The Medical Illustrator (Part 1) Link
I hesitated, "Was it supposed to be a secret?"
"No, no," he laughed heartily, "But not many people know that. Only my close friends who are doctors know that I draw surgical drawings. How did you find out? Is your dad a doctor?"
I told him about my dad's friend who had informed him. That neither my dad nor his friend were doctors.
He was deep in thought. "That's strange. I didn't think anyone else would know."
I nodded, unsure what to say. So I started with my lines, while presenting the coloured manuscript to him.
I explained about my project while he patiently listened. He said that he had seen the ALIEN Biz blog. And Alhamdulillah, he had such excellent views on it! He said that the artworks were fantastic and this effort was commendable.
My heart was still beating wildly but it had positively glowed. I thanked Allah silently for such an opportunity and an amazing response.
He leafed through several pages of the manuscript I had given him. He gave a few comments and raised several important and crucial legal publishing issues. Not only did he agree to look at the drawings, but he also agreed to look at the content. So when I asked if he would review the whole book, he smiled in agreement and replied, "When do you want it back?"
After arranging for the next meeting, I stood up to leave. He asked me one final question; "Why did you start this?" I explained about needing to raise the funds for a project for the Somali refugees and how I sold my notes to raise the money and how it had escalated to this.
At the door, I asked quite seriously if I needed to pay for this consultation (I just wanted to make sure since I didn't think I'd have the money for it). But he only laughed warmly and I smiled (though still confused).
I closed the door behind me, smiled non-stop and walked with a spring every step of the way back out.
