For the fourth year in a row, the Faculty of Medicine at Beirut Arab University, Beirut campus, organized an Artistic and Cultural Night on December 21st, 2011 under the title “Doctors on the Strings of Hearts” where George Khabbaz met in his Art with Talal Haidar in his poetry.
In this Night, some students read their own poems written in Arabic or English; some others presented their paintings and photographs; and some others sang or played music that projected the Lebanese heritage.
Talal Haidar emphasized that medicine is closest to Arts because “it explores the depth of Human body to reach the soul”. He also expressed “pleasure to be present in the educational edifice of BAU and envied BAU students for the freedom they are given and the close relationship that bounds them with their instructors, the thing that he missed while in Europe”.
On the other hand, the artist George Khabbaz recited a satirical poem that summed up the situation in Lebanon till the present time and at the closing invited students to make Lebanon their main target.
On his part, Professor Mohammad Khodr, the Dean of Faculty of Medicine, emphasized that “the event will be repeated annually for the purpose of revealing the poetic and cultural potentials of the future doctors”.
Professor Amr Galal El-Adawi, President of BAU, and Professor Khodr gave each of the guests an honorary shield in appreciation for and recognition of their great accomplishments.
