'A thrilling and absorbing read from first to last. What a life and
what an inspiration.' STEPHEN FRY'Anyone who reads Dr Arian's
remarkable memoir will put it down inspired by the immense power
and resilience of the human will.' KHALED HOSSEINI__________Born in
war-torn Afghanistan, Waheed Arian's earliest memories are of
bombs. Fleeing the conflict with his family, he spent much of his
childhood in refugee camps in Pakistan, living sometimes ten to a
room without basic sanitation or access to education. After he
contracted tuberculosis, his first-hand experience of the power of
medicine inspired Waheed to dedicate his life to heaing others. But
how does a boy with nothing hope to become a doctor?Waheed largely
taught himself, from textbooks bought from street-sellers, and
learned English from the BBC World Service. Smuggled to the UK at
fifteen with just $100 in his pocket, he found a job in a shop. He
was advised to set his sights on becoming a taxi driver. But the
boy from Kabul had bigger ambitions.Working through PTSD and
anxiety, he studied all hours to achieve his vocation. He was
accepted to read medicine at Cambridge University, Imperial College
and Harvard, and went on to become a doctor in the NHS. But he
wanted to do more. In 2015 he founded Arian Teleheal, a pioneering
global charity that connects doctors in war zones and low-resource
countries with their counterparts in the US, UK, Europe and
Australia. Together, learning from each other, they save and change
lives - the lives of millions of people just like Waheed.This is
the extraordinary memoir of a boy who dreamed about helping others,
a tale of courage, ambition and unwavering resilience against all
odds.
