A Diamond Forged Through Fire
A birthday tribute to three decades of growing up together I met Nidhi when I was eighteen and thought I knew everything. She was nineteen and my resident assistant at the University of South Florida, already carrying losses that would have broken most people twice her age. Her father passed the previous year. Her twin…

This Is My Protest: A Call for Moral Reckoning
Another American has died—shot down in the street. A U.S. citizen. An ICU nurse. A helper. A human being. When I watch the video of what happened to Alex Pretti, what really strikes me isn’t just the senselessness of it — it’s how ordinary and humane his actions appeared in that moment. Alex wasn’t running…

Why I Got Into Real Estate (Even as a Devoted Oncologist)
Reflections on identity, burnout, financial freedom — and the horror stories that taught me resilience Recently, I was at a casual get‑together when a friend asked me an interesting question: “You’re an oncologist — you help patients every day.

Every Sunday Morning Might Be the Last
Yesterday morning, I played basketball for the first time in over a month—coming off yet another knee injury in what’s been a year of on-and-off playing. We ran for almost two hours, and by the end, I was completely wiped out—physically useless until this Monday morning. But as drained as I felt, I also felt…

The Third Space: Finding Balance Between Work, Home, and Spirituality
Just a quick update before diving in: I’ll be starting at AdventHealth on December 1st, 2025, and I’m really looking forward to this next chapter.

This is “Hocking” Hard: 22,000 Steps, the Value of Struggle and Saturn
One of the unexpected gifts of doing locums work is the chance to explore corners of the country I might never have otherwise visited. Recently, I had the chance to spend a weekend with my family in Columbus, Ohio and just south of it, in the hidden gem of Hocking Hills State Park. Columbus itself is…
