Maximum Impact
MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore|February 2020
These men live their best lives according to their own rules and shape the world around them for the better, much like the Lab Series MAX LS collection. The potent skincare range for men utilises Power V technology (a multi-factorial complex that deeply moisturises and increases collagen production) to maximise one’s skin resilience against signs of ageing.

Maximum Impact

SANJEEV SHANKER, EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN

The man focused on saving one life at a time.

When and why did you start pursuing your passion?

After I completed junior college, I wanted to be in a profession that allowed me to really change the lives of people, and medicine was the ideal choice.

How does it feel knowing your profession can impact others’ lives?

My job has a direct impact on my patient’s lives; I’m happy knowing that my decisions and actions can make them feel much better, reassured or in less pain.

What were your aspirations when you started this career?

I started out wanting to save the world, but now I feel happy with saving one life at a time.

How do you empower others to make an impact in the lives of others?

Teaching, I’m involved in teaching medical students and young doctors to improve themselves, so that they can save others.

What is a positive impact you create with your job?

Knowing that every small action, though it may seem insignificant to me, means the world to the patients and their family.

Define “maximum impact”.

It is not so much about what I do or say to people. Ultimately, it is the feeling they get when they interact with me.
