Other than operating, I love to teach and have trained many a surgeons in basic and advanced laparoscopic surgeries. I have been fortunate to share my experiences and laparoscopic skills with surgeons from other countries too.
I love music, and by God’s grace, I can play almost all musical instruments, like the saxophone, flute, harmonica, piano, drums, guitar etc. I am a fitness freak. I have been weight training for the last 25 years and have been practicing an Israeli form of self defence called ‘Krav Maga’.
