I read, I write, I stay up all night.

No, contrary to the popular beliefs, doctors don't save lives. They just spend their time doing their best to provide care.

Basically, that's what I'm doing.

I'm an avid book reader, full-time pediatrician, and part-time writer.

My days revolve around meetings, outpatients, morning (and sometime late night) rounds, reading books, cooking, and writing.

Medicine is my passion and I'm thrilled to see that there is no limit for this field! Deep down, public health holds a dear place, but now I am excited about Pediatrics. I do believe that children are the future of our nation and thus, we have to let them flourish to their highest potential.

I currently reside in the megapolitan Jakarta. The air is somewhat polluted and the public transportation still needs a lot of work. But at the end of the day, it's home.
