ABSTRACT

I have to go back a long time. My father and two of my brothers were medical doctors. The three of them were radiologists. I was a very poor student. I wanted to be a medical doctor but I didn’t want to be compared with other members of the family, so I decided to do pharmacy first. I began pharmacy and after that I decided to get a medical degree. Given my training in pharmacy, I knew something about drugs at this time, when I went into medicine.
