She returned to the family, caring for everyone and loving her work. Due to her outstanding performance, she was even sent abroad to study for two years.
During this period, she gained fame by frequently solving medical problems and publishing several papers in internationally renowned medical journals. After returning, she quickly became a top neurosurgeon in the country.
