Guest: Dr Belal KamelSurgeon, Medical Illustrator, Business Leader and Dundee University Alumni Ambassador for Asia and Africa  We pick up Dr. Belal Kamel’s extraordinary story as it took a very different direction in October 2007.   Belal was in his last year in medical school, when his right forearm and hand were crushed in a glass door. More than five tendons and muscles were injured in the accident.    After the reconstructive surgery, Belal’s hand was in a splint for over four months. It was in this difficult time that a strange thing happened: Belal found that he was able to draw.   This podcast uncovers Belal’s extraordinary journey as surgeon, medical illustrator and leader; sharing lessons learned and advice for others faced with adversity, in tapping into hidden talents and digging deep to build resilience.     Belal now continues to practice as a plastic surgeon and as a world-renowned medical illustrator.
