A Day in the Life - Dr. Syed Abdullah Al-Haddad

Let's start with this: your brain has no pain receptors.

Now imagine someone cutting into your brain and excising tumours as you're awake on an operating table, speaking to the people in the room.

This week, we take a peek into the life of that someone you'd be trusting your life to - consultant neurosurgeon Dr Syed Abdullah Al-Haddad from Sunway Medical Centre. From injury consultations to ground breaking procedures, we learn what he does. Join us for A Day in the Life of a Doctor, this Friday at 4.45 p.m.
