When Dr Obadah Alquadan isn't working with children on the Hurley pediatrics floor, you might just find him working in his garden or playing the piano as a way to rejuvenate. That ability to conjure up music or peaceful gardens will serve him well during hectic days of teaching and caring for patients.
