Dr Nicole Tsim wins young ophthalmologists writing competition
Dr Nicole Tsim is the winner of the 2013 John Henahan Prize. Dr Tsim received her prize from ESCRS president Peter Barry at the Video Awards Session.
After the ceremony, Emanuel Rosen, chairman of the John Henahan Prize Judging Panel, congratulated Dr Tsim and said her essay, written on the theme “Recollections of My First Intraocular Surgery” was outstanding. The Judging Panel, was chaired by Dr Rosen, chairman of the ESCRS Publications Committee.
“In Nicole Tsim’s award-winning essay she liked drawing analogies with several sports where errors can easily creep in if composure is not maintained,” said Dr Rosen. “She also likens her first ECCE experience to a pilot flying solo for the first time where, as she admits, disaster is always just around the corner. Her determination to control her hands and her breathing help us all to recall those first steps in undertaking intraocular surgery trying to banish negative thoughts and concentrate on having a positive attitude.”
