Stories from the “Doctor Whos” of Illumination & Illumination-Curated
Who says doctors just give you medicines? We have amazing ones who can simply cure you with their words
As the saying goes — “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” I would like to say that when you read what's below you’d change it to “Doctor Who’s story a day keeps your blues away”
Today is Wednesday for you, but for me, it’s Wellness Wednesday and do you know why? It’s because I’m featuring all doctors in my story today.
They are all Doctorates in their own separate respective fields, but out here on this platform with a common vision. A vision to spread their knowledge by imparting it through words.
Each one is a master in their own ways and has their own style, but again the common factor is the professionalism that reflects in their work.
So today I bring to you a story each- my favourite one from the Doctor Whos of Illumination and Illumination-Curated, starting from the oldest — not in age, but since the inception of the publication to the latest edition just a couple of days ago.
Dr Mehmet Yildiz — Founder of ILLUMINATION
He is that powerhouse that gives us all the light. A man with a vision and a wattage of a million watts that’s forever sparking his thoughts. He daily labours relentlessly to see to it that all the readers have a smile on their face and his writers and editors too. We are thankful to him for creating such an Illuminating publication that is the light of our lives.
