Dr. Hamda Alzarooni, a passionate General Surgeon & Breast Surgery Fellow at Groote Schuur Hospital, is a regular volunteer at our surgery catch-up lists.
As a happy soul (something she’d like to be remembered by), we can wholeheartedly say that since joining the #flamingofamily in 2023, she’s inspired us all with her optimism, courage and can-do attitude.
When was your first Flamingo list? 23 October 2023

When you are not at work, what do you enjoy doing most in your free time? I love to learn and I love being active. So I spend my time between yoga, and reading books and my latest obsession is pottery.

What advice do you have for young people starting their medical careers? Your attitude at work will make you or break you no matter how smart you are
What's the best advice someone's ever given you? And did you follow it? My husband advised me not to do Hepatobiliary as a subspecialty and to do breast surgery instead. Well, here I am :)
What is the one thing you want your patients to know? We always do our best for them.
Is there is philosophy you live by? Life is short. Live your dreams.
