Tribute to a terrific professor

Down memory lane : Prof Delilkan (centre, in black shirt) with his former students, all anaesthesiologists from around the country including Prof Marzida (right) and Assoc Prof Mohd Basri (second from right). The writer Dr Rao is in red shirt (foreground).

HE claims to be a millionaire but he measures his wealth not in monetary terms but in the pride and satisfaction of seeing his students succeed and shine.

Prof Datuk Dr Alex Delilkan, is one of the few anaesthesiologists who never left for private practice despite the lures of an attractive salary.
