The first email I got from Aasia when, long ago, she solved her first case, was: “Wow I will show this to my dad”. Her Dad had been worried about Aasia branching of to a private clinic. Well, today, Aasia you can show your dad that you are doing VERY well. Aasia (her dad is a diplomat who obviously likes to represent Asia) is married to a radiologist and I met them both 2 years ago in India.
