Two Visions, One Mission: The Lives of Dr. Fayyaz and Dr. Tanvir
Dr. Fayyaz Chaudhry
Dr. Fayyaz Chaudhry seemed to have emerged from nowhere. Since I met him in 2006, he has always been cultured and clear in his thoughts. I was in my first year of intermediate when the sudden demise of ‘Abba Ji’ jolted my world, and I came into contact with several people in the medical field. Though I did not choose that path, a few individuals left a lasting impression on me due to their visionary and humanistic approach during that difficult time. They were truly humane, and I have remained in touch with them through the ups and downs of life. Among them were Dr. Fayyaz Chaudhry and Dr. Tanvir.
Dr. Fayyaz is like a fragrance—his presence is gentle yet impactful. Known simply as Dr. Fayyaz, he and Dr. Tanvir, who later transitioned into a career in law enforcement, were close friends. However, they had slightly different approaches to life. As I mentioned earlier, Dr. Fayyaz was always clear about his goal of making a name for himself in the medical field. While he progressed in his career, Tanvir, who was initially somewhat aimless, eventually joined the Punjab Police as a constable. He is now a head constable and will soon be promoted to ASI. Despite their different paths, both have left their mark on me in unique ways.
Dr. Fayyaz left a deep impact on my mindset. He was a true lover of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I still remember his visits to the “Darood Corner,” also known as ‘Gosha Darood,’ in Sadar Bazaar, Mandi Bahauddin. He had an amazing and pure personality, with his spirituality, punctuality, regularity, and purity standing out as masterful traits. As a spiritual soul, he loved reciting ‘Darood Sharif.’ Every Monday, he would bring a bunch of roses and commemorate the day as the birthday of the Prophet (PBUH). I sometimes think his modest background was blessed by the exaltation of Darood Sharif and his closeness to the beloved Prophet (PBUH). Today, he is a well-known name in his community.
Dr. Fayyaz, B.Sc, BHMS (IUB), DHMS (PU), RHMP (PU), and former House Officer of Pakistan Homeo Hospital, Lahore, left Mandi Bahauddin after completing his DHMS and enrolled in the prestigious Islamia University Bahawalpur to further his medical education. He was a bright and distinguished student among his peers. Even today, his classmates and teachers remember his visionary and mission-driven spirit. During his time at Islamia University Bahawalpur, he led an exemplary academic career. He was not only a standout among the crowd but also highly admired by both his peers and faculty. He completed his studies with thought-provoking and revolutionary insights.
After obtaining his degree, Dr. Fayyaz began his professional career at Homeo Hospital, Lahore. He quickly made a name for himself. With dedication and enthusiasm, he soon became a prominent figure in the hospital. One striking quality he has carried since the beginning is his deep concern for humanity. As a true revolutionary in his medical field, he worked for the welfare of his hometown. His humanistic and visionary approach is reflected in his actions and has left a lasting impression on the hearts of the people he has helped.
Currently, Dr. Fayyaz practices in Mandi Bahauddin, focusing on infertility and kidney-related issues. As an expert in homeopathic medicine, he effectively treats chronic diseases such as kidney stones and infertility in couples. In addition to this, he is also an expert psychotherapist, treating and curing many patients with stress and anxiety disorders. His contributions to homeopathy are truly exceptional.
On the other hand, Dr. Tanvir was also loyal to his profession. Although institutions in Pakistan are often defamed due to nepotism, corruption, and lawlessness, there are still some people who remain honest to their profession, and Dr. Tanvir is one of them. He had a passion for joining the Punjab Police. Though he began his career in the medical field, he soon grew disillusioned and aspired to join the Punjab Police after completing his DHMS from Punjab. Unlike Dr. Fayyaz, he was a jolly person, always wearing a smile and maintaining an optimistic outlook on his future in law enforcement. His dream eventually came true when he, like his elder brother Mr. Aqeel, an ASI, who had been his inspiration and motivation, joined the same institution. I remembered Dr. Tanvir, who was always enthusiastic about his work in the Punjab police. Before joining the police, he used to say, “Danya, start running! Do it daily! Exercise and stay fit because you know it’s essential for the fitness test to become a constable. If you pass the fitness test, the rest will be much easier. So, stay energetic and punctual. The rest is in God’s hands, and soon, we’ll both join the Punjab Police.” I was a bit reluctant, but he went ahead and joined.
After joining the police force after a few years I contacted him as Once, a friend of mine had his motorbike stolen by robbers at the west gate of Wahiddudin Park, Mandi Bahauddin. He filed an FIR, but no action was taken. Suddenly, Fortunately, I telephoned him, explaining that my friend’s motorbike had been stolen and that the authorities had been unresponsive. To my surprise, Dr. Tanvir used his professional skills to track down and arrest the robbers, and my friend got his stolen bike back. That day, I truly admired his professional abilities and told him, “Yaar, you were genuinely born for this profession.” My friend was also happy and changed his opinion about the Punjab police.
Now, both doctors are quite vigilant in their respective fields—one as a head constable and the other as a dedicated man of medicine. They were once classmates and friends, but one became a guardian of the law while the other guards the health of people. And just when memories begin to fade from my mind, I was traveling to my university, the University of Chenab, Gujrat, when both of my friends came to mind, and I wove together their unforgettable memories. May God bless them with more love, empathy, and respect.
