Dr. Fitaihi’s integral role in the foundation of the IMC included the creation of the mission and vision, overseeing the design and construction of the facility, guiding it through a successful accreditation, setting up guidelines for recruitment, quality and policy-making while instilling the IMC culture and values to all involved.

لعل أكثر ما يميز الكاتب " د. وليد الفتيحي " أنه مزج بطريقة استثنائية بين ثلاثية العلم والطب والدين في طرحه. مما يجعلك أثناء القراءة تتعجب من دقة وإتقان صنع الخالق أحياناً، وتُبصر حِكماً جديدة من تشريعاته سبحانه أحياناً أخرى.. إذ أنها بطريقة علمية توافق طبيعتنا كبشر.
معظم أفكار الكتاب طُرحت من قبل في برنامج " ومحياي " للدكتور الفتيحي ذاته.. ولُخصت هنا بطريقة مباشرة أكثر.
للأمانة استمتعت وانسجمت مع برنامج ومحياي أكثر من الكتاب.. لكن بجميع الأحوال، أفكار الدكتور الفتيحي مهمة وجديرة بالإطّلاع بغض النظر عن الأسلوب.
وأخيراً، أعجبني بشكل شخصي نظرة الدكتور لعمارة الأرض ومفهوم الإستخلاف فيها، خصوصاً عندما علمت أنه طبيب متميز في مجاله.. وأنه رغم انشغاله بمهنته وتأسيسه لمجمع طبي كبير إلا أنه وجد وقتاً ليهتم بنشر فكر ديني مثمر.
زخم معلوماتي متفرق بين صفحات الكتاب، أعجبني في أسلوبه اعتماده على الحقائق والأدلة والشواهد العلمية في تناوله للموضوعات والمعلومات المختلفة، استفدت منه كثيرًا، وسيكون مرجعًا معتمدًا .
