Rest in peace Dr Yusuf Kodwavwalla aka Dr Yusuf Dawood. I grew up reading your 'Surgeon's Diary' article in the Sunday Nation and I wanted to be a surgeon badly when I grow up, but marks zilikataa.

Surgeon's Diary ran for 38 years, meaning the column and I are close age mates. Dr Dawood stayed in Kenya for 57 years before he relocated to the United Kingdom. He will be sincerely missed. Ina Lillah wa Inna Illahi Rajioun
