A Little Bit About Me
I'm a 29 y old single orthopedic surgeon from Middle East, Lebanon. I'll be in Brisbane from July 2021 to July 2022 for the purpose of sub-specialising in shoulder surgery (I signed up a fellowship contract with an Australian shoulder surgeon working in Brisbane Private Hospital). I may or may not extend my stay beyond July 2022 according to circumstances and opportunities in Australia/other overseas countries.
I'm a humble, hard-working, individual who's scaling up the ladder of achievements and success. I grew up in a family of 5 children, with a father who worked as a taxi driver.. I had to work at an early age, as early as 12 years old, to spare him from spending money on me, and to help him support my mother and siblings. I worked at several laborious jobs for most of my second decade, and well into my twenties. I took work shifts along with school attendance, and most of the time there was timing conflict between the two schedules. Despite that, I managed to catch up at school and I excelled. I scored the first rank in Lebanese Republic in the official examination of the secondary degree (Baccalaureate).
I went to Medicine. Finished medicine and went to surgery. Then from general surgery to orthopedic surgery. Now I'm further specialising specifically in shoulder surgery: doing operations to the so many different diseases of the shoulder.
I can describe myself as an opportunist(in the positive sense of the word): My contract with Brisbane Private Hospital is a recent example of seizing an opportunity and working on it to happen. I don't believe in pure luck. I believe in pure intent, and lots of hard work.
I'm a strategic planner: I know exactly what I want in life. However, I leave room for spontaneity..I usually don't over-calculate things: I have the full outline in mind, but I leave details to deal with later, each at its proper time.. my presence on this Muslim dating site is an example!
Apart from my practicality and abstract attitude, I enjoy poetry, spirituality, and fine arts. I have a strong tendency to read books about comparative theology and world literature.
My time is always occupied. Despite that, I manage to spare time to family, friends, and colleagues. I'm sociable and out-going. I gained much experience in dealing with people. I raised this experience from my early years of working in different jobs and fields, and from seeing and treating patients.
In terms of values, I think that "family" is a priority in a doctor's life. I can see no excuse for any doctor not to have time for his wife and kids. Every person sets his own priorities! And I have set mine!
As with hobbies, I don't do sports :). Probably because our job requires intense physical power and endurance: we stand up all day wearing a 30-40 kg apron that protects us from X ray radiations inside the operating room. Also, our operations involve a lot of traction and pushing, and so many hammering and drilling. These are analogous to aerobic exercises!
I owe all the past 30 years of my life, with everything that occured in it, to God. And to Him I owe the rest of it. I might not be a strictly religious person, and probably I skip a lot of rituals, but I abide by religious morals, mostly by instinct. Morality is my "playground". I treat myself, people, animals, nature, etc... with ethics.. this has become a dogmatic principle in my personality.

What I Am Looking For
It's time to start a family! I'm looking for a wife whose qualities are similar to mine. I don't have any specific requirement concerning profession: medical or non-medical.
Similarities in personality, interests, and culture are really important. We should meet on a basic level, and build up from there. we should understand that we can't change each other, except probably in minor details. We are what we are, either we accept each other from the beginning, or not! For instance, my sect is Shia, not Sunni. I may accept the ideologies of a Sunni woman, but the inverse may not be true. So please decide if you and your family accept a Shi'ite before messaging me/replying to my message. Always remember: when you are marrying someone, you are marrying a new culture as well. We already have a drawback in this point, as I am from a middle-eastern culture and you are from an Australian one! So let's not stack up the other differences...
