Professor Amir Nisar's Ethos & Quotes summing up his Practice . . .
Professor Amir Nisar
May God Bless All The Patients
“A patient is not in the hospital because of me: I am in the hospital because of the patient”
"A surgeon committing to a patient to do his best must keep his promise, when the patient is unaware; in the ward and especially in theatres; otherwise, the surgeon was lying to his patient."
"The patient is always right; always listen to the patients and their families. They should be well informed and part of the decision-making as well as management planning "
"May God bless all my patients and allow me to serve them with humanity & humility and may He protect them from any harm or complications in my hands "

Surgeon
“I do not just operate; I live it.”
“A surgeon is human; a technician, plumber, or like a mechanic; he needs divine help to achieve good outcomes. Devine help only comes with piety. The surgeon must ensure piety (five point) of his hands, eyes, tongue, thoughts, and heart to get God’s help to get good outcomes.”

Team
“Each and every member of a team is a specialist in his/her own field and should be valued and respected”
“Together we rise; individually we fail and fall”
“A surgeon by himself is only a physician; he can only be a surgeon within a team; anesthetist, assisting surgeons, nurses, CSSDs & stores managers, porters and many other staff”
“Always respect the things that make other people respect you; my anesthetists, my surgical doctors, nurses, and allied staff are my friends and my heroes; individually, I am nothing, together we deliver and serve.’’

Operation Theatre Environment
“Operating is like worship; we wash our hands, cover our head and hands, clean up and enter into clean and holy territories of a fellow human being; a mechanic working on God’s machine; which another profession on the face of earth comes closer to this?”
“Our conduct in theatres should be as if the patient and his relatives are watching us; even if they are not, Allah is.”
“Deep waters run calm; the more difficult the situation in theatre, the calmer a good surgeon and leader will be”
“Unnecessary and avoidable distractions in theatre in some cases may not compromise the quality of work; however, it’s deeply disrespectful to God and his precious creation, asleep on the table.”
“ Any individual creating distraction or stress in theatre is a lowly coward; playing with patient's safety, outcome, and maybe life. One would never do it if his/her loved one were there on the table at that time.”

Fakeeh University Hospital
“Being a champion means that a person is a member of a good organisation and an excellent team. A good surgeon will always associate himself with the best organisation, which is supportive of its clinicians, caring for the patients and ethical impractice; Fakeeh University Hospital Dubai excels in all three aspects.”
“Wishes will remain a few jotted lines on a wish list unless backed by finances, will, and ethos to be the best. In Fakeeh University Hospital, we probably have the best equipment for Laparoscopic surgery anywhere in the Middle East or Europe; it speaks volumes about the patient care ethos of this hospital's management and surgeons”.

Surgery is God’s work
“NASA engineers must be very proud of themselves; they work on man-made machines. As a surgeon, I am prouder; I work on God’s machine.”
“Surgery brings a surgeon closer to God; the effort is the surgeon’s and his team’s; the healing is from God and may all the Glory be to Him”
“As a surgeon, I am merely a plumber, and I do my bit with God’s blessing; God heals the patients; Glory to Allah.”
“Surgeons have to have the heart of a lion, the eyes of an eagle and hands of an artist. In addition, a good surgeon will have to have the mind and attitude of a selfless and humble Darwesh.”
