The Lebanese Gabriel Gharib Tops the List of French Cardiologists
Lebanese doctor Gabriel Gharib has been chosen as the best cardiologist in France, the state-run National News Agency announced on Saturday.
“Gharib was chosen as the best cardiologist among 200,000 doctors in the country,” French magazine Capital revealed in its October 2013 issue after conducting a thorough investigation.
The NNA detailed that the scientific investigation took about a year to be completed and during which, the opinions of 150 professionals, among them 100 doctors, were taken into consideration about the expertise in the medical field in France.
It continued: “In the first stage, 900 out of 200,000 doctors were qualified. Then the number of candidates was reduced to 150.”
What made Gharib stand out was his achievement of being able to conduct a coronary artery bypass operation without resorting to medical hypnosis, the same source added.
Ghareeb, 56, hails from the Beirut neighborhood of Rmeil.
He settled in the French city of Bordeaux in 1975, and graduated with a medical degree in 1982.
He worked in General Medicine in several French and Parisian hospitals before specializing in Cardiology.
