Think of him often. I worked as his only nurse for 16 years. Met him on orthopedic floor at PGH first day he started there from MCV. I had been there since 1972. I transferred to ICU for a year until one day he ask me to work for him as a private scrub nurse and at his office. I did except his offer. I learned so much from him for all those year. Good man.

Mohamed was a truly caring, wonderful man. He was the first person I worked for as an x-ray tech at the age of 18.
Had it not been for him and the kindness he shared, I would not be where I am today.
