Twenty-two years ago, at The Aga Khan University Hospital Dr. Saulat performed a life-saving open-heart surgery on a 4-year-old boy from rural Sindh, who was suffering from Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex congenital heart condition. This month, that same patient returned to the hospital—not as a patient, but as Dr. Saulat’s intern in cardiothoracic surgery. The remarkable reunion reflects a full-circle moment, where a life once saved has now come back to learn and contribute in the same medical field.
