(3,580 posts)I know him from the hospital where I work. I was impressed with his diagnostic skills. I choose him because I think he's a good doctor. His wife is my gyn. She's also afghan. They met here in school. I knew here from when she was a resident. She was called to see one of my patients who took a bad turn. She had to call the chief at home to get permission to transfer the patient to icy. He refused and said he'd come in to see the patient. She told him I am here and you are not this patient needs to go now. She took the patient to the icu herself. I thought when she is done with her residency I want her to be my doctor.
They have 3 wonderful children. I can't believe how I've known all of them since before they were born. Such a wonderful american family.
