to the most successful orthopedic surgeon in the Kingdom.
Dr. Fayez Filemban: From a failed student in Canada to the most successful orthopedic surgeon in the Kingdom, Dr. Fayez Filemban, a famous orthopedic surgeon, with a special charisma, made him qualified to convince his patients of everything he saw. Had it not been for his wife''s insistence, he would have turned into a failing student at the Royal Canadian College, which gave me the wisdom that success does not mean scoring continuous points, but rather making sure to highlight these points that may disappear in a crowded world where no one sees you. I was not just a writer who wanted to Success is made in Dr. Fayez’s home, but rather one of a family that is kept by a mother and wife, and in which children compete in which no one is jealous of the other.
In the house of Dr. Fayez Filemban in Jeddah, everything seemed to be an answer to the question of Matrouh, a house surrounded by a garden whose hero cactus plant looks from everywhere, as if it confirms the challenge and determination. Faiz? Sometimes we accept the challenge with a little water, and a lot of will. I had in mind what was written in the newspapers and what I know about the surgeon who made success even though the path was not paved. I knew that I was entering a dialogue with a poet, painter and musician, not just a famous doctor. I was wondering how a single person could carry all this volcano, I felt as I interviewed him that I was one of the family members, and discovered that the surgeon standing in front of him is not alone, but behind him is his mother and his wife, the one who had a chance to participate in monitoring the story.
This was not the first time that I met Filemban, as I gathered his news a while ago, entered his electronic forum, read his medical and poetic interventions, knew him more through his friends and intimate posts, and read his news archive in newspapers.
News of his making discoveries that were not prepared for other foreign counterparts, and talk about his skill in orthopedic surgery, and talk about his local value as a Saudi orthopedic surgeon, and about his distinguished position as a surgeon who distinguished by combining plastic art and medicine, a privilege not available to others.
All this erupted once in the meeting that brought us together with his big house in Jeddah, that meeting that turned into company and not just neighborhood. And I still remember the words of Dr. Al-Sabahi saying that I, as they say, are a morning person, I love the beginnings of things, I love the morning and I do not like the sunset, I love the sunshine, I love the light and the dawn, this gives me a kind of strange activity, I do not like the sight of the sunset.
Articulated stage
I told him, trying to take him from the days to the evening he loved: Do you not like staying up late? He said: I have a wonderful story about staying up late. God plagued me with stuttering in speech. I remember in the second middle grade, in grammar class, my teacher asked me, but I could not speak even though I knew the answer. I had participated in the program “Our Students in the Field” on the Saudi TV as a The excellent students are part of a team of students at the elementary level, and when I reached the second intermediate grade, I was surprised by this articulated position.
As if staying up late was linked in Dr. Fayez''s mind to pain, mobilization and persistence. I told him, and I wanted to take him into the morning again: How did I cross the distance between a humble house in Makkah and a child suffering stuttering in speech to a verified doctor, and a large house, he said: I was born in a house My people in Makkah are no more than thirty meters in area. I was the only one of my mother and my father. I have neither brothers nor sisters, my mother was a teacher, and I compensated for my loss to the brothers. I was with my uncle Abdul Hamid, who was close to me in age and worked as a teacher, and my uncle Abdul Rahman - may God have mercy on him - was eight years older And when I got married, I hoped to have ten children, and I became six, and thank God, I have five of my offspring.
I was reading the pictures hanging on the walls, and I carried my eyes questions and questions, and the doctor quickly understood her and said: This is Loay, and this is my daughter Bashayer, and this is merciful, and this Abdulaziz, Abdulaziz is of the temperamental type, everything from his head settles him.
This is my mother, this is my grandmother, and this is my father, part of my family. I have long spent time away from them for my travels and work.
My father is one of the pioneers of education in Taif
I studied in Taif, where my father used to work as a teacher, and by the way my father was one of the first to establish education in Taif, he and Professor Abdullah Al-Hussain, Professor Muhammad Ali Janabi, Professor Al-Abadi, Professor Abdul-Hay Safadi, and Professor Saeed Al-Ghamdi, these established education in the Taif region, Professor Abdullah Al-Hussain He was the director of education at that time, my father was a study of the Qur’an, and about four years after his appointment he married the mother, and he took her with him to Taif, and I was born there. I lived in Taif almost all my life. We used to go to Mecca in the summer, I am a person of my nature very open and free, and fun Very, you can not call me an introverted expression when I was young. I remember my classmates, Saleh al-Jabri, and he was with me until high school, and he entered the communications institute and became an advocate, and I communicate with him, and Abdel-Wahhab Dahwan, who is Yemeni and was on a high degree of intelligence, I did not find like her, he was with me then He left Saudi Arabia and his news was cut off, and then I heard that he is the ruler of the governorate of Ma''rib, then his news ceased again, and I met the Yemeni consul and gave him his phone number, but he did not answer, and I do not know his way, we were in the Yemeni school, and I remember that we had a teacher named Jamil Al-Jafri, who is alive. May Allah give him well He used to study drawing, and he used to give us the duty and hit us if we fell short in it, and although drawing was not a basic subject, he was punished as a basic material and forced us to respect it, and it was intense in drawing lessons, and I loved drawing and I learned from it, drawing embodies your personality in painting, you can To define the features of your life, this helped me a lot in my work, I remember that King Faisal, may God have mercy on him, received the Sudanese President Muhammad Al-Azhari in Taif, and Al-Jafri was drawing a painting for King Faisal, and I learned from him how to paint the painting. Al-Jafri affected me even in my work now. And craftsmanship, my work is all drawing, crafting by hand, I use drawing to make artificial joints, and it cannot look like another joint.
Dr. Fayez is silent as if he wants to remember those flags who passed through his life, then he speaks as if he arrived at what he wanted:
Sheikh Saleh Al-Haidan used to see me as a son and not a doctor, and I saw him as a human being and not as the head of the Supreme Council at the time, and he used to blame me for being late to contacting him, saying: Why do you ask about me, not on holidays or on occasions, or in fatwas? Childhood, in middle school I stopped speaking permanently, I used to do wall papers being a talented painter, the critical stage in my life that I stopped talking, and I started crying, this day affected my life positively, blew my will, there is nothing impossible except what made him God is impossible. I completed my studies at the University of Riyadh and got an excellent grade. I failed the college. In the first months, Dr. Mohsen Al-Hazmi was studying for me. He studied medicine and was a specialist in biochemistry, and he was one of the Saudi signs. I went to him and I show him my problem of failure in Months, he told me, my brother Zakir.
Painter''s dream
Dr. Fayez stares into space, saying: My ambition was not to be a doctor, but to paint, to become a painter, to an engineer, but the family’s ambition focuses on becoming a doctor, and we have if there is a doctor in the family, it is a cause for joy, and I responded to the wishes of my father and mother, then I loved Medicine after that, my father taught me Al-Ridha, he was a struggling human being, in Taif we were considered middle class, we used to live in a house made of mud bricks, but there was electricity in it, but before that in Makkah we lived in Al Misfalah neighborhood, and the whole center was almost on one level In Taif, medicine had not yet reached what it had reached these days, they were afraid of me from the famous viruses in the region that was widespread at that time my mother’s book, my mother had a book and she loves to teach without studying, and her book graduated famous: Brigadier Muhammad Al-Ghamdi, and the Appendix The Saudi in Canada, Dr. Booker Cindy, my mother taught me discipline and the reverence of work, there are moral things, I consider myself to have high charisma, these helped me to serve my patients, many patients come to you and you help them, but you cannot make a decision, this is a problem facing some doctors, charisma She helped me convince the patient of the exact thing, I am convinced Nothing is impossible except what God made impossible.
My marriage is traditional
In the fifth year of medical school my mother told me that she had engaged to me and my father, and my father was very interested in this marriage. I was afraid that I would choose so that it would not come against my mother''s mood. I was the only mother and father. She is a sane woman who got her high school and stopped teaching, I used to leave her in Canada for days. She studied in Montreal at the University of Magell. Training in Canada is very strong, and it gives you high self-confidence, and that university is one of the major Canadian universities, as it stands in the ranks of universities The big American like Harvard, California, and I have changed a lot in my life.
And because I found it an opportunity to open up another field for conversation, I asked him, Who of the athletes remember that you treated him?
He said: I have treated a lot, including players from Al-Ahly, Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal, but I am a federation, but I do not have sports, and I love poetry.
My message in Montreal General Hospital to my wife and he recounts my memory of him, and he says I was writing to Louay’s mother many things that she kept in her old cellphone, words of flirtation and feelings. And I remember on a cold winter night in Canada, where the temperature is 40 degrees below zero, I was on duty at Montreal General Hospital, and the hospital’s capacity is 1,400 beds, and the accompanying stressful work. The following: “Dear ... they brought us to this desolate country except from this snow and ice, and we are like those who were told: Come on, plant a palm tree here, in this snowy bottom, and on the palm tree if it bears fruit, from where does it bear fruit, not the land? Her land, the air, her air, and the water are her water. ”I gave her my message on the second day, and I wished she had cried sympathetically, but she did not, because she laughed at me and said:“ It is only a difficult day, and it will not be the last. ”I was surprised I did it and I was saying to myself where this comes from Women with this measure of resilience and cohesion. Years later, I realized that she was dripping blood inside her whenever I got tired, but she withheld all of that in support and preservation of every new gain. This was the case for most of the scholarship wives.
First born
When I saw his eldest son, Luay, who attended the meeting, I asked him about his sense of him at the time as his first child, and he said on his shoulders: Luay
