UK Surgeon Thanks the Canadian Truckers
'You gave me hope when I sorely needed it.'
Dr. Ahmad Malik is a Scottish-born orthopedic surgeon. He specializes in foot and ankle surgery, and currently runs a clinic in London, UK. During his 25-year career, he has established training programs for the next generation of surgeons, been part of the medical team for the 2012 London Olympics, and assisted earthquake victims.

I am forever grateful
