Just for the sake of accuracy, how do we know that Roozrokh was Muslim. It is my understanding he was born in Iran but moved here at the age of 2 or 3. That may not reflect his current faith, nor is it a reflection of what his family’s faith was (as Iran did have several major religious groups before the ‘purge’ in the 70s..)

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is, I just want to make sure before we jump on the bandwagon.. none of the articles I’ve seen mention his religion.

I don’t know what his religion has to do with the story. You hear about docs doing this every once in a while. It happens.

Here's his Kaiser Permanente bio:

My Biography

At Kaiser Permanente, I appreciate the ability to focus on tumors of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, and esophagus. I am able to provide a high quality surgery for members. Kaiser’s integrated system attracts expert physicians, and affords me opportunities to work with top-notch GI specialists, radiologists, oncologists, and pathologists. We work as a team to deliver efficient, multidisciplinary approaches to cancer treatment. I think our members receive excellent care.

I have a particular interest in pathology of the foregut. I have specialized training in transplantation, which allows me to have a greater comprehension of surgical conditions affecting the foregut. I regularly attend professional conferences of the American College of Surgeons.

When I am away from work, my hobbies include racing cars and playing golf. I THRIVE by endeavoring to practice good karma.

"Good karma"? Sounds more like a hippie than a Wahabbi.
