Billandhill were early supporters of arafat’s PLO. Way way back when they first began their murderous rampage through the kibbutz of Israel.
Appears to have passed his General Surgery boards.
Is NOT a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
While he appears to have completed a general surgery residency, not sure where - perhaps Georgetown (med school also) or Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, NJ
Only peer-reviewed publication in the medical literature is:
J Vasc Surg. 1998 Nov;28(5):939-43.
Chondrosarcoma of the aorta: a rare source of bowel and lower extremity emboli.
Clark N, Goldenkranz RJ, Maeuser H, Brener BJ, Brief DK, Huston J, Hertz S, Omeish E, Manicone J, Aueron F, Parsonnet V.
If this is him, his only medical publication is as the -eighth- author of a case report.
Interestingly enough, he is currently listed as chief of the division of general surgery at INOVA Alexandria Hospital; he was elected by his peers, which does speak of some ability and competency.
Some of the on-line puff pieces comment on his number of operations (5000), and that he provides care for uninsured/indigent. Well, I did about 2300 operations in the space of less than 50 weeks as an -academic practice- trauma surgeon, with less than 50% of the patients having a paying source. So, these numbers represent a mid to low volume surgical practice.
