This is Guka - A Hero Passes On...

Field Marshal

Elder Lister
Dr Yusuf Dawood Kodwavwalla, who for 38 years wrote the Surgeon's Diary in the Sunday Nation, passed on on Sunday in the UK. He was 94.

The good doctor probably inspired more than half of Kenya's current medics to pursue the profession with his witty and humorous pieces.

Personally, he inspired me into writing, and prolly my fascination too with the female breast; daktari was a surgeon speacilising in the female anatomy.

May he rest well.
