- Soul of my Surgeon. Title of a painting by Ayesha Shariff, Amir’s wife in 2007. Hauntingly captures the essence of surgical practice. And now, shares a part of Amir’s immortal soul with us. RIP @amirshariffmd @AKUGlobal #surgery @YaleSurgery @YaleSurgRes

- There is a saying that if you want to truly understand someones impact, legacy, and how they are loved - see how many come to their funeral. Morbid perhaps, but true. The large mosque for Amir's funeral prayers was not enough for the people there. RIP & jannati @amirshariffmd
- Zulfiqar Bhutta has been an inspirational mentor to so many of us and continues to do so with his impactful, immense contributions. Simple message from him last evening - don’t accept No; don’t rush the process; and don’t chase after success @AKUGlobal
