Dr. Adel Sajwani celebrates 43 years of challenges and insight.

On his 43rd birthday, Dr. Adel Saeed Sajwani, a family medicine consultant and renowned health content creator, shared a candid post full of reflection and realism. He wrote, “On my birthday last year, I mentioned that I was at the peak of my achievements, but this year, the situation is completely the opposite. Glory be to God, how things can change in a year.” The words reflected a moment of self-reflection and acknowledgment of life’s ups and downs, but he concluded with a hopeful message: “Is this something to despair about? Of course not. That’s life. You don’t appreciate success until you experience failure.”

Fun spirit and funny situation with Messi

In another post on the same occasion, Dr. Sajwani added a humorous touch when he commented on a frequently heard phrase: “So everyone who tells me ‘your birthday is on the same day as Messi’s’… First of all, Messi is younger than me, meaning his birthday is on the same day as me, not the other way around!” He continued jokingly: “Second of all, when you get sick, Messi can’t do you any good. In the end, he retires and turns off the lights all the time, and everyone forgets about him, but no one forgets me because I am Messi’s personal doctor.” With his spontaneous and endearing style, he was able to combine humor and professional identity at the same time.
