MedShr: What do you love about your job?

Dr. Daruwalla: I love showing care and compassion to my patients and alleviating their burden of illness if and when I can. Together with what I call soft skills in the practice and art of medicine, I am very excited to be part of the digital revolution!

Dr. Daruwalla : Administrative, organisational and packing skills!

MedShr: Why do you use MedShr?
