Change is a constant phenomenon. The changes that I have seen in the last 65 years of my medical career, and as to how they have influenced my personality, are interesting to look back. My initial years of student life were mostly non-serious, dedicated only to passing examinations and becoming a doctor, with no clear objectives. But coming in contact with seniors and elders during the house job and seeing suffering patients-andfamilies, changed the direction of my life. Initially, I was in the junior orthopedic job - not by choice but by what was available - followed by travels for earnings and a desire to specialize. I ended up in England in 1965, where again a massive change of atmosphere influenced my direction, which has lingered on till today.
