A 20-second video has been viewed by more than 16 million people. I didn't even know when or who recorded the video, but like many of you, it caught my attention. It captured a moment when I was crying.
āHonestly, with all of your blessings, I've performed many operations in my life, but nothing like this has ever happened. You all have made this a truly memorable event in my life. The patient you saw in the video was not the one I was operating on. The patient was a man named Abul Kasem, who came to my office with a massive thyroid tumor. I learned of his sufferingāhe had lived with this tumor for 45 years of his 65-year life. In his final years, unable to bear the pain any longer, he came to me. He had sleepless nights, and his suffering seemed endless.
āHis story of pain deeply moved me. With his consent, the blessings of everyone, and by taking a life-threatening risk with a large team, we completed his operation successfully, by the grace of God. I am grateful to all who helped me and to the Almighty, who used me to successfully complete such a major operation.
āAbul Kasem is a father of seven, and when his children abroad heard about the surgery, many of them rushed back. When they heard from me that the operation was a success, they were overwhelmed with joy, crying tears of relief. They prostrated themselves in prayer to God in gratitude. Seeing their emotional reaction, I couldn't control myself. I was reminded of my own father. I also love my father dearly, and it had been only three months since he passed away. I haven't been able to forget him for a single moment. I felt as if my father was watching me perform the operation from above. That's why my expression of joy came out as tears.
āThis massive operation will truly be a memorable day in my life. Thank you, everyone.
