’s kind of like the Swiss Army knife of cancer treatment in that it can detect can-

cer cells, eradicate the cancer cells and then monitor the treatment response. So the major aim of the project was to

personalize cancer medicine,” Zhang told ABC News.

Glow-in-the-Dark Surgery ■■Surgeons have always had this special relationship with light, since you can’t make an incision inside the body in darkness. Most of the time surgeons do a great job but sometimes there’s that little bit of cancer surgeons weren’t able to excise, simply because they couldn’t see it. These surgeons learn anatomy from textbooks that show veins, arteries and nerves in different colors but in reality everything is pretty much red. To eliminate that, Doctors Quyen Nguyen and Roger Tsien have created color-coded surgery. These “glow-in-the-dark” fluorescent molecule markers can help surgeons identify whether the tumor has been completely removed and transform tumor surgery so cancer treatment can be more effective and prevent further damage.

Recharge Your Heart Ventricles ■■We’ve all heard about rechargeable batteries and even more recently rechargeable cars, but rechargeable hearts is definitely something new. Imagine going to bed at night plugging in your Blackberry, your Macbook, and right next to it your heart! The all new Ventrasisst, also known as the Left Ventricle Assist Device can replace your ventricles and help pump blood up to 9.5 liters per minute. 50-year old Angelo Tigano received Australia’s first Total Artificial Heart implant giving hope to many on the transplant waiting list.

MRI Smartphones for Tumor Screening ■■Spot a suspicious lump? Gone are the days when you had to book an appointment with your oncologist to check out that lump on your axilla. All thanks to doctors at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, you can now use an app with its mini nuclear magnetic resonance machine operated by your very own smartphone or tab-let and get the results within 60 minutes! This small system only requires a small amount of tissue for testing and can detect up to 12 tumor markers. The app still is under testing but experts say it will be available soon at a doctor’s of-fice near you.

Cockroaches Vs. Bacteria ■■Next time you see that eight-legged cockroach running across your kitchen floor, don’t kill it! According to research-

ers at the University of Nottingham in the UK, these ugly creatures can save your life by substituting as antibiotics.

Studies show that powerful antibiotics present in the brains of cockroaches and locusts are able to destroy more than

90 percent of bacteria including the deadly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, all without

harming your normal human cells. This may greatly help in treatment of many patients; however, it won’t be available

for a few more years as tests are still ongoing.

Alfaisal Leadership: Dr. Muhammad Atif Mazhar and Dr. Sadia Qazi Please introduce yourselves. Dr.Sadia: I am from Karachi, Pakistan where I worked as a lec-turer at Dow University of Health Sciences aside from other medical schools over 6-7 years. Dr.Muhammed: I am a uro-anatomist from Pakistan and my hobby is anatomy. Teaching anatomy through dissection is my passion, which I can truly see here as there are plenty of materi-als and the students are excellent. I am really enjoying a lot and feel at home. Why teaching? Dr.Sadia: Although in the past teaching was for those who did not get the chance to be in the clinical side, nowadays, it is necessary and more relaxing. Teaching also provides me with time to spend with my family. Dr.Muhammed: As Dr. Sadia said, teaching should be a continuous process – if you subtract teaching from your clinical skills and your knowledge, then you probably can’t convey what you learn over a period of time. Teaching keeps you on track and makes you feel like a student yourself. Do your kids know that you dissect cadavers? Dr.Sadia: Yes, and they want to come to the dissection room. My eldest daughter is seven years old and it may be that she knows more anatomy than you do! Dr.Muhammed: They’re interested because they’ve seen dissection rooms back home. My daughter’s first book was probably an anatomy atlas!

What was your most memorable moment in your teaching career? Dr.Sadia: In 2010 when I was awarded one of the best teachers in the department. Is being husband-wife an advantage or disadvantage during work? Dr.Muhammed: I think it is a big advantage. When preparing a lecture, it helps to brain-storm our ideas together. Normally, there isn’t anyone to share your ideas with but when both of us have the option to be on the same page, we can sit down and make a plan. Dr.Sadia: Whenever I prepare something for labs or a lecture, we sit and review the mate-rial together. What were your first impressions of Alfaisal? Dr.Sadia: It was superb - the building, the atmosphere and the students.

If there is anything you could change about Alfaisal, what would it be? Dr.Muhammed: As an addition to the facilities, I would like to have a very strong library and a very good gym. What do you think about Alfaisal students in general? Dr.Sadia: The students are very nice, cooperative, and eager to learn. What are your thoughts on female vs. male students? Dr.Muhammed: Five fingers are not equal; not all boys are excellent and not all girls are excellent. But what I have seen is that the girls are more inclined towards studying. In dissections skills, the boys I have seen are more eager than the girls. A memorable moment… Dr.Muhammed: When Dr. Sadia visited a university and went to say hello to the chairman, our four-year-old daughter was able to name all the bones and muscles of the upper limb – the chairman then jokingly asked the secretary to appoint her as a lecturer in the anatomy department! “Voice yourself!” Dr.Muhammed: Students, you should really work hard, but life is not as difficult as you think. Dr.Sadia: It is better to review the topic before the lecture, but if you’re left behind, don’t feel upset; just cover it up on weekends.
